Fundamentals of Clinical Reasoning in Neurosurgery

Catalog description

This weekly case-based discussion series will feature prevalent cases in neurosurgery. By the end of the course, students will be able to have working heuristics for reading XR, CT, and MRI images for spinal and cranial pathologies, generate differential diagnoses for common neurosurgical presentations, understand basics in operative management, and consider bioethical issues involved with difficult neurosurgical cases. Each class will be run in a socratic seminar style with didactics built into the cases.
