Pediatric Neurology

During this elective, third-year students gain exposure to pediatric patients with epilepsy, headaches, static encephalopathy, tic disorders, and neuromuscular disease. Although primarily an ambulatory rotation, there is potential for inpatient exposure. The process includes participation in history taking and physical examination, focusing on the neurological examination, as well as exposure to neurological procedures, including lumbar puncture, electroencephalography, video electroencephalography, and electromyography/nerve conduction studies.
