Description

For the first time, contributions by leading scholars and thinkers of neurological surgery today have been assembled to discuss the heritage, current philosophical foundations and future currents of thought influencing the specialty. Highlights include fascinating, useful and original analysis of neurosurgery as an art, a science, and a discipline of integral benefit to humanity. And now, physicians who demonstrate their comprehension of the material presented in this book by completing and self-scoring ten multiple choice questions corresponding to each chapter will earn 15 credit hours in Category 1 of the Physician's Recognition Award of the AMA. The Category 1 credit hours are awarded upon the return of a brief evaluation form and a modest processing fee.
