Outpatient clinic sessions can be scheduled on one or more afternoons or as a full week. There are daily seminars/lectures/formal teaching rounds which the clerk is expected to attend; these include a core curriculum in child neurology, a multicultural ethics curriculum, a neurophysiology curriculum, and a neuropharmacology curriculum. Chief of service rounds, a more academic teaching conference, is held weekly, as are neuroradiology rounds, Longwood Neurology Grand Rounds, and senior resident rounds. Clerks meet weekly for a teaching and coaching session with the clerkship director. A case presentation or talk on a particular topic of interest is expected during the clerkship. The clerk is not required to take night call, but may elect to do so by arrangement with the senior resident to broaden their experience of the field.
