The Neurology Video Primer is an interactive learning tool in which viewers watch 8-15 minute, content-rich, videos on the basic concepts of neurology and the most common diseases, diagnoses, and treatments available. These videos cover topics needed to master board exams, clerkships, and the basic skills required to be an effective and competent physician. Topics discussed include stroke, epilepsy, headache, neurologic emergencies, demyelinating diseases, neurodegenerative disease, as well as the relevant epidemiology, basic disease mechanisms, diagnostic approaches, and appropriate treatment options that every neurologist should know.

Students in medicine, nursing, dentistry, and pharmacy will benefit from gaining a deeper understanding of these core concepts in neurology. In addition, health professionals with more advanced training who want to broaden their knowledge, or even members of the lay public who have an interest in clinical neuroscience, will also enjoy these informative but easy-to-comprehend videos.

These short videos put the mastery of the content under the direct control of the viewer. The viewer can study at a pace that meets their individual need, whether at home, on their laptop, or on their smartphone during the morning commute. The videos are engaging, user-friendly, and fill the learning gaps traditional print textbooks can’t provide.
