1. Recognize the presentation, diagnosis, comorbidity, and pathophysiology of stroke along with the latest research in rapid recognition and delivery of stroke care.
2. Review the presentation of slowly evolving (i.e. stuttering) deficits across a variety of pathophysiologies including how to differentiate them from other etiologies.
3. Differentiate common and uncommon conditions presenting with headache.
4. Define effective inpatient approaches for seizures, ICU monitoring, intracerebral hemorrhage, and others.
5. Compare and contrast the differential for weakness, spells, and memory loss.
6. Learn about breakthroughs and exciting research on the delivery of neurologic care in all settings.
