Neurology Residency

Introductory readings and videos that will help you out on the floor (Google Drive link below). This is not an exhaustive list, but it will serve as a good foundation for your first few weeks on the floor/stroke. Even if you don’t have time to read these immediately, try to read an article whenever you have a break, and all this knowledge will accumulate!
