Neurology for Non-Neurologists 2022 ( VIDEOS)
This online CME course is designed to help non-neurologists stay abreast of the vast field of clinical neurology, better diagnose and manage their patients, and make appropriate referrals. The 60+ lectures in Neurology for Non-Neurologists cover both common and uncommon neurological disorders.
Speakers — chosen for their clinical expertise and experience educating non-neurologists — cover all areas of clinical neurology in practical, focused 30-minute continuing medical education lectures. You’ll benefit from their expert advice, clinical guidance, and valuable take-home points, including:
Numbness and Spells. The key to assessing spells is to determine whether the spells are fast (seconds), suggesting seizures, or TIA or slow (minutes), which suggest migraine.
Gait Disorders. Testing gait is a very sensitive but not specific test of neurologic function.
Hyperkinetic Movement Disorders. The diagnostic criteria for essential tremor have been updated to include bilateral action tremor of the upper limbs of at least 3 years’ duration, with or without head, voice, or leg tremor.
Neuropathy: What You Should Know. Peripheral neuropathy is not one disease. Your first step in patient work up a patient with suspected neuropathy is to characterize its phenotype so you can better tailor your management.
and many more…
