Program Summary
Comprehensive Review of Neurosurgery
The Comprehensive Review of Neurosurgery activity is designed for neurosurgeons to aid their study for certification and recertification examinations administered by the American Board of Neurological Surgery. The goal is to provide a broad and deep all-encompassing review of the specialty, presented in subspecialty sections. The greatest emphasis is focused on Brain Tumors and the Spine, but all neurosurgical interventions are covered. The speakers – from key national academic centers – have been chosen for their excellence as experienced neurosurgeons and as teachers. This will ensure that the learners will receive a thorough understanding of the current thinking in neurosurgical decision making, appropriate surgical techniques and methods, and prognosis.
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.
Intended Audience
Comprehensive Review of Neurosurgery
Neurosurgeons preparing for the certification and recertification examinations given by the American Board of Neurological Surgery as well as those neurosurgeons seeking a comprehensive overview of the entire specialty while seeking to attain CME credits for continued licensure.
