Consider Chiari

Bobby Jones CSF is committed to continuing the education of medical professionals of various disciplines and has started to grow its Consider Chiari seminar series. If you are interested in expanding this program to a Grand Rounds or CME-associated seminar at your institution, please contact our Executive Director, Dorothy Poppe.

Proceedings from Research Colloquia

Each autumn, the Bobby Jones Chiari & Syringomyelia Foundation hosts a Research Colloquium that dives deeper into the specific clinical issues associated with the diagnosis and treatment of Chiari malformation, syringomyelia and other cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) disorders. Each book represents a written collection of the in-person presentations given and discussions had at these meetings.

If you have late-breaking research results that you would like to present at these meetings, please contact us at info@bobbyjonescsf.org to inquire about the upcoming events. Check our calendar for upcoming meeting dates and learn more about previous meetings here.
