Keep Learning... with every issue, or now On-Demand

With thousands of articles published annually in neurosurgery, it is an almost impossible task to sort through and read everything necessary to stay current. And there's the daunting task to even identify all the key clinical developments that are reported on in the numerous journals.

The physician-editors with Practical Reviews in Neurosurgery sort through dozens of publications, find the most relevant studies, summarize them, and suggest ways to apply this information in practice. Most of the reviews are available to you in convenient audio format — allowing you to download this material to your laptop, MP3 player or almost any portable device.

The traditional format of Practical Reviews allows you instant access to a database of neurosurgery issues, CME quizzes, and reviews where you can comment and share ideas with colleagues. Choose whether to receive your issues online, or mailed to you each month on an audio CD with the Audio/Online option.

With the all-new Practical Reviews On-Demand option, you can search for information across more than 30 specialties and create customized monthly issues.  You'll be able to earn unlimited CE credits in both neurosurgery and subspecialty topics.

ACCREDITATION

As is commendable by the ACCME criteria, CME is integrated into the process for improving professional practice with educational strategies implemented to remove, overcome or address barriers to physician change. Physicians are unable to consistently integrate new information into their practices because of the ways new medical knowledge is structured and disseminated and the time it takes to completely scan for new information. Practical Reviews™ selects and translates peer-reviewed literature for practical use, therefore diminishing the barrier of time.


Intended Audience

Neurosurgeons and others interested in Neurosurgery.


Special Prerequisites for Participants
