NLGY 9315 Neurology Elective VBMC
The neurology elective is designed to give the student experience in evaluation of inpatient and outpatient, as well as exposure to lumbar puncture, neuroimaging, and some common neurophysiological testing. The student is assigned to two weeks of outpatient clinic, and two weeks of inpatient service with the opportunity of exposure to neuro-interventional procedures and neurocritial care cases. The student is expected to have assigned patient care duties, oral presentations, practice consult or progress notes, daily work schedules and participate in assigned learning opportunities. The goal of the neurology clerkship is to provide students with the fundamental skills required by all physicians to recognize, diagnose and formulate an initial treatment plan for patients with common neurological disorders.
