Program Summary


Comprehensive Review in Neurology

The Comprehensive Review of Neurology offers concise, focused coverage of the major topics included in the neurology exams. Dr. Samuels and his faculty present the material thoroughly, covering all neurological subspecialty areas.

Medical Errors in Neurology - How Neurologists Think: What My Errors Taught Me

Errors in medicine were highlighted by the 1999 report of the Institute of Medicine. No one can deny that avoidance of error is an admirable goal, but the reality is that some errors are unavoidable. Furthermore, these errors, when analyzed critically, can lead to new insights into the diagnostic process. In this lecture, an experienced clinical neurologist reveals some of his own errors by presenting real case histories. Using the principles of cognitive psychology, each error is analyzed by identifying the heuristic (rule of thumb) that was utilized in making the mistake. By recognizing the process whereby clinical decisions are made, the doctor may be able to reduce the frequency of some categories of errors and learn medicine in the process.
