Conforming to the ABPN Certification Examination’s new format, Clinical Neurology for Psychiatrists remains an intensive, dynamic three-day weekend course. Offered for the 40th year, the course stresses neurologic and neuropsychiatric disorders’ clinical features, evaluation, diagnosis, management, and treatment.
