Course Description:
Neurosurgery has long been a mystery for some health care providers. Today, secondary to the aging population and improved diagnostics, we are increasingly seeing more neurosurgical patients in hospitals, skilled and rehabilitation facilities, and the outpatient settings. It is paramount that all providers: nurses, advanced practice professionals and therapists have a firm understanding of the world that is neuroscience.
This seminar is designed to give individuals, either with or without a neuroscience background, a solid foundation of knowledge to build upon through their clinical practice. Through a discussion of neuroanatomy and neurophysiology, you will achieve a better understanding of the proper neurological assessment and what your findings mean for your patient. A case-based approach will be used to explore neurosurgical diseases, treatments, implications and care from brain tumors to hemorrhagic stroke.
