It is also expected that students will demonstrate reasonable effort and work ethic. Operationally, this means that third year students are expected to act responsibly, in a way similar to a house officer. For example, students who need to absent themselves from the clerkship should not only notify their immediate supervisors and the clerkship director, but also arrange for another student to cover. Finally, we do consider attitude in our assignment of grades. There are three levels of grades.
Honors requires high-level performance on both the written and clinical assessments.
Failing grades can be remediated to a pass by re-taking and performing satisfactorily on whatever part of the clerkship that was not completed adequately. These locations are also generally available to non-NU students. Basically for administrative reasons, we strongly prefer students to take their clerkship at one of the three main sites. There are presently several active neurologists at Glenbrook Hospital. The Neurology office is in room B110.
