[vc_row][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text css=””]The Department of Neurology offers four-week elective rotations to visiting medical students applying for residency in Neurology. The electives provide additional experience in neurology during the senior year on the neurology inpatient service or neurology consultation service. Students work closely with residents and attendings during these electives. Availability is limited, dependent upon the number of University of Texas at San Antonio, UT San Antonio students taking the electives during a given period.<\/p>\n

If you are a senior medical student pursuing a residency in Neurology, please apply through the VSAS SYSTEM <\/strong>(https:\/\/www.aamc.org\/students\/medstudents\/vsas\/<\/a>).<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

NEUR 4029: <\/strong>Advanced Neurology Consultation Service. 4 Credit Hours.
\nStudents are required to perform neurological consultations either at University Hospital or Audie L. Murphy VA Hospital. One student will be assigned to each hospital service. This is an advanced elective, and the student will see patients independently initially, before evaluation of the patient with their attending and residents. Attending rounds with the staff neurologist will be made daily, Monday-Friday. Students are required to perform appropriately focused history and physical exams, prepare written and verbal presentations, interpret laboratory data and develop a differential diagnosis and management plans on all assigned patients. Students will also attend neurology morning report, neuropathology conference, neuroradiology conference, and grand rounds. The student may participate in specialty clinics as assigned. The clinic exposure is designed to advance the knowledge and experience introduced in the Neurology Clerkship in specialty areas of neurology as directed by the students’ interest and as availability allows. Both the inpatient consultation service and the specialty clinics provide an understanding of advanced experience in the application of systems of care and the coordination of a variety of care systems toward the optimal benefit of the patient.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

NEUR 4030:<\/strong> Advanced Neurology Subinternship. 4 Credit Hours.
\nThe student will function as a sub-intern under the direct supervision of the Neurology resident. Considerable responsibility in the management of neurologic patients above the level of the core clerkship is provided on the inpatient ward services at the University Hospital or Audie L. Murphy VA Hospital. The student will participate in the evaluation of patients in the Emergency Department who are being considered for admission to the Neurology Ward service. The student will participate in calls and work at least one weekend day each weekend as allowed by the call schedule.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”panel single-border single-border-top”]<\/p>\n
