Rare Wednesdays at HSK, Dr Horst Schmidt Klinik

Rare diseases are characterized not only by their low prevalence but also by their wide heterogeneity and complexity. They often show a broad clinical spectrum with respect to severity of symptoms, progression and age of onset. The identification of affected patients is therefore a not simple and easy task.

Horst Schmidt Klinik, in collaboration with Brains for Brain Foundation, is organizing a series of monthly seminars to be regularly held on the third Wednesday of each month (for more precise and detailed information please see the list of appointments reported below).

Events will allow participants to learn from top neuroscientists and expert researchers and clinicians news on latest scientific findings on rare diseases.

The seminars aim to stimulate an interdisciplinary collaborative effort essential for analyzing all new diagnostic, therapeutic and technological strategies. The social and scientific relevance of such effort consists in the creation of best conditions for a dynamic exchange of knowledge and expertise aimed to assure a patient’s  timely and accurate diagnosis and successful disease management meant for producing the best health outcomes for the patients.
