Description
Please contact Dr. Haatem Reda, hreda@partners.org, for enrollment approval. The Advanced Clinical Elective in Neurology at Massachusetts General Hospital is available to students with prior exposure to Internal Medicine and Neurology. Students will spend two weeks each on the comprehensive consulting service and the vascular/critical care consulting service. The student works closely with a senior resident and an attending neurologist in the evaluation and management of patients with primary neurologic disease, neurologic complications of systemic illness, and cerbrovascular disease. The student will see new patients on the medical services, discuss them with the consult team, and follow their clinical course. In addition, advanced elective students are expected to contribute to discussion during weekly neuropathology conferences. Students are also assigned to 1-2 outpatient clinic sessions with general or subspecialty neurologists, and these clinics can be tailored to the student's interests. As their schedule permits, advanced elective students attend tutorials by our residents and fellows on a variety of neuroimaging and clinical topics in neurology. An observed clinical examination is required during the second half of the rotation that involves direct one-on-one clinical teaching and feedback for the student and an opportunity for the student to assess their clinical skills. This rotation is particularly well-suited to students who wish to explore the discipline of neurology and clinical neuroscience in greater depth.
