MEDICINE CLERKSHIP
The next 8 weeks will form the cornerstone for much of your medical career, regardless of what specialty you ultimately choose. The emphasis of this clerkship is on acquisition of knowledge, skills, attitudes & behaviors that form the core of internal medicine & are essential for the education of all physicians.

In many hospitals, neurology is the most consulted specialty. This is not only the result of the frequency of neurological disorders but also the discomfort many physicians feel when dealing with disorders of the nervous system. The complexity of the nervous system is less overwhelming if approached in a logical sequence.
