xplore Key Topics in Neurology

Comprehensive Review of Neurology consists of 44 lectures with accompanying study materials covering the full spectrum of modern clinical neurology. This CME course is designed to improve the assessment and care of patients with neurological disorders and to keep neurologists on top of a rapidly evolving specialty. The lectures are presented by an acclaimed group of teachers and practitioners led by Course Director Martin A. Samuels, MD, an internationally recognized clinical neurologist at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School.

This board review course looks at a wide range of key topics in neurology to help you stay updated. Comprehensive Review of Neurology includes case-based lectures on topics like neurologic investigations, sensory complaints, epilepsy, coma and disorders of consciousness, etc. It will help you to:
