Description

Neuroscience continues to be a part of medicine that people either love or despise. In order to truly understand the neurological patient and be able to manage the current neurological problems that our country is facing today, it is imperative that all providers – advanced practice nurses, nurses, physical and occupational therapists and speech language pathologists – have a firm foundation of neuroanatomy. It is through such a foundation of knowledge that the provider will understand what is happening with their patient clinically and be able to arrive at a treatment plan with a desirable outcome. This webinar is designed for the non-neuroscience provider and gives a basic presentation of the central nervous system, its structures and functions.
