Foundational Courses
Functional Neurology Essentials, formally known as (RBE) is a state-of-the-art program that teaches healthcare practitioners from any discipline the art and science of nervous system optimization. It achieves this by integrating multiple models of brain function with well-established principles in neurophysiology & clinical neuroscience and by delivering that information in an easily understandable and applicable manner.
Functional Neurology Essentials will appeal to any healthcare practitioner wanting a fast and effective way to learn and implement the fundamental principles involved in nervous system optimization & Functional Neurology into their patient care.
If you are looking to begin implementing Clinical Neuroscience to a variety of patient populations, ReceptorBased® Essentials would be the best place to begin.
Scholars from around the world enjoy Carrick Institute’s online self-paced educational offerings. Our clinical neuroscience (CNS) program prepares you for diplomate exam from the ACNB and the fellowship exam from the ACFN while also raising your clinical excellence so you can serve your patients at the highest levels possible.
