Closed to visitors. The Neurology Core Clerkship is designed to train students in the systematic and logical approach to a wide variety of clinical neurology via the comprehension and application of the neurologic history and physical exam in the evaluation and management of neurological diseases. Students are assigned to the following locations for training: Stanford Hospital neurology inpatient wards; Stanford Hospital neurology outpatient clinic; Stanford Hospital Neurology Intensive Care Unit; Stanford Neurosurgery Service; Santa Clara Valley Medical Center neurology inpatient consultation and clinic service; the Palo Alto Veterans Administration ward/ consultation/ clinic neurologic services; Lucile Packard Children's Hospital neurology consultation and clinics. All these venues satisfy the core graduation requirement for the Required Neurology Clerkship. Responsibilities differ among the different clerkship venues, but a common core of teaching and exposure to a variety of neurologic patient encounters and experiences will be presented to all students. Regardless of site location, students are expected to attend the core didactics of the clerkship that take place once weekly on Stanford Hospital campus. By the end of the clerkship, the students will know how to fully evaluate patients (with the neurologic history and competent neurological examination) and will have increased practical knowledge of clinical conditions affecting the nervous system. 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. Prereq: None.
