Clinical Neuroscience Elective

The clinical neuroscience elective is administratively managed by Neurology. During this elective, students will expand their clinical knowledge of neuroanatomical principles discussed during the M1 curriculum and learn how medical problems that affect the nervous system are diagnosed and treated. Students will be assigned to clinics and hospital services at UMMC. They will have a choice of NSICU, general service, neurosurgery, or stroke service. They can choose either one or two of these options during their two week elective. Emphasis will be placed on the neurologic history and clinical examination in patients with acute and chronic neurological diseases.
