This
course provides an excellent introduction to the neurology necessary to evaluate
a patient in deciding whether or not to refer to a neurologist. This course
will teach the therapist the basics of a differential diagnosis of a psychological
v. a neurological disorder.
Designed originally for medical doctors to quickly assess for neurological problems, this course is relevant to psychotherapists and nursing professionals, as it provides a "Rapid Neurological Assessment when Time is Limited,"
The Four-Minute Neurologic Exam will allow students to:
*Receive an overview of a brief clinical neurological exam technique; and know which parts of the exam they may do, within the scope of their practice
*Know how to differentiate an organic v. a non-organic illness
*Have a ready reference when they have neurological questions about their patients
*Know when to refer a patient to a physician for a neurological exam
*Please note that while there are parts of the Four Minute Neurologic Exam that are not within the scope of practice of psychotherapy, they are important to know about to make an accurate differential diagnosis and referral.
