I hope that you enjoy, and derive value from, our core subject matter, focussed on balancing evidence-based medicine with patient case examples, anecdotes, explanations, personal perspectives, tips and tricks, and mnemonics, whilst adopting a semi-conversational tone and emphasising connections between related topics. This is all in an attempt to provide a structured and systematic, whilst at the same time colourful and engaging, way to approach your neurology learning, ultimately so as to aid long-term memorisation
Core subject matter (almost all of the content) is freely available as video lectures, audio podcasts, original lecture slides and written episode transcripts, all available on this website. Alternatively, the content is accessible from YouTube (video lectures), Spotify, Apple Podcasts and all other mainstream podcasting platforms (audio podcasts), and the original lecture slides are also uploaded to slide sharing platforms. The content is organised according to subspecialties and conditions, along with dedicated EEG and NCS/EMG teaching sections
In the future, MCQ banks, flash cards, posters and other merchandise will become available (at a very small premium, perhaps through Patreon subscriptions, in order to cover ongoing operational costs, whilst maintaining the not-for-profit philosophy of Riisfeldt Neurology Education, with any additional profits (if any) being donated to effective global health-based charities)
