MDR 882: AISS: Neuroscience and Neurology

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.
