Honored to have an autographed copy of Neurology for the Non-Neurologist, signed by both editors, Professor Steven L. Lewis and Professor Aaron L. Berkowitz (@AaronLBerkowitz ) This highly informative book provides a practical, comprehensive, and up-to-date guide for non-neurologists to evaluate, diagnose, and manage common neurological conditions in clinical settings. It is an especially important and valuable resource for low- and middle-income countries, where there remains a significant shortage of specialist neurologists. Professor Steven L. Lewis, one of the editors of this book, is my mentor and advisor. He is the current President of the World Federation of Neurology (WFN) and a globally recognized leader in neurology education. He is also the immediate past Editor-in-Chief of Continuum: Lifelong Learning in Neurology, the official CME publication of the American Academy of Neurology, and has held major leadership roles with the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology and the US Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education. In 2019, he received the A.B. Baker Award for Lifetime Achievement in Neurologic Education from the American Academy of Neurology, and in 2023, he received the American Neurological Association Award for Excellence in Education. Professor Aaron L. Berkowitz is a leading voice in neurology education and global health. He serves as a Professor of Neurology at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF), Health and Policy Advisor in Neurology to Partners In Health (PIH), and Senior Specialist Consultant to Doctors Without Borders. He previously served as Director of the Global Neurology Program at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Associate Professor of Neurology at Harvard Medical School. I am very happy to have finished reading this informative book, and I strongly recommend it to clinicians, students, researchers, and avid readers interested in neurology, global health, and medical education. 👉🏽🔗 Link to LinkedIn post: linkedin.com/posts/olivier-u…
