Details
Catalog Description: This elective will be offered only to select MS3 or MS4 medical students with plans to pursue either a residency in ophthalmology or neurology. During the rigorous 4-week rotation, students will be in clinic evaluating patients 8-10 half days per week. Students will be expected to work-up new patients at the level of a first year resident and present them to the neuro-ophthalmology attending. After clinic, students should read about diagnoses encountered in clinic. In addition, there will be required reading. Comprehension of the reading will be assessed by scheduled quizzes which will then be reviewed with the student by a faculty member. Interested students will be encouraged to engage in a research project with one of the faculty members although this is not required for the rotation.
Note: Contact the Course Coordinator for any syllabi for previous years.
