Teaching Material for this Module
Introduction
The neurology course aims to build on the pre-clinical and clinical science, and clinical skills, taught within the brain and behaviour modules of the first and second years, to equip students with knowledge regarding common neurological and neurosurgical conditions and the ability to perform a neurological examination. The level of competence should be equivalent to that of a newly qualified FY1 doctor. The course should also provide enough exposure to the specialties of neurology and neurosurgery to inform students about career choice.
