Abstract
Neurologists are commonly consulted for patients with a functional neurologic disorder. Best practices as to their diagnosis and treatment have been established, and multiple academic centers have programs in place for their treatment. However, given the number of patients suffering from this condition, a comprehensive model of care that can be broadly implemented needs to be developed and applied beyond specialized academic programs.
