Neurology Clerkship - Patient Care

8 units

As students experience the neurology clerkship, they will build on their knowledge of neuroanatomical localization and neurophysiology to diagnose, treat, and care for patients with a wide array of neurological disorders. Students will develop their skills in the neurological history and exam in a variety of inpatient and ambulatory settings. They will learn the various therapeutic modalities that are used to improve the lives of patients with neurological conditions. Students will experience the interprofessional aspects of neurological care and explore medical disciplines closely connected to neurology. The overarching emphasis of the clerkship will be to provide learning experiences through active participation in patient care.
