This course prepares physicians for board certification and recertification examinations in neurology. The topics and time spent per topic are based on the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology’s (ABPN) description of the board certification and recertification examinations. The time allotted for each topic is based upon the approximate distribution of the subject matter as given by the ABPN and the level of difficulty of the topic. This course additionally reviews material pertinent to the Canadian and European Board Certifications in Neurology. Each participant has access to recordings of our lectures and multiple choice questions to further tailor individual preparation and review. The course is interactive with Q&A Sessions and panel discussions.
