2026 Course Highlights

This course covers the essential, state-of-the-art strategies and techniques to evaluate, diagnose, and quickly respond to neurological emergencies. Expand the fields below for a comprehensive description of the course's scope and its practical education to help optimize your patient outcomes.

Comprehensive Descriptions

EVALUATION, DETECTION, EARLY ACTION

Best practices for the workup of common neurological complaints: Headache, Back Pain, Dizziness, Weakness, Seizures, and Altered Mental Status
Optimized approaches to the history
An algorithmic approach to evaluating headaches (what causes you "cannot miss," what tests to do and when to image in order to find them)
A practical algorithmic approach to back pain; how to spot the history and examination “red flags” for spinal cord and cauda equina compression. Learn when to image—and what to look for!
Acute weakness—the evidence-based initial evaluation for uncommon but serious causes
The modern evidence-based evaluation of dizziness (spoiler alert—physical exam beats imaging!)
Video clips from actual patients that help you see, “firsthand,” hard-to-describe physical exam findings, including nystagmus and the head impulse test
How to do a “meaningful neurologic exam” on a patient when numerous other patients are waiting to be seen: what to do and how to prioritize
The best workup for subarachnoid hemorrhage: have "reports of the death of the lumbar puncture" been greatly exaggerated?
The best inpatient workup for stroke, including how to treat it and what testing needs to be done urgently
Best current evaluation of altered mental status and coma
How to determine when a coma patient is not recoverable or is brain dead
Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS): more common than you think!
Early actions for patients with severe TBI and best management for patients with mild TBI

DIAGNOSIS

Optimize the physical exam:
- How to quickly and accurately diagnose dizziness at the bedside
- How to diagnose and treat BPPV
- What is the significance of a Babinski sign in patients with back pain?
- What findings in a headache patient suggest a specific diagnosis?
Optimize how you order imaging:
- When to use CT/CTA/CTP, including what to order and how to interpret results
- When to use MRI, including what to order, when to order, and when NOT to order
- How do I know which headache patients need neuroimaging, and which test should I order? Which blood tests can help and when to order them?
How to tell if it is a stroke mimic, and if you're not sure, how to proceed with treatment?
Optimize your diagnostic and management skills for common cranial nerve disorders
The brain is on fire—approach to common CNS infections: meningitis and encephalitis
Functional neurologic disorders—how to distinguish, how to manage, and how to most effectively communicate to patients?
Back pain: when is imaging indicated, what to order, and how to interpret results?
Neurological problems in geriatric patients: delirium, weakness, Parkinson’s disease
Misdiagnosis: one clinician’s perspective based on personal experience

MANAGEMENT of HIGH-RISK NEUROLOGICAL CONDITIONS

Updates for acute management of spinal cord and cauda equina compression
Advances in the management of seizures
State-of-the-art management of cerebral aneurysms and SAH
Updates in ED and ICU management of TBI
Management of head injuries
Management of complex headache patients
Management of coma and delirium
Updates in anticoagulation reversal for ICH and TBI
Endovascular stroke treatment: updates, criteria to determine which patients are candidates for it, when to call the interventionalist
What to do with patients who might have had a TIA (and when to do it)
Thrombolytics in stroke: updates and criteria to determine who should (and should not) receive this treatment
What to do when you find a cerebral aneurysm: determining which patients get surgery and who needs follow-up
Evidence of cauda equina or spinal cord injury: what to do; information needed by spine surgeons; when to call them and criteria to determine who needs surgery
Updates for intracerebral hemorrhage patients and whether they need blood pressure treatment, anticoagulation reversal, or neurosurgery
Acute seizures: treatment updates; how to tell if they are nonepileptic seizures; how to manage them in the inpatient (and outpatient) setting; how to choose among all the antiepileptic drugs
Treating patients with a carotid or vertebral artery dissection
Patients with minor head injury and concussion: what they need acutely, and what they need in follow-up
How to use up-to-date evidence to quickly, accurately, and confidently diagnose dizziness at the bedside
What to do with patients if you think they have a functional neurologic disorder
What to do when a patient’s underlying neurologic disorder seems to be getting acutely worse
What to think about and what to do with patients with acute visual loss

STATE-OF-THE-ART STROKE MANAGEMENT

Modern stroke management: optimizing IV thrombolytics and endovascular therapy using advanced imaging rather than just the clock
What’s new in the rapidly evolving field of endovascular therapy
Blood in the brain and anticoagulated? Updates in anticoagulation reversal for ICH and TBI
How wide is the window? Treating stroke up to 24 hours after onset
Treating TIA and intracerebral hemorrhage
Updates in ischemic stroke, arterial dissections, and reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome
The right tests to order for potential stroke: when to order CTA, CTP, MRI, MRA, and what is the difference between them?
Determining if it is a stroke or stroke mimic
How to avoid missing posterior circulation strokes

CARE OF ELDERLY PATIENTS

How to ensure the best care for elderly patients who have fallen
Elderly patients with delirium or altered mental status: special considerations for care
Elderly patients with new headache: don't be blind to giant cell arteritis
How to determine which patients need further workup for a cause of a fall and which need testing for acute injuries
