The Neurology Clerkship Director, Education Committee, Department Chair, and Neurology Residents evaluate the performance of all graduating medical students in the clinical neurology clerkship and choose one student as the recipient. The award winner must have outstanding evaluations and recommendations from faculty and residents and show the most promise for a career in neurology. Excellent performance on the neurology shelf exam or equivalent examination can be utilized as supporting criteria if available. If more than one student fulfills these criteria, the student who shows the most promise for a career in neurology will be nominated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
