NENS 301A: Neurology Core Clerkship

VISITING: Closed to visitors. TYPE OF CLERKSHIP: Required. DESCRIPTION: The Neurology Core Clerkship is designed to train students in the systematic, logical approach to clinical neurology via the comprehension and application of the neurologic history and physical exam in the evaluation and management of neurological diseases. Responsibilities differ among the clerkship sites, however a common core of teaching and exposure to a variety of neurologic patients encounters and experiences will be presented to all students. Complete evaluation of neurologic patients through competent performance and interpretation of the neurologic history and examination and command of the practical knowledge of clinical conditions affecting the nervous system is anticipated by the end of the clerkship. Students are assigned to the following locations for training: Stanford Hospital Neurology Inpatient Wards; Stanford Neurology Adult Outpatient Clinics; Stanford Hospital Neurology Intensive Care Unit; Stanford Neurosurgery service; Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Child Neurology Inpatient Consultation service; Santa Clara Valley Medical Center (SCVMC) Neurology Inpatient Consultation and Outpatient Clinic services; the Palo Alto Veterans Administration (PAVA) Inpatient Consultation and Outpatient Clinic services. Selection of a 2 week experience at the Stanford Hospital Neurology Inpatient Ward, Stanford Hospital Neurology Intensive Care Unit, Stanford Neurosurgery, or Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Child Neurology Consultation service sites will be automatically paired with a 2 week experience in the Stanford Neurology Adult Outpatient Clinics to ensures clinical exposure to both inpatient and outpatient neurology at every clerkship site and all these venues satisfy the core graduation requirement for the Required Neurology Clerkship. Regardless of site location, students are expected to attend the core didactics of the clerkship in person at Stanford School of Medicine main campus (or virtually during the COVID19 pandemic) that take place once weekly on Wednesdays and end at 6:00PM, as well as a mandatory in-person, full-day orientation on the first day of the period. Passing of the NBME Subject Exam in Neurology is a required component of the clerkship and materials for study are provided to each student in support of this effort. PREREQUISITES: None. For students requesting placement on neurosurgery service, preference is given to students who have completed the core surgical clerkship. However, student must have completed formal OR SCRUB TRAINING. Advanced students with clerkship experience are preferred for the neurocritical care (ICU) site placement. PERIODS AVAILABLE: 1-12, full-time for 4 weeks, 4-9 students per period. CLERKSHIP DIRECTOR: Kenneth Leung, M.D., leungk25@stanford.edu and Brian J. Scott, M.D., bjscott@stanford.edu.

NENS 308A: Advanced Clinical Elective in Adult Neurology

VISITING: Open to visitors and SCORE applicants. TYPE OF CLERKSHIP: Selective 2. DESCRIPTION: This clerkship provides an opportunity for students in the clinical years to have an advanced clinical experience in Adult Neurology. The student will be expected to perform at a "subinternship" level on the Stanford Inpatient Consultation, Stroke, and/or ICU service, where students will be often evaluating undifferentiated patients with neurologic symptoms and will have increased independence as a student member of the team. In rare circumstances, we may ask applicants to consider an outpatient clinical or inpatient specialty experience as space allows. In addition to this advanced clinical and professional role, the student will have an opportunity to be a near-peer mentor and educator for the neurology clerkship students if they chose. This elective is often selected by those students interested in pursuing future residency training and career in neurology or the neurosciences. This is a 4-week rotation in which the schedule strictly conforms to Stanford School of Medicine period dates. This clerkship requires completion of the Required Neurology Clerkship at Stanford (NENS301A) or an equivalent neurology clerkship from an outside institution. Visiting students wishing to apply for a position in this clerkship experience must receive prior approval from Clerkship Director before submitting an application by sending a curriculum vitae and statement of purpose for review.
