The Department of Neurology is introduced to medical students in the first year that clinical correlation is offered in connection with the neuroanatomy courses. During the clinical modules, clinical neurology electives allow students to participate in the management of inpatients and outpatients on the neurological service and in the educational conferences that are part of the neurology department. Conferences include pediatric neurology, neuropathology, and neuroradiology. Students obtain some familiarity with interpretation of electroencephalograms and electromyograms and supervised experience in the evaluation of patients with neurological problems seen in consultation. Students are accepted into these electives only after at least one previous clinical module.
