If the student is unable to locate the neurology team to which they have been assigned, have the neurology resident on call paged. The neurology team consists of an attending physician, neurology and rotating residents, and medical students. Students are assigned inpatients, for which they are responsible. Students are to attend daily rounds, present initial findings and daily developments to the attending physician, and participate in discussions pertaining to diagnostic and therapeutic maneuvers, discharge plans and follow-up programs. The final grade is based on clinical and written exam components, each equally weighted.
Honors is given when both components are rated as honors.
If the student fails the clinical component, repeating the rotation will be required. Failing the written exam will require passing a second written exam. Students are to attend rounds six days per week, with either Saturday or Sunday free. Weekend days should be divided such that one-half of the students attend Saturday and the other half Sunday. Students need to refer to Tutorial Schedule insert in packet for precise afternoon lecture pertaining to their specific rotations.
