Program Description

This course is designed to help neurologists stay current in clinical practice. The format uses case-based, multiple choice questions, and brief didactic presentations exclusively. With the aid of the audience response system, faculty will engage participants in clinical problem solving. The multiple choice questions and supporting materials are derived from recent issues of Continuum: Lifelong Learning in Neurology®. Expert faculty will use the question-based format as a springboard for discussion of timely and important topics and developments across the spectrum of neurology. Core topics in neurology and current literature searches are stressed.

This program will cover five subjects, each presented by a pre-eminent expert in the field who has also demonstrated superior skills at presenting material of this type to large audiences. Topics include: dementia, neuro-oncology, epilepsy, movement disorders, and stroke.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion participants should be able to increase and refresh their knowledge of core topics in neurology through presentation of common and not-so-common clinical problems. The five core topics include dementia, neuro-oncology, epilepsy, movement disorders, and stroke. Participants should also learn to work through difficult clinical presentations both logically and successfully.
