The course will include hands-on practice of pediatric neurological examination techniques. Complex case presentations will focus on interdisciplinary care and decision making. Participants will complete live patient examinations and interventions to demonstrate their progress towards advanced pediatric care. The course will include continued progression in their independent research study and reflection on their individualized professional development plan.
