Dear Attendee of the SF Neurological
Society 60th Annual Meeting
As a CMA accredited provider, the SF Neurological Society must conduct an
analysis on the degree to which our CME mission has been met through
the educational offerings provided, with expected results
articulated in terms of changes in competence, performance or patient
outcomes as a result of
participation in the program. Please take a few minutes to complete this
online survey which is necessary for us to be able to continue providing
CME accredited educational programs. Your
participation in the survey will also help the CME Committee to
identify topics that our members feel are relevant and locations optimal
for future CME programs.
Please click the link below to access the anonymous survey:

lesson and game is more your style. Take a dip in the pools, followed
by a pampering massage. Whether traveling on business or with the
family, you'll delight in the deluxe amenities and unmatched service
that await you at the Hyatt Regency Monterey.
Transportation:
The Hyatt Regency Monterey is five minutes from the
Monterey Airport; 117 miles from San Francisco Airport and 70 miles

rent a car in Monterey as taxicabs are not readily available and the
Hyatt is not within walking distance of a central retail/restaurant
area. Parking at the hotel is complimentary.

From Monterey Airport (1 ˝ miles): Exit the
airport onto Olmstead Rd. Turn right on Garden Rd. At the end of
Garden Rd., turn left onto Mark Thomas Dr. Hotel is located on the

From San Francisco or San Jose (traveling South on
Highway 101): From 101 South, take the 156 West exit in the
Prunedale area, just north of Salinas. Stay on 156 West for six miles
until you reach Highway 1. Take Highway 1 South for 13.2 miles, and
then take the Monterey exit. The ramp drops onto Fremont Street, turn
left onto Aguajito Road. At the second signal light, turn left onto
Mark Thomas Drive and turn right into the hotel driveway. Follow the
driveway up the hill, and then veer right towards the
Registration/Lobby area.

California's Central Coast. Located between Los Angeles and San
