VISITING: Closed to visitors. TYPE OF CLERKSHIP: Elective. DESCRIPTION: An advanced clerkship designed to actively engage the student in the diagnosis, operative treatment, and post-operative care of patients suffering from a wide variety of neurosurgical problems including tumors of the brain and spine, cerebrovascular abnormalities, infection, trauma, and congenital abnormalities of the central and peripheral nervous system. Students assume a high level of responsibility, essentially functioning at the level of a first-year resident (intern), managing complex, acutely ill patients, scrubbing in on cases in the operating room, and functioning as an accountable team member. Among the responsibilities are: (1) primary work-ups of new patients; (2) writing orders, managing patients in conjunction with a resident or attending, and conducting appropriate intern-level procedures; (3) taking night call; (4) writing notes and dictating summaries as assigned by the supervising resident(s).

VISITING: Open to visitors. TYPE OF CLERKSHIP: Elective. DESCRIPTION: Acquaints students with the diagnosis, operative treatment, and postoperative care of patients suffering injuries to or diseases of the central or peripheral nervous system. Students work closely with faculty and the resident staff at the PAVAMC, evaluating patients in the outpatient clinic and in the hospital. The student participates in diagnostic procedures, observes during surgery, and participates in postoperative care. The PAVAMC rotation involves neither pediatric nor trauma cases. and the amount of acute trauma is minimal. There will be teaching and work rounds, tutorial sessions, and weekly teaching conferences at Stanford University Medical Center, focused on neurosurgery, neurology and neuroradiology. A 4 week full-time clerkship is recommended for students considering neurosurgery as a career. PREREQUISITES: None. PERIODS AVAILABLE: 1-12, full-time for 4 weeks, 1 student per period.

VISITING: Open to visitors. TYPE OF CLERKSHIP: Elective. DESCRIPTION: Neurosurgery at SCVMC offers the student to fully participate in all areas of the service. One third year neurosurgery resident help run the service, which therefore allows greater exposure and time for the student with patients and the neurosurgical faculty. We usually have one or two medical students at a time and the students work closely with all members of the team, including the attending. The student is typically exposed to a wide spectrum of neurosurgical conditions, especially brain and spine trauma, brain tumors, cerebrovascular conditions and degenerative spine disease. During their clerkships, students are very much a member of the team and participate actively on the ward, clinic and OR. All faculty lead research projects at SCVMC and Stanford. Students are welcome to participate in these but most research projects will require longer term commitment beyond the one month clinical clerkship. Other educational activities include weekly neuroscience grand rounds, neuroradiology conference and tumor board. The advanced and diverse pathology seen and the often challenging patient population cared for at SCVMC compliments that experienced at SUMC. We welcome visiting students and early planning for this clerkship is recommended. PREREQUISITES: None. PERIODS AVAILABLE: 1-12, full-time for 4 weeks, 1-2 students per period.
