In this case-driven session for hospitalists, you will direct your attention to high-yield, evidence-backed resources, explain findings that most alter post-test probability, and demonstrate techniques that elicit focal signs. Then evaluate altered mental status, syncope, gait failure, and weakness as you apply and synthesize a crisp, practical neurologic exam with confidence.
