TECHNICAL SUPPPORT

What browser should I use for the online seminars?

If you need CE credits or the FNS Certificate of Completion, use the Chrome browser (best tracking for attendance) with default settings and no private or incognito windows, no add-ons, extensions, pop-up blockers, etc. To reset the Chrome browser to default settings, follow these instructions. All videos and both exams are required to be complete for each module. When taking these courses, remember to login and logout of the website each day otherwise your attendance may not be recorded. If you pass the exams but do not participate in watching all the videos for each module, our website will flag you as incomplete. Incomplete means no FNS Certificate of Completion or CE credit (when available).

What type of internet connection is best for the online course?

Broadband or DSL connection is fastest. Please note: if you are using a smartphone or tablet to watch the live streaming video, make sure you are connected to WIFI as you will be streaming data and could incur data charges if not connected to WIFI.

Can I use smartphones, tablets, and laptops for the course?

The live streaming online video course is designed to be accessed from one browser or device at a time. Please don’t try to have the website open on your laptop, your smartphone, and your tablet all at once. Logout when you’re done or when moving from one device to another.

Only open the live streaming online video course in one browser at a time. Before you close your browser window, select the logout link in the bottom left corner under the navigation menu. This will prevent issues when logging back on a different device.

What's the quickest way to solve a technical problem?

Many technical problems can be easily corrected by clearing your browser cache. If you experience difficulties, try closing any browser windows, and then clearing your cache. Here’s a LINK that includes instructions for clearing cache on various browsers and systems.

I’m having trouble viewing the videos. What should I do?

Take the following steps:

1. Log out in the bottom left corner of the course, then log back in with your username and password. This will refresh access; If not, try #2.

2. Refresh your browser by first clearing your cache. Then quit the browser application completely and reopen it. We highly recommend using Safari, Firefox or Chrome.

How long do I have access to the video replays and course materials?

For original live or live-streaming registrants, the course is available online for two years after the original live presentation. For All Access monthly subscriptions, you’ll have ongoing access to all modules as long as your subscription is active.

What if I have other questions not shown here?

COURSES, COURSE FORMAT, TESTS, AND DISCUSSION FORUM

Are there notes with each module?

Yes, there are notes you can download for each module.

Is there an online location to find reading recommendations and discussion to prepare for the course?

Reading recommendations and discussions to prepare attendees will be conducted at the Functional Neurology Seminars Facebook group for registrants (the link will be emailed when you register). Pre-Course material is also located at the WEBSITE.

Where can I post questions about the course?

You can ask questions about and discuss the course material on the Functional Neurology Seminars Members-Only Facebook group for registrants (the link will be emailed when you register).

Is there a required examination at the end of the course?

Details on the exam requirement is located HERE.

For online subscribers via recorded replays, we recommend 30 days after your registration date to complete the exams. For the All Access subscription, we recommend 30 days after you watch all videos in order to get the appropriate credit (if available) from NUHS.

For all registrants, IAFNR has no deadline for the exams, but waiting too long may delay credit.

Is the examination open book?

Yes, the test is online and open book.

What grade is required to pass the test?

A grade of 70% is required to pass the test.

May I retake the test if I fail the first time?

For IAFNR credit, the test can be retaken until a passing grade is received. DCs or DC students wanting state hours through NUHS (when available) or ACNB credit may only take the quiz twice and must receive a passing score of 70%.
After two failed attempts, if you want credit for the module, you must notify FNS that you are repeating the course (watching all replays and taking exams over). Our website will need to reset your profile, and report the results of your second attendance.
 

Is the order of lectures progressive so the knowledge is progressive?

Each module is independent of the others and does not require attendance of previous modules. However, attending the courses in sequence can provide greater understanding of the overall material.

How does this program differ from other programs?

Functional Neurology Seminars is the first functional neurology program to blend neurological rehabilitation with diet, nutrition, laboratory analysis, electrodiagnostic pharmacology, and lifestyle in a multi-disciplinary approach.

FNS is a structured program that provides detailed and referenced course notes, flow charts, and research sources.

FNS registrants can access program materials for two years after registration. FNS will conduct pre-course preparation and post-course review on the private “Members Only – Functional Neurology Seminars” Facebook group open to paid registrants only.
