Explore Key Topics in Neurology
UCLA Review of Clinical Neurology focuses on common neurological disorders and their adept management. Led by Alon Avidan, MD, MPH, and Barbara Giesser, MD, this CME course includes case-based lectures on topics such as movement disorders, innovations in neurostimulation, critical care neurology, CNS infections, headache, dementia, multiple sclerosis, concussion and traumatic brain injury, pediatric neurology, and more. It will help you to better:
- Utilize current evidenced-based practices to improve diagnosis and management of major disease states in neurology
- Discuss neurologic disease utilizing a case-based approach across the age groups
- Recognize the newest therapeutic strategies for common neurologic disorders and complaints
- Identify, articulate and apply ethical principles to the care of patients with complex and challenging neurological disorders
* Series Release: November 30, 2019 – Series Expiration: November 29, 2022
