The Neuro course will break down the most important things you need to know about the brain and nervous system! This is literally the command center for the whole body – so if anything goes wrong with the command center, all the other functions will be affected! We will walk you through how to assess the neuro system as well as how to identify and manage the most common and most important Neuro disorders. We take the overwhelm out of major diseases like Stroke and Seizures and help you understand how to keep these patients safe, no matter their condition.
