MDR 828: Neurology Subspecialties Elective

Credits 2

Medical students who have completed the MMM Integrated Clerkship may perform a sub-specialty rotation at an array of sub-specialties neurology outpatient clinics. Outpatient rotations include Epilepsy, General Neurology, Neuromuscular, Stroke, Pediatric Neurology, Cognitive Disorders, Neuro-immunology, Movement Disorders, Neuro-Oncology, Sleep disorder, Sports/neurology medicine and Headache. Experience in EMG and Neurophysiology/EEG can be arranged based on director approval and availability.

MDR 849: ACE: Neurology Consultation

Credits 4

Students in their third or fourth year who have successfully completed the neurology clinical clerkship have the option to undertake an elective rotation on the General Neurology inpatient service at Jackson Memorial Hospital, (JMH) University Medical Hospital (UMH), or the Veterans Administration Medical Center.

MDR 850: ACE: Advanced Neurology

Credits 4

Third- or fourth-year students who have completed the Neurology Clerkship may perform an elective rotation on the General Neurology service at Jackson Memorial Hospital, University Medical Hospital, or the Veterans Administration Medical Center with an array of outpatient and inpatient experiences. Outpatient rotations include Epilepsy, General Neurology, Neuro-ICU, Neuromuscular, Stroke, Pediatric Neurology, Cognitive Disorders, Neuro-immunology, Interventional Neuroendovascular, Movement Disorders, Neuro- Oncology, Sleep and Headache. Experience in EMG and Neurophysiology/EEG can be arranged based on director’s approval and availability.

MDR 851: Neurology Sub-I

Credits 4

The Neurology Sub-I on the inpatient neurology stroke service will provide 4th year medical students with the opportunity to serve as competent interns and effective members of an interdisciplinary team. Students will be able to learn and practice clinical skills and enhance their knowledge of clinical neurology and neuroanatomy with a focus on vascular neurology, as well as vascular and general neurology diagnostics and therapeutics. The course will consolidate and expand upon knowledge, attitudes and skills learned in the Neurology clerkship and pertinent electives.

MDR 882: AISS: Neuroscience and Neurology

Credits 4
This Selective shall aim to introduce NextGenMD students to key and specialty areas of clinical neurology while ensuring that the students have a strong foundation in basic cellular, molecular and systems neuroscience needed for deeper understanding of the clinical field. Thus, there will be active review and learning of fundamental neuroscience linked to clinical experiences in the following areas: general neurology, epilepsy, stroke, neurocritical care, movement disorders, neuromuscular, dementia, neuro-oncology, neuro-pediatrics, genetics, interventional endovascular and sleep disorders. The clinical experience will complement the basic neurosciences throughout the Selective. It is envisioned that many Neuroscience pathway students, in addition to those from other pathways, might choose to take this Selective.

MDR 985: CCS: JMH Neuroscience Intensive Care Unit

Credits 2
The Critical Care Selective is mandatory for Phase 3 students who have successfully completed their clerkships. The purpose of this selective is to provide the student a robust and educational introduction to critical care concepts; aligned with their career of choice. This selective is designed to allow students to recognize the early signs of a critically ill patient who would benefit from specialized care and learn the necessary interventions to stabilize a patient during the initial critical phase of their illness. Advanced physiological concepts will be introduced in a critical care setting, building upon concepts taught in Phase 1. Additionally, the neuroscience intensive care unit will introduce students to evaluation of the comatose patient , management of seizures, and intracranial hypertension.
