Course Description

Clinical Neurology and Psychiatry for Psychiatrists (CNPP) is the most important, intensive, dynamic five-day review course available. Offered for over 45 years, it has been revamped for the new ABPN certification format. Using an anonymous audience response system, CNPP uses a question-and-answer format combined with didactics to engage the learner and comprehensively review topics in neurology and psychiatry most relevant to the revised exam. CNPP stresses the clinical features, evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of a wide range of neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders. Topics include dementia from a variety of illnesses, aphasia, anosognosia and other perceptual disorders, TBI, seizure disorders, antiepileptic drugs, neurotransmitters, neuroanatomy and neurological testing including CT, MRI, EEG and lumbar puncture. The course also reviews expectable changes and illnesses of childhood and old age.

 

The interactive presentations, discussions and explanations will stress the main areas of psychiatry: basic science, clinical presentation, diagnosis and treatment. Questions using audio, visual, and written vignettes are designed to familiarize participants with the Part C of the examination.

 

An experienced and well-informed faculty will discuss the examination format, process, and test-taking strategies, and offer helpful insights throughout the course. The faculty will emphasize subjects that are critical, complicated, or otherwise important. They will not belabor the obvious or dwell on the esoteric.

 

Educational Materials

Attendees will receive the latest edition of Dr. David M. Kaufman’s Clinical Neurology for Psychiatrists (9th edition, Elsevier), which will be mailed to them ahead of the course for pre-reading. Furthermore, all participants will receive the course syllabi onsite during check-in.

Educational Objectives and Expected Outcome

  • Identify key areas and clinical competencies needed to prepare for the ABPN Certification Exam.
  • Evaluate patients presenting with psychiatric and neurologic symptoms using appropriate diagnostic criteria and clinical assessment strategies.
  • Differentiate among common psychiatric and neurologic disorders based on clinical presentation, history, and evidence-based guidelines.
  • Apply current evidence-based treatment strategies for psychiatric and neurologic disorders to improve patient care and clinical outcomes.
  • Develop appropriate management plans for patients with psychiatric conditions, including pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic treatment approaches.


The CNPP course will prepare participants for the new ABPN Certification Examination while providing a comprehensive review of current advances in neurology and psychiatry. Through evidence-based instruction and clinically relevant case discussions, participants will strengthen their diagnostic and clinical decision-making skills, expand their knowledge of emerging developments, and apply current best practices to improve patient care.
