Riassunto:

Here's the only book to define the new core competencies revolutionizing neurology certification and recertification. Written and sponsored by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology (ABPN)-the official accrediting organization in this specialty-it spells out all of the knowledge needed to achieve and maintain professional certification.

• Discusses the recent paradigm shift in medical accreditation from a subject-centered curriculum to one based on demonstrated abilities.
• Describes the evolution of the core competencies established by the Accreditation Council on Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) and the American Board of Medical Specialists(ABMS).
• Details all of the neurology core competencies instituted by the ABPN within the areas of Patient Care · Medical Knowledge · Interpersonal and Communication Skills · Practice-Based Learning and Improvement · Professionalism · and Systems-Based Practice.
• Explains how both residency training and the recertification process will be influenced by the core competencies mandate.
