Professional Practice Gap: 1. Identifying and managing functional neurological disorder (FND) remains a major challenge for health care providers. 2. Managing FND requires close collaboration between primary care physician, neurologist, psychiatrist and psychologist. Often neither provider thinks that he or she should be the treating clinician, and as a result, this patient group can suffer a substantial gap in care.
Learning Objectives:
Upon completion of this session, participants will improve their competence and performance by being able to:
1. Define Functional Neurological Disorder (FND).
2. Identify the different types of FND.
3. List different treatment strategies available for various FND symptoms.
