Didactic teaching

Didactic lectures and patient management discussions are held year-round. The course integrates core neuroscience principles with clinical neurology, following the American Academy of Neurology core curriculum. Neuroanatomy and neurophysiology are empasized, but the course also includes neuropathology, neuropharmacology and neuroradiology. Clinical faculty conducts lectures on neurological emergencies, stroke, headache, neuromuscular disorders, neuroimmunology, movement disorders, dementia, epilepsy and sleep. These faculty lectures emphasize clinical evaluation and assessment tools, localization and pathophysiology.
