This course exposes the student to a wide spectrum of neurologic problems affecting children from the neonate to young adult. The student will see and examine patients with epilepsy, cerebral palsy, chronic headaches, and tic disorder as well as neurometabolic disease and developmental disorders. Patients are seen in a subspecialty referral clinic, as inpatient consultations, and through specialty clinics in the CDRC and Shriner’s Hospital. Students will also be exposed to weekly pediatric neuroradiology and EEG sessions. Weekly didactic teaching sessions will supplement a suggested reading assignment.
SPECIAL NOTE
This pediatric neurology elective doesn't offer any opportunities for call. If call is a required component of a student's Neuro requirement, then this course will not fulfill that requirement.
