2023 Comprehensive Update in Neurology for Primary Care and Other Providers

2023 Comprehensive Update in Neurology for Primary Care and Other Providers is organized by Continuing Education, Inc. and will be held from May 06 - 14, 2023 at Holland America's Nieuw Statendam, Barcelona, Spain.

Program Purpose:
Purpose: This CME-based didactic lecture series will allow Continuing Education, Inc. to address the gaps in the clinical care of patients commonly identified in routine clinical practice to fill those gaps in clinical care. We will cover a wide range of topics within the field of neurology that directly applies to practitioners caring for patients with neurological disorders as they treat them daily.

To ensure that updates are performed on evidence-based medicine to provide optimal patient care, the clinician must be aware of the most recent standards of care to ensure that updates are carried out on evidence-based medicine. As a result of the limited time available for treatment, a primary care physician must remain current on multiple issues involving subspecialty care to maintain a lifelong learning commitment.

Outcome Statement: Nothing is more daunting than neurological ailments that affect the brain and spinal cord, and a lack of information may result in hesitation or delay in care, both of which can result in irreparable damage. As a result, people who serve as "gatekeepers" for the care given by neurological specialists "providers" must have knowledge of acute neurological emergencies and fundamental treatments for common neurological diseases.

Topics:
• The 5-minute Neurological Examination
         • Having attended this lecture, participants should be more prepared to perform a neurological examination focused on specific symptomatic complaints, as well as understand the localization of abnormal features as a result of the lecture.
