CLE 732

Credit: 2 hours.

Designed to provide an introduction into different subspecialties of neurosurgery. It forms the basis for a strong foundation of knowledge of neurological diseases and how they are managed both surgically and non-surgically. Students will be immersed in day-to-day service, functioning essentially as a supervised intern, while working closely with our cohesive group of mid-level providers and attendings in the inpatient, outpatient and operating room settings. The goal of this neurosurgery elective is designed to familiarize students with the essential elements of neurosurgical evaluation and care so that they are able to provide exceptional frontline management.
