Neurology (M35)  (Dept. Info)Medicine  (Policies)YR2024
M35 Neurol 860Pediatric Neurology (Clinical Elective)0.0 Unit
Description:The Phase III elective experience in child neurology is designed to adapt to the individual goals and objectives of students. The elective takes place in one or two 2-week blocks that occur among five possible venues as chosen by the student after discussion with the course director:
1. Outpatient clinics,
2. Inpatient ward service,
3. Inpatient general consult service,
4. NICU consult service, and
5. Video EEG (VEEG) monitoring service.
The combination of services and experiences will be arranged directly between the student and the Course Director prior to beginning the rotation.

In the outpatient clinics, students will rotate between a variety of subspecialty clinics and work with a variety of attendings in order to experience the breadth of outpatient pediatric neurology. Students rotating on the inpatient ward service will work closely with the pediatric neurology resident to develop neurology-specific care plans and will function above a clerkship level. No call or weekend duties will be expected on this rotation. On the general consult services, students will work with the consult attending and pediatric neurology residents on that team to see consults in the PICU, CICU, ER, and other hospital floors. The NICU consult team focuses on infants in the NICU. Student rotating on the VEEG monitoring service will focus on learning the indications and uses of VEEG and basic EEG reading skills.

Student time distribution: Conferences/Lectures 10%; Inpatient or Outpatient 90%, depending upon student selection
Patients seen weekly:
Outpatient Service: 20-25
Inpatient Service: 15-20

Students on the wait list or with scheduling conflicts/issues should immediately contact the course director to discuss possible solutions and alternative plans.

Home/Ident

A course may be either a “Home” course or an “Ident” course.

A “Home” course is a course that is created, maintained and “owned” by one academic department (aka the “Home” department). The “Home” department is primarily responsible for the decision making and logistical support for the course and instructor.

An “Ident” course is the exact same course as the “Home” (i.e. same instructor, same class time, etc), but is simply being offered to students through another department for purposes of registering under a different department and course number.

Students should, whenever possible, register for their courses under the department number toward which they intend to count the course. For example, an AFAS major should register for the course "Africa: Peoples and Cultures" under its Ident number, L90 306B, whereas an Anthropology major should register for the same course under its Home number, L48 306B.
