Fundamentals of Neurological Examination

Training Overview

Fundamentals of Neurological Examination is a comprehensive, simulation-based educational program designed to strengthen the core clinical examination skills and bedside diagnostic reasoning of neurologists and neurology trainees. Hosted at the ADN CoE Training, Research Center & Core Lab, this two-day program integrates structured theoretical education with hands-on neurological examination simulations, focusing on accurate localization, systematic assessment, and patient-centered clinical evaluation.

The course covers comprehensive sessions on neurological history taking, mental status examination, cranial nerve assessment, motor and sensory system evaluation, reflex testing, coordination, gait analysis, and higher cortical function assessment. Participants gain hands-on experience in realistic simulation environments replicating outpatient clinics and inpatient neurology settings, emphasizing structured examination techniques and diagnostic consistency.

Through interactive simulation workshops, attendees perform step-by-step neurological examinations on simulated patients and clinical scenarios under the supervision of expert neurologists and international faculty. Dedicated sessions on examination pitfalls, localization strategies, and correlation with neuroanatomy ensure a solid and practical clinical foundation.

In addition to technical examination skills, the program features expert-led discussions on clinical reasoning, differential diagnosis, and effective communication of neurological findings. Attendees will also participate in case-based discussions addressing common and challenging neurological presentations encountered in daily practice.

By the end of the program, participants will have enhanced their confidence and proficiency in performing comprehensive neurological examinations while strengthening their diagnostic reasoning and clinical workflow efficiency.
