OCOM 7000 - Neurology
This six-week Neurology course offers students the resources and environment for learning the basic structure and function of the nervous system and the application of this knowledge to clinical cases of headache, altered consciousness, weakness, movement disorders and altered cognition. The cases encourage the student to develop neurological diagnostic skills based on principles of neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, neuropharmacology, neuropathology, infectious disease, and epidemiology. The skills of history taking and physical examination are reinforced in laboratory sessions on the neurology examination. Mastery of clinically relevant neuroanatomy is facilitated in lab sessions devoted to brain dissection. The cases also lead students into considerations of the psychosocial management, pharmacological treatment, OMM, surgery intervention, and rehabilitation of patients with neurological disorders.
