Neurology concerns itself with the diseases of brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves and muscles. An introduction to the anatomy and physiology of the nervous system is presented in the first-year neuroscience course by the Department of Anatomy and Neurobiology, with participation of faculty from the Department of Neurology. A first-year selective titled Clinical Correlations in Neuroscience is available, which is an opportunity for interested students to shadow physicians in neuro-related fields and attend basic science or clinical conferences. In the second year, the Department of Neurology presents the course in Diseases of the Nervous System in conjunction with the Departments of Pathology, Neurosurgery and Ophthalmology. The course emphasizes the pathophysiology, pathology, clinical manifestations and treatment of the major neurological and neurosurgical diseases. The department also participates in the Practice of Medicine course, providing lectures, demonstrations and teaching exercises with patients in neurological physical diagnosis.
In the third year, a four-week clerkship in Neurology introduces students to the clinical care of patients with diseases of the nervous system. Questions pertaining to neurosurgical treatment, neurorehabilitation and ethical issues in management also are addressed. In the fourth year, opportunities exist for many varieties of advanced clinical or research experience. A four-year residency program prepares medical graduates for specialization in neurology. Subspecialty fellowship programs routinely provide additional training in epilepsy, electrophysiology, EMG, sleep medicine, cerebrovascular disease and stroke, neuroimmunology, neurological critical care, neuromuscular disease, neuropsychology and movement disorders.
Three divisions exist within the Department of Neurology: the Division of Adult Neurology, the Division of Pediatric and Developmental Neurology and the Division of Neuropsychology.
