When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

What will I get if I subscribe to this Specialization?

When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.

Is financial aid available?

Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.

How can telehealth visits increase patient access to neurologic health care? How can you successfully guide patients and their caregivers through a telehealth visit? In this short course, we’ll discuss the benefits and constraints of virtual neurological visits as well as practical strategies to make these visits successful for both you and your patients. Building on your clinical knowledge, we give helpful ways to modify your practice to suit the context of a telehealth video visit.

This course will discuss when it is appropriate to complete a neurological assessment versus when patients should be seen in-person. We’ll discuss how caregivers and assistants play a key role in successful visits and patient safety and how to evaluate pediatric and cognitively impaired patients. No matter if you’re an experienced healthcare professional or a healthcare student interested in neurology, this course introduces you to the basics of virtual physical assessments. By taking this course, you can contribute to broadening patient access to neurological healthcare. This course doesn’t assume any previous experience with telehealth or specific technologies, but will rely on your previous experience with physical assessments. Whether you are extremely adept at performing telehealth visits, or a complete novice, this course contains practices and expert guidance to positively benefit your telehealth practice.
