"In pediatric neurology, the examiner isn't just testing your knowledge. They're testing whether you can explain a seizure diagnosis to a terrified parent, manage a seizing child without hesitation, and navigate a cannabis oil request with professionalism — all in the same exam. Only practice builds that."

Who This Is For

Built for the Specific Demands
of Pediatric Neurology.

General peds courses cover bronchiolitis and failure to thrive. This course covers status epilepticus protocols, NEAD disclosure, GBS management, and 160+ more specialist stations that general courses don't touch.

🧠

Peds Neurology Residents & Fellows

The sub-specialty exam is in a different league

You're past the basic peds content. Your exam will test you on rare syndromes, complex genetics, and nuanced ethics that general courses don't prepare you for. You need specialist-level scenarios practiced out loud — not more reading.

"The first time I practiced the NEAD disclosure station out loud, I realised how unstructured my approach was. Three weeks of recording fixed that completely."
Primary Audience
🔁

Retaking After a Fail

You know what broke — now fix it

You probably lost marks on the parent communication stations or blanked on a syndrome's specific criteria under exam pressure. Reading the same notes won't fix a performance problem. Recording yourself doing the stations over and over will.

"I failed because of the ethics station — I had no structured framework. Medaptly's professionalism stations gave me exactly that. Passed on my second attempt."
Rebuild Confidence
⏱️

Exam in Under 3 Months

No time left for passive revision

You know the neurology. But knowing and performing under examiner pressure are different skills. With 166 ready-to-use stations, you can jump straight into structured practice — no setup, no scheduling, starting today.

"6 weeks out, I still hadn't practiced explaining an epilepsy diagnosis to a parent out loud. The parent education stations changed my preparation completely."
Time-Critical

This is NOT for you if…

You haven't started your core pediatric neurology content yet. You want to passively watch lectures and feel prepared. Or you're looking for a course that covers general pediatrics — this course goes deep on neurology specifically. Medaptly rewards candidates who are ready to record themselves, review the playback, and do the reps.

The Moment Everything Changes

From "I Know This" to
"I Can Prove It."

These are the exact moments where pediatric neurology candidates drop marks. Tap each one.

You give lorazepam in the status epilepticus station — then freeze on second-line timing and forget to escalate to senior support
Benzo dose and timing, phenytoin/levetiracetam second-line, airway support, escalation — your protocol runs automatically, without hesitation
A parent asks about cannabis oil for their child's epilepsy — you stumble, hedge, and leave the station without a clear professional response
You acknowledge their concern, explain the evidence gap, discuss what is authorised, and document the conversation — structured, empathetic, and professional
You blank on the approach to a floppy infant — forgetting the upper vs lower motor neuron framework that determines every subsequent question
Central vs peripheral hypotonia, SMA vs GBS vs botulism — your clinical approach is systematic, scored, and second nature after 20 repetitions
Parents in the first unprovoked seizure station demand an MRI — you agree under pressure instead of explaining why it may not be indicated
You explain indications for neuroimaging, what low-risk means, and acknowledge their anxiety — marking yourself against the professionalism checklist every time
You reveal a NEAD diagnosis to a family and the conversation collapses — no structure, no empathy framework, no safety-netting plan
You deliver the disclosure using a validated communication structure — validating symptoms, explaining the diagnosis without dismissal, outlining management
You walk into your exam knowing the neurology — but having never once practiced any of this out loud, under pressure, being watched
You've recorded 166+ stations, reviewed the playback, and scored above 85% consistently — you walk in with evidence, not hope
0/6 transformed
Tap each row to transform it

The gap between where you are now and where you need to be isn't a knowledge gap.
It's a performance gap — and the only thing that closes it is deliberate, structured practice.

  • One-Page Rapid-Review Guide

    The whole case on one page. History pearls, exam findings, management steps. Read it the morning of your exam. Walk in already knowing it.

Why This Course Exists

General Peds Courses
Don't Prepare You for This Exam.

A course that covers bronchiolitis and failure to thrive is not the same as a course built around epilepsy syndromes, GBS, metabolic disorders, and neuro-specific ethics disclosures. You need specialist-level preparation.

What a pediatric neurology OSCE actually tests General Peds Courses Medaptly Peds Neuro
Specialist neuro syndromes — GBS, SMA, NMOSD, metabolic disorders Basic coverage only
Practicing the parent communication out loud, under pressure
Neuro-specific ethics stations — NEAD, cannabis oil, LP refusal
Emergency neuro protocols — status epilepticus, raised ICP, GBS crisis Generic ER content

Before You Decide

The Cost of Not Practising
Is Already Adding Up.

Every week you spend reading instead of practising is a week of marks you could have locked in. And if you fail — the price is far beyond the exam fee.

6+ Months of Career Delay

Waiting for the next specialist exam cycle. Watching colleagues progress. Delaying your subspecialty career.

$8,000+

Retake Fees & Lost Earnings

Registration fees, study materials, time off work — compounding on top of what you've already spent.

$3,000+

The Mental Cost

The self-doubt after specialist-level failure. Explaining it to colleagues. The identity toll. Unmeasurable.

Priceless
Conservative estimate of failing once: a 6-month delay, retake fees, and lost specialist income — before you count the emotional toll. That number lands well above $20,000. Medaptly costs less than a single day of that delay.

Every Question You Have,
Answered Honestly.

This course is built specifically for pediatric neurology OSCE formats assessed in international examinations including: MRCPCH Clinical (UK), MCCQE Part 2 (Canada), Saudi Board Pediatric Neurology OSCE, FRACP Paediatrics Clinical (Australia/NZ), MRCPI Paeds (Ireland), FCPaed(SA) (South Africa), PLAB 2 (UK), and MMED(Paeds) (Singapore). The 9-task station structure — history, neurological examination, reasoning, investigations, management, and parent communication — mirrors every globally assessed format. If your exam isn't listed, contact us before purchasing.
This course is 100% pediatric neurology content — it does not overlap with the general peds course. Every one of the 166 stations is specific to neurological conditions: epilepsy syndromes, neuromuscular disorders, cerebrovascular events, metabolic disorders, demyelinating conditions, and neuro-specific ethics scenarios. If your exam includes pediatric neurology as a subspecialty, this course was built for you.
Yes — and specifically for peds neurology, this is where practice matters most. The parent education and ethics stations almost always expose candidates who have only studied passively. Even 4 weeks of recording yourself doing the NEAD disclosure, the cannabis oil request, and the status epilepticus protocol will create a measurable shift in how you perform under observation.
Every candidate feels this way at first — especially for sensitive stations like disclosing a NEAD diagnosis or navigating a parental demand for unnecessary imaging. That discomfort is exactly the exam anxiety that costs marks. All recordings are stored locally on your device only. Nothing is ever uploaded. The embarrassment fades after a few sessions. What replaces it is the confidence of having actually done it before.
Yes. Medaptly is fully responsive across desktop, tablet, and mobile. The recording feature works on all modern browsers with no app download needed. Practice during a break, between clinics, or at home — wherever you have 15 minutes.
90 days or 180 days depending on your plan. The 90-day plan is ideal for a focused exam sprint. The 180-day plan gives you time to work through all 166 stations thoroughly — recommended for anyone who wants to go deep on all 13+ systems rather than focusing on high-yield areas only.

The Version of You
That Passes Already Exists.

They practice the NEAD disclosure out loud. They run the status epilepticus protocol until it's automatic. They record, review, and fix — before exam day, not after.

You can keep reading the same notes. Or you can start performing the stations. Only one of those choices changes what happens in that room.
