What you’ll be able to do

  • Perform a complete neurologic examination to localize neurologic lesions and explain relevant basic neuroanatomical pathways

  • Develop a prioritized differential diagnosis and refined problem list for general neurological lesion localizations based on the neurologic exam

  • Explain the differences between general neurologic imaging techniques and select appropriate diagnostic imaging for a patient

  • Understand the pharmacokinetics, standard dosage, and recommended monitoring of patients treated long-term with antiepileptic drugs

  • Administer appropriate drugs to treat status epilepticus and identify and monitor impacts of antiepileptic drugs in long-term patients

  • Effectively communicate with clients the appropriate treatment options and medical management for patients with neurologic diseases

  • Recognize situational limitations and offer or recommend referrals for a patient as needed
