12/17/2025- Carrie Ford, CNCT specialist II interviews Michael Andary, MD and Nassim Rad, MD on the balance between diagnostic testing and clinical care — when it’s appropriate to add an Evaluation and Management component to the EMG, and when it’s more appropriate to keep the study purely diagnostic. 37 min
AANEM supports appropriate billing of E/M and EDX services on the same day when a significant, separately identifiable E/M service is provided and documented, as outlined in its position statement ‘Billing for Same Day Evaluation and Management and Electrodiagnostic Testing.’ This statement describes five clinical scenarios in which reporting both an E/M code and EDX codes for the same patient, same date of service is medically appropriate.
10/15/2025- Chilvana Patel, MD is interviewing Devon Rubin, MD on "Lessons Learned in the EMG Lab: Elevating EMG Practice Through International Exchange." Dr. Rubin will be sharing his extensive experience in EMG education and collaborative practice across the countries. That effort is the exchange of best practices and the development of collaborations that ultimately improve patient care and promote health equity worldwide. 30 min.
9/30/2025- Do you have questions about neuralgic amyotrophy? In this episode, Shawn Jorgensen, MD will check in with Joelle Gabet, MD, the lead author of the recent review of neuralgic amyotrophy in Muscle and Nerve. She will review recent updates in the clinical presentation, electrodiagnosis, imaging, and treatment of this disorder with a focus on evolving aspects, including imaging findings and surgical and non-surgical implications. 30 min.
9/23/2025- Carrie Ford, CNCT interviews Clark Moser, MD, ABEM, ABPN on "Electromyography Referrals: Principles and Practices for Optimizing EMG Orders ". This podcast is for neurologists, PMRs, orthopedists, PCPs, NPs, PAs, and residents who refer patients for EMG and NCS. It also helps NCS technologists understand the clinical intent behind each referral—guided by the EMGer’s diagnostic focus. This episode offers practical strategies for improving the quality of the EMG referrals by treating each order as a focused clinical study. We review what the EMG evaluates—nerve and muscle function—and how to understand results in terms of localization and severity. Listeners will learn to move beyond vague referral terms like “weakness,” “pain,” or “paresthesia” and instead indicate in the EMG order what specific neuromuscular or electrodiagnostic question they want answered. 13 min
9/17/2025- Chilvana Patel, MD moderates a discussion with Pushpa Narayanswami, MD, Nicholas Silvestri, MD, and Kelly Gwathmey, MD on the evolving treatment landscape in myasthenia gravis (MG). The panel reviews the use of targeted therapies in women of childbearing age with myasthenia gravis, alongside guidance for perioperative care before elective surgery. Through illustrative patient cases, the experts provide insight into practical challenges and emerging opportunities in tailoring advanced immunotherapies to individual patient needs. 26 min
7/31/2025- Chilvana Patel, MD is hosting a case-based panel discussion titled "Evolving Therapeutic Horizons in Myasthenia Gravis: Expert Perspectives on Targeted Therapies - Part 1." She will engage with renowned neuromuscular specialists—Pushpa Narayanaswami, MD, Nicholas Silvestri, MD, and Kelly Gwathmey, MD—to explore real-world cases and discuss the latest advances in targeted treatment options for Myasthenia Gravis. 31 min
7/7/2025- In this episode, Dr. Nadia Khalil interviews Dr. Nathaniel Robbins, the Director of the Autonomic and Small Fiber Neuropathy program at Mass General Brigham, on POTS. In this episode, they review the diagnostic criteria, clinical presentation, differential diagnosis, adjunctive testing, and management. 41 min.
5/30/2025 - In this AANEM podcast, Chilvana Patel, MD, interviews Devin Rubin, MD, and Nortina Shahrizaila, PhD, about global disparities in EMG and nerve conduction study training. They discuss challenges such as inconsistent educational program standards, limited resources, and lack of mentorship, especially in developing countries. This podcast covers the current efforts to improve access to hands-on training and standardized education. 30 min.
5/20/2025- Dr. Kelly Gwathmey interviews Dr. Corey Bacher from the University of Toronto, Dr. Charles Kassardjian from the University of Toronto, both in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. We also have Dr. Ruple Laughlin from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, and Dr. Puspha Narayanswami from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, Massachusetts. They will all be discussing recommendations for monitoring and managing glucocorticoid related systemic complications from the recently published: “International Consensus Guidance for the Management of Glucocorticoid Related Complications in Neuromuscular Disease." 25 min
4/30/25- This AANEM podcast features Dr. Joome Suh, a neurologist and neuromuscular specialist at Brigham and Women's Hospital, interviewed by neuromuscular fellow Dr. Nadia Khalil. They discuss HMG-CoA reductase immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (HMGCR IMNM), a rare autoimmune muscle disease often associated with statin use. The discussion covers clinical presentation, epidemiologic considerations, histopathologic findings, and treatment approaches, with special focus on Dr. Suh’s recent research published in Muscle and Nerve with co-author Dr. Anthony Amato. Their study found that patients receiving maintenance IVIG as part of their regimen were more likely to have a normal CK at 6 months and the daily prednisone-equivalent was lower. A sub-group analysis suggested IVIG as monotherapy is effective. 13 min
