This elective is available to medical students and residents. Interested individuals should contact John Absher. The elective requires extensive reading in Dementia and Behavioral Neurology, and active participation in the Alzheimer's Disease and Memory Disorders Clinic and the Neurobehavior Clinic . All rotators are expected to learn the Neurobehavioral examination .
Research is encouraged.
Additional clinical opportunities can be pursued, depending upon the student's interests, to add variety and depth to the elective. This may have been educational for some of them. For example, Andrew Barreto , a Wake Forest student, worked with me for almost three years. Many teaching tools have been developed to look at the brain. My recent work in this area involves the creation of surface renderings as a way to teach anatomical landmarks.
