NPSY G700 - Psychiatry/Neurology Clerkship
Credits: 9
The Neurology and Psychiatry clerkship is designed to teach students the skills that are required for any competent physician regardless of specialty. The curriculum is integrated over 8 weeks with four weeks of experience in each area with a final week for integration and testing. Additionally, the didactic curriculum will be a combined and blended over the 8 weeks with a large proportion being case based clinical education. The didactic and rotational education will build from the M1 and M2 knowledge of neurosciences. The expectation at the conclusion of the clerkship is that the student will have the ability to obtain an appropriate history, examination, referral and treatment of patients at the level expected of a general medical practitioner.
The Neurology portion of the clerkship will incorporate both inpatient and outpatient experiences including exposure to areas integral to the optimal management of neurological disease such as rehabilitation, palliative care and neurosurgery. The expectation at the conclusion of the clerkship is that the student will have the ability to obtain an appropriate history and examination, localize the lesion and develop a differential diagnosis. The ability to develop an initial evaluation and treatment plan is also emphasized.
The Psychiatry portion of the clerkship will incorporate both inpatient and outpatient experiences including exposure to areas integral to the optimal management of psychiatric diseases as well as potential rotations in Emergency and Consultation services. These rotations will be primarily located at the GMH campus but may also include Harris Psychiatric Hospital, the Brownell Center-Simpsonville, as well as one or more of the community mental health centers. In addition to rotational exposure, students will have experience in AA meetings and electroconvulsive therapy.
