Neurology (M35)  (Dept. Info)Medicine  (Policies)YR2024
M35 Neurol 910Neurology Advanced Clinical Rotation (ACR)4.0 Units
Description:The Neurology Advanced Clinical Rotation (ACR) is a 4-week education experience for Phase III Gateway Medical Students offering graduated supervised responsibility for patient care in adult or pediatric Neurology. ACR Students can select a rotation on one of the following services:
  • Inpatient General Adult Neurology (at Barnes-Jewish Hospital)
  • Adult Stroke Neurology (at Barnes-Jewish Hospital)
  • Inpatient General Pediatric Neurology (at St. Louis Children's Hospital)

The ACR student will gain exposure to a wide variety of adult or pediatric neurologically affected patients. They will evaluate and treat patients with acute neurological disorders as well as those with acute/subacute presentations of chronic neurological disorders. The Neurology ACR rotation will give students increased exposure and autonomy in the care of Neurology patients and further increase their knowledge and experience in Neurological disorders.

Under the supervision of a senior resident, chief resident and attending physician, the student will have supervised responsibility for their patients. The ACR student will perform a complete history and neurological examination on their new and follow-up patients and will independently establish a differential diagnosis and plan for their patients. When possible, they will have the opportunity to write orders and write admission notes, daily progress notes and discharge summaries. The ACR student will carry a sufficient number of patients to ensure adequate learning and experience. The number of patients assigned to the ACR student is determined by the complexity of the case, the clinical skills of the student and the total number of patients on the service.

Students will typically spend all 4 weeks on one of the above services, exceptions to spend time on two different services (2 weeks on each) will be considered on a case-by-case basis by the ACR director.

The ACR student will also attend departmental rounds and clinical conferences.

Student time distribution: Inpatient 100%
Patients seen weekly: 8-12
On-call/weekend responsibility: Once per week

Students on the wait list or with scheduling conflicts/issues should 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.
