Description

Stay current with cutting-edge neuroscience research in this 15-hour self-paced course taught by Dr. Norman Hoffman. Using the Carrick Institute’s 8-step critical analysis model, clinicians will explore recent peer-reviewed literature on concussion, PTSD, neuroinflammation, autism, vestibular dysfunction, ADHD, Parkinson’s, migraine, and more. Each chapter includes an article review, guided lecture, and quiz—designed to translate scientific findings into evidence-based clinical strategies. Ideal for maintaining fellowship or diplomate status.

What you’ll learn:

  • Apply an 8-step framework to critically evaluate and clinically apply neuroscience research.
  • Translate findings from studies on concussion, ADHD, PTSD, and vestibular disorders into treatment protocols.
  • Assess the clinical impact of interventions like aerobic exercise, music therapy, melatonin, and neuromodulation.
  • Interpret research on neurodegeneration, circadian regulation, inflammatory bowel disease, and psychiatric comorbidities.
