What to Expect from This Book (and What Not to)

Abstract

Neurologists take pride in their clinical bedside skills, perhaps even more so than other physicians. Good clinical mentorship is mandatory in order to develop such skills; however, due to an ever-increasing need for more efficient working structures, the time and dedication that mentorship requires may not always be available. The authors have therefore written this book for neurology residents who are looking for a personal clinical mentor, guiding them through the entire patient encounter: from a comprehensive history and an efficient clinical examination to a thorough differential diagnosis, ancillary investigations, and finally treatment options.
