EMCert Module Mastery: Neurology Course
EMCert Module Mastery: Neurology Course is organized by The Center for Medical Education, Inc.
Description:
The Neurology EMCert Module Mastery course is based on the four-page Presentation Scenarios outline provided by the American Board of Emergency Medicine. The potential range of topics that can directly or indirectly involve derangements of the neurologic system is extensive.
