DESCRIPTION :
This Area of Concentration is intended to provide the student with the opportunity to study selected areas of clinical and basic Neuroscience in greater detail.

Students may participate in a wide variety of clinical and basic research options in Neuroscience, and may take seminar and tutorial style courses. All area teaching hospitals contribute to the program.

Students choosing Neuroscience as an Area of Concentration will normally take one basic science and one clinical science elective in the first two years and will be encouraged to do summer research in a Neuroscience laboratory. In the third and fourth years, students must take the Clinical Neuroscience Clerkship (required of all medical students) and are encouraged to take an additional elective in Neurosurgery, Pediatric Neurology, or an advanced Neurology clerkship. Two months of research is strongly recommended.

 
 
REQUIREMENTS :  
 
TYPE A ELECTIVES 
5 units of which 2 must come from Group 1 elective (research would account for several units).
