OCOM 707 - Medical Knowledge: Neurology
The neurology course offers students the resources and environment for learning the basic structure and function of the nervous system and applying this knowledge to clinical cases of headache, altered consciousness, weakness, movement disorders and altered cognition. The 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 on neurology examination. Mastery of clinically relevant neuroanatomy is facilitated in lab sessions devoted to brain dissection. The cases also lead students to considerations of psychosocial management, pharmacological treatment, OMM, surgical intervention, and rehabilitation of patients with neurological disorders.
