A two week long clinical rotation which will include:
1. Participation in receiving outpatients
2. Participation in diagnosis, treatment/care and discharge of hospitalized patients
3. Participation in all aspects of in-hospital patient consultations
4. Students should anticipate having independent library-research projects for subsequent small group discussion.
5. Students will be expected to participate in all aspects of weekend duty which is typically (but not necessarily) 8:00 am to Noon each Saturday and Sunday.
Primary emphasis will be placed on the student learning to perform and interpret the results of the neurologic examination. Reviewing the description of the examination procedures in any standard veterinary neurology textbook will be extremely valuable. The course will provide opportunity for the student to become familiar with various diagnostic methods. The student will be expected to have reviewed and know the contents of classroom notes.
Faculty method of evaluation: Students will be judged on their knowledge, commitment, contribution and accomplishment.
