Description
Medical students will perform a specialty rotation in Neuroradiology that encompasses the multiple different imaging modalities and procedures integral to brain and spine imaging. The primary objective is to have the student finish the rotation with a solid foundation in neuroimaging and its clinical correlates as well as a good understanding of radiology as a career choice. Students not interested in a radiology career but who are interested in associated neurological specialties and desire a solid exposure to neuroimaging are also welcome to apply. The student is expected to participate in the daily work including designation of appropriate study protocols, review of selected studies, and development of a differential diagnosis list. Course evaluation will be based on daily participation, a computer based written examination, and an optional oral presentation.
