Description

The Structure and Function of Components of the Mechanical, Endocrine, and Electrical Systems of the Brain — The structure and function of components of the mechanical, endocrine, and electrical systems of the brain.

Connections and Detachments: Mental, Physical, and Emotional —

They collaborate to preserve homeostasis, but what happens when they deviate – and why?

What Happens and Why in Common Neurological Conditions —

Learn what happens during an acute stroke, brain bleeding, seizures, and aneurysms.

Error Messages: What Is the Brain Trying to Tell Us? — Learn about the pathophysiologic mechanisms underlying brain dysfunctions including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and depression.

Did you realize that a TIA can result in lifelong brain damage?
Or do you want to know what your neuro tests are looking for?
Or are you intimidated by the prospect of caring for people with neurological issues?

If you’re having trouble explaining to your patients why their heart disease is a risk factor for stroke, or how shrugging their shoulders and sticking out their tongues assesses their brain function, or what to look for as signs of medication side effects, you should go back to basics with the help of a program that can make the information simple and understandable.

Most of us studied our anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology in school, when our primary goal was to pass the class. We studied and learned, but we quickly forgot.

You are learning differently today. Your brain has learnt over time to organize your professional information into “file folders” depending on your clinical experiences. When you return to understand these principles, your brain will store the information in the appropriate “folder” for the next time you face a patient with that issue. In other words, you’ll remember the knowledge now that you’ve organized it.

Attend this class to learn the fundamentals of neurological anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology, which will help you identify patient issues sooner and respond to them more effectively. In addition,

You will be able to communicate more successfully with doctors and your colleagues.
You will feel more assured.
You will be able to deliver safer and more effective treatment.

You won’t want to miss out on this intriguing and useful training that will help you improve results and advance your healthcare practice!
