Module 2: Acute Vertigo

Be the one who sees clearly

Course Overview

This module helps you tackle one of the most confusing and common complaints in the ER: Vertigo. You'll learn the difference between true vertigo and general dizziness, and why that distinction matters more than it seems. We’ll walk through central and peripheral causes, what red flags to look out for, and how to get the patient’s story right through solid history-taking. 

Clinical exams are broken down step by step, including neurological and general assessments that help you decide if it’s safe to treat or time to scan.You’ll also explore how to tell central from peripheral vertigo using bedside tools, imaging, and smart investigation choices.

This module is part of the Neuro-Emergencies Course, itself a key offering within the Rescuer Program by TebZone, the CME platform designed to equip emergency doctors with sharp, real-world training. Accredited from ARACME (Arabian Association of CME & Scientific Publishing).
