Student Information
BULLETIN- February 10, 2006
The Department of Neurology now has its rosters for the academic year 2006-7. Although we are wiling to consider special cases, students should expect to be held to their lottery selections. Students who must have "audition" rotations at neurology or neurosurgery programs sites will be accommodated whenever possible.
Students with out of town selections (unpaid) should not consider child neurology, neurosurgery, or PM&R alternatives unless they are seeking residencies in these fields. In order to get credit for the rotation, students must have encountered 10 of 12 "Core" patients. This can be done with simulated patients or with patient vignette instruction. Those with assignments within the NCC will be provided the opportunity to do this at all rotation sites. Those rotating elsewhere must depend on the adult neurology staff to provide these experiences. Most sites are unwilling to do this unless the student is rotating on their service.
Students with out of town rotations (unpaid) are advised that they may not be able to get assignments at those hospitals that have paid out of town neurology student slots. The paid slots come first. If there is a conflict, we will not approve the unpaid student.
All changes in assignments and all out of town rotations (unpaid) must be approved by the Neurology Clerkship Director.
