OCOM 707 - Neurology
The neurology course focuses on the basic structure and function of the nervous system and the application of this knowledge to clinical cases of headache, altered consciousness, weakness, movement disorders and altered cognition. Cases encourage students to develop neurological diagnostic skills based on principles of neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, neuropharmacology, neuropathology, infectious disease and epidemiology. History taking and physical examination skills are reinforced in laboratory sessions on neurology examination. Mastery of clinically relevant neuroanatomy is facilitated in lab sessions devoted to brain dissection. Cases lead students to considerations of psychosocial management, pharmacological treatment, osteopathic manipulative medicine, surgical interventions and rehabilitation of patients with neurological disorders.
