Neurology for Non-Neurologists 2020

1587 views Tags: CME Oakstone Board Review

Stay Abreast of Advances in Neurological Medicine

As new neurological therapeutics become available, it can be difficult for the non-neurologist to stay abreast. It is important that these clinicians — often the first a patient consults — are familiar with the epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, management, and prognosis associated with neurological conditions.

Neurology for Non-Neurologists covers the full scope of clinical neurology: commonly encountered patient complaints such as dizziness, back pain, seizures, and movement disorders, as well as special, common topics that can be mis- or underdiagnosed. Speakers in this online CME course are highly skilled with vast experience educating non-neurologists.

* Date of Original Release: June 15, 2020

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

At the completion of this course, you should be able to:

  • Identify the cause of dizziness in a patient in order to manage the condition effectively
  • Recognize sleep disorders and formulate appropriate treatments
  • Identify serious illnesses that result in back and neck pain
  • Differentiate between ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes
  • Recognize the signs and symptoms of multiple sclerosis
  • Explain the current methods of evaluating and treating seizures
  • Differentiate between primary headaches and headaches that result from systemic disorders
  • Describe the neurological complications that result from systemic cancers
  • Discuss the methods of recognizing and treating neuropathies
  • Describe distinguishing characteristics of cognitive and behavioral disorders
  • Identify the differences between hyperkinetic and hypokinetic movement disorders
  • Explain methods of treating acute and chronic pain
