CLE 733

Credit: 4 hours.

Designed to provide an in-depth experience into different subspecialties of neurosurgery. It builds on the the foundation of knowledge of neurological diseases and how they are managed both surgically and non-surgically from CLE 732. 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. Students will be responsible for composing an oral presentation on a patient encountered during their elective and research assignment assigned by faculty of neurosurgery.

4 professional hours. Approved for S/U grading only. Available for honors grades. Prerequisite: CLE 732: Neurosurgery I. Restricted to students enrolled in the MD program at Carle Illinois College of Medicine who are in Phase 2 or 3 of the curriculum.
