Description of Elective Experience

Our neurology service provides extensive neurologic care, including on-site MRI capabilities, neurosurgery, and hospitalization. The externship will provide Katelyn with a comprehensive experience covering surgeries, diagnostics, and both new patient and routine recheck appointments. The service provides consults and care to patients from referring primary care facilities, as well as patients who are admitted through the hospital's emergency service. Care for these patients often involves coordination with the hospital's other specialty departments, most often internal medicine or oncology.
