Improve knowledge, competence, and performance with presentations that thoroughly and broadly cover all areas of neurology. Learn about atypical forms of commonly seen disorders and the presentation of complicated signs and symptoms. Get guidance regarding judicious use of imaging and laboratory testing, along with clinical pearls about interpretation of these tests.
With each of the 55+ one-hour lectures in the Comprehensive Review of Neurology online CME program, you’ll get expert take-home points, including:
- Neuromuscular Ultrasound. Neuromuscular ultrasound is a rapidly developing, high value technology that is enhancing the field of neuromuscular disorders as an essential adjunct to electrodiagnostic testing.
- Back and Neck Pain. While pain radiating to the extremities is often caused by nerve root compression, axial spine pain is generally caused by musculoskeletal causes rather than nerve compression..
- Voodoo Death Revisited – The Modern Lessons of Neurocardiology. Catecholamines from a sympathetic storm can alter the electrocardiogram and damage the cardiac muscle.
- Neurological Complications of Checkpoint Inhibitors and CAR-T Therapies. Prompt recognition and treatment of neurologic problems that arise in patients receiving checkpoint inhibitor therapy or chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy is improving outcomes.
- And many more!
