Comprehensive Review of Neurology for Board Exams and Clinical Knowledge Update

This comprehensive review course is designed to help you pass your Neurology board exams and update your clinical knowledge base. With an emphasis on evidence-based medicine and board-relevant standards of care, this course incorporates new concepts and treatments to ensure you’re well-prepared for your exams and daily practice.

Course Objectives

At the conclusion of this course, each participant should be able to:

• Identify and discuss clinically relevant aspects of neurochemistry, neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, and neuropharmacology
• Interpret neuroimaging studies
• Recognize and describe all significant neurological disorders and their significant variants
• Discuss developmental disorders and their scientific underpinnings
• Distinguish abnormal behavioral and personality changes
• Describe the use of appropriate psychopharmacology agents for all significant neurologic disorders and significant interactions
• Identify and plan treatment for alcoholism and substance abuse
• Identify and distinguish between altered states of consciousness and memory disorders
• Implement appropriate primary and secondary stroke prevention strategies
