If you find that you're not encountering patients with functional neurological disorders (FND), it’s because you're not recognizing them.
FND are unfortunately very common yet poorly understood, representing a spectrum of conditions often hidden in plain sight. They manifest as movement disorders, seizures, and cognitive disruptions, but without visible causes or clear diagnostic markers, many patients feel misunderstood by the healthcare system.
This applications-based training equips you to overcome the inherent barriers in recognizing FND, enabling effective management of their diverse and variable manifestations.
Functional Movement Disorders (FMD) * Functional Seizures (non-epileptiform seizures)
Drop Attacks * Persistent Postural Perceptual Dizziness (PPPD) * Functional Cognitive Disorders
“The Yips” * “The Twisties”
Bridge the gap between complex neurologic symptoms and effective, personalized treatment strategies as you deepen your expertise:
By the end of this course, you'll not only enhance your clinical acumen but also gain strategic approaches to treatment planning and patient communication that respect the complex nature of FND.
Transform your practice and become a leader in managing and understanding Functional Neurological Disorders, ensuring that no patient feels overlooked.
