Mastering Clinical Integration & Patient Care
What is Mastering Clinical Integration & Patient Care?
The “Mastering Clinical Integration & Patient Care” series is a true masterclass crafted for experienced functional neurology practitioners eager to refine their clinical reasoning and patient care through an innovative, interactive approach. This course series, taught by top Carrick Institute instructors, diverges from rigid course outlines, encouraging a dynamic, freestyle progression and scholarly engagement. In this intensive two-day course, advanced healthcare professionals will immerse themselves in a comprehensive approach to functional neurology, focused on real-time clinical integration and interdisciplinary collaboration. Guided by expert instructors, participants will work through a live patient case, encompassing every stage of care—from subjective data collection and diagnostic testing to sensory integration and outcome measurement. Each aspect enables practitioners to build effective, personalized care plans grounded in systematic thinking and evidence-based practice.Key Features
- Live Patient Case Studies: Engage in the step-by-step assessment of live cases, with a strong emphasis on real-world data collection, diagnostic interpretation, and personalized care planning.
- Interdisciplinary Insights: With contributions from leaders in neurology and neuro-optometry, participants will gain perspectives on the integration of visual, vestibular, and proprioceptive inputs in functional neurology.
- Hands-on Learning: From hands-on diagnostic tests to sensory input analysis, every session is designed to sharpen clinical skills and decision-making.
