Topic: A Practical Approach to Clinical Neurology
Do neurology cases make you nervous, scared, or uncomfortable? Neurophobia is a well described phenomenon in medicine describing the fear of basic and clinical neurology. Neurophobia can even potentially leading to compromising care in patients with neurologic diseases.
In this session, you will build your confidence in this often tricky subject. Dr. Hague will start with a review of how to get the most out of your neurologic examination, focusing on tricks and tips for busy practitioners. She will then guide you through a practical approach to neurolocalization. You will work through case based examples to practice your neurolocalization skills and discuss presentations of common neurologic disease seen in practice. A discussion of pharmacologic and non-drug options for the management of seizures will also be covered in this session.
