Comprehensive Review of Neurology

Stay on Top of an Ever-Changing Field

The Comprehensive Review of Neurology program consists of 45 audio lectures with accompanying study materials covering the full spectrum of modern clinical neurology. It is designed to improve the assessment and care of patients with neurological disorders and to keep neurologists on top of a rapidly evolving specialty area. The lectures are presented by an acclaimed group of teachers and practitioners led by Course Director Martin A. Samuels, MD, an internationally recognized clinical neurologist at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School.
