NLGY 9504 Neuro Psychiatry
In the neuropsychiatry clinics and the neurology service, the student will evaluate patients under the supervision of an attending or resident, and will present patients to the attending or at team conferences. He or she may be asked to write chart notes and case summaries, which will be read and approved by an attending or resident. Linking the neurological and psychological components of a patient’s condition, facilitating communication among patients, doctors, families, and hospital systems, neuropsychiatry work is one of the most challenging of clinical skills. In the era of integrated care, this knowledge and these skills are indispensable. This elective in Neuropsychiatry takes a practical biopsychosocial approach to helping student navigate this complex terrain.
