This booklet is intended to acquaint you with the activities and interests of our Department and to share with you our commitment to patients, residents, students and staff. Neuroscience is one of the most exciting specialities in modern medicine, as one out of three hospital admissions has either a primary neurological cause or a secondary neurological complication. At MCP Hahnemann University Hospitals, there is a strong commitment to classical neurological training. The residents meet with me every morning for a hour to discuss the previous day's patients. Attending physicians make daily rounds, conduct teaching conferences and are accessible for patient-care questions.
Most patient care is provided under the direct supervision of attending physicians.
Junior residents are provided with adequate back-up from the chief resident and attending staff. The Department is divided into subsections, each of which has a strong basic science base. Residents are invited to participate in all of our laboratory and clinical trial activity. You are invited to visit us at MCP Hahnemann University Hospitals, take a tour and talk to our faculty and residents. We hope that you will take the opportunity to evaluate our program firsthand.
