NEUR 730 Neurology Core Clinical Experience

Credits: 6
The purpose of the Neurology core clinical experience is for students to learn the principles and skills underlying the recognition and management of the neurologic diseases that a general medical practitioner is most likely to encounter in practice. These include acute and chronic diseases of the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nervous system, and muscles. Students will be able to perform a neurological history and examination across the developmental spectrum to create an ordered differential diagnosis and initial treatment plan. This includes the ability to interpret common neurological diagnostic testing, and apply basic neuroscience principles as they care for patients. Students will understand the role of a consultant in the care of patients with neurological disease in both inpatient and outpatient settings.
