PSYH 9523 Behavioral Neurology
This elective is offered for 4th year medical students both at UTRGV and from other schools interested in combined training who want a closer look at the environments, and practice styles of dual-boarded physicians. We design the experience around the learning needs of the student and always include participation in our Memory Disorders Clinic and Neuromodulation Clinic. Students may also participate in a traumatic brain injury clinic at the VA Outpatient Center. In addition to individual supervision, the student participates in regularly scheduled clinical case conferences, Department of Neurology and Psychiatry journal club, and resident led, mini-neurology seminars. Rotating students will be expected to attend teaching didactics in the Stroke Center at Valley Baptist Medical Center. By the end of the rotation, the student will lead one of the weekly conferences on a topic chosen in collaboration with either the rotating neurology resident, a stroke ward attending, or elective supervisor and the Course Director. 4th year medical students presentation should be of quality for possible presentation at a national meeting and/or publication.
