This elective introduces medical students to diseases of the nervous system amenable to surgical treatment.  The students will participate in outpatient office evaluations, emergency room consultations, hospital-based patient care activities, didactic conferences, and operating room procedures to achieve the course objectives.   Students will present new cases to Attending Neurosurgeons, prepare presentations for academic conferences, participate in clinical research activities, and scrub in the operating room, with assigned activities commensurate with the student’s academic level.  Evaluations are based on achievement of the six course objectives.  Completion of core surgery and neurology clerkships are strongly encouraged.
