Course Overview

Neurology Demands More Than Memorization

Neurologic diagnosis begins with careful history, examination and localization — then requires the clinician to distinguish overlapping presentations, recognize dangerous warning signs and select appropriate testing and treatment.

Samuels Comprehensive Review of Neurology builds on the legacy of Dr. Martin A. Samuels with 60+ expert-led lectures covering complex, uncommon and frequently encountered neurologic disorders. The program emphasizes systematic evaluation, diagnostic localization, differential development, prognostication, therapeutic management and coordinated follow-up.
