Pediatric Neurology (Clinical Elective)

4 units

The Phase III elective experience in child neurology is designed to adapt to the individual goals and objectives of students. The elective takes place among five possible venues as chosen by the student after discussion with the course director: 1. Inpatient ward service 2. FL/ED consult service 3. PICU consult service 4. Outpatient Clinics (with 8-10 clinics per week) 5. Video EEG (VEEG) monitoring service. The combination of services and experiences will be arranged directly between the student and the Course Director prior to beginning the rotation. In outpatient clinics, students will rotate between a variety of subspecialty clinics and work with a variety of attendings in order to experience the breadth of outpatient pediatric neurology. Students rotating on the inpatient ward service will work closely with the pediatric neurology resident to develop neurology-specific care plans and will function above a clerkship level. On the FL/ED consult services, students will work with the consult attending and pediatric neurology residents on that team to see consults in the ER and other hospital floors.
