Neurology Clerkship

Catalog description

The MS III MEDICINE and the MIND block will cover a full semester in which the student will have an opportunity to integrate teaching experiences across multiple disciplines, learning and understanding the interface between medical and psychiatric conditions affecting patients across settings from the emergency department and hospital (inpatient and consultation liaison service) to the ambulatory clinic. The specialties of Internal Medicine, Psychiatry, Family Medicine, Neurology and Emergency Medicine will be integrated into a full-time clinical rotation in the format of a blended longitudinal integrated clerkship. The primary purpose of the Clinical Neuroscience Clerkship offered in the MS III year is to provide the medical student with the ability to perform a neurological interview and examination, interpret signs, consolidate symptoms and signs into syndromes, accurately diagnose neurological diseases, and identify appropriate evidence-based management strategies.
