C11 - Neurology MOC Prep Course
| Event Time: | Saturday May 4, 2019 7:00 am to 4:00 pm |
| Topic(s): | General Neurology: Overview |
| Director(s): | Joseph Safdieh MD, FAAN |
| Description: | This program is designed to assist neurologists in preparing for the ABPN Maintenance of Certification (MOC) exam. The exam is an important part of the 10-year MOC cycle and is designed to ensure that practicing neurologists possess the core foundational knowledge to care for patients. This prep course will review the core topics covered on the examination, based on the ABPN outline. These topics span the spectrum of clinical neurology. The faculty have been carefully selected to ensure that they have both content expertise as well as a knowledge of the scope of coverage on the examination. Using an audience response system, each speaker will frame the discussion of the assigned topic around examination-style questions with specific coverage of the clinical features, diagnostic methods, and treatment of each of the covered clinical entities. |
| Completion Message: | Participants should feel more comfortable with the format and structure of the MOC examination, know the scope of topics covered, and should acquire updated knowledge about the core clinical features, diagnosis, and therapuetic modalities for many of the neurologic disorders covered on the exam. Additionally, participants will identify both areas of strength as well as areas where they should focus their studying efforts for the upcoming examination. |
