Neurology Clerkship

Catalog description

Each student will spend four weeks at one or more of the institutions listed affiliated sites working directly with a neurologist in both inpatient and outpatient settings. In these settings, the students will have the opportunity to hone their skills in patient care, medical knowledge, communication, professionalism, health care systems and personal development in the context of neurologic problems. Special emphasis will be placed on honing a comprehensive neurologic history and physical exam including cognitive testing. To ensure adequate exposure, each student will be required to log each required patient encounter and procedure completed in the online database the university maintains. These logs will be routinely shared with the Clerkship Director to better determine the adequacy of the learning environment. Didactic sessions and virtual learning are included and designed to enhance the clinical learning experience as well.
