OCOM 7000 - Neurology
This six-week neurology course concentrates on 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. Cases encourage students 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 featuring neurological examination. Mastery of clinically relevant neuroanatomy is facilitated in lab sessions devoted to brain dissection. Cases also lead students into considerations of the psychosocial management, pharmacological treatment, osteopathic manipulative medicine, surgical interventions and rehabilitation of patients with neurological disorders.
