Year I Neuroscience
Medical Physiology 601 (PDF)
Medical Neuroscience 606

Year III Neuroscience Selectives (PDF)
The 3 week neuroscience rotations are designed to build competence and proficiency in the technique of medical/neurological history and physical examinations, especially emphasizing the integration of these skills in assessment of neurologic function. The students can select either a MUH in-patient service, Pediatric neurology, MUH Consultation or MUH Neurosurgical services. Instructional methods include inpatient evaluation, conferences, and/or active participation in ambulatory outpatient clinics.

Year IV Neuroscience Clinical Electives and Externships (PDF)
The Department of Neurology offers a diverse array of opportunities for the 4th year student to further his/her interest in Neuroscience subspecialties. These clerkships are a valuable opportunity for both visiting students and MUSC 4th year students who may be exploring Neurology/Neurosurgery, or Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation as a career. These clerkships allow more active participation in the evaluation and care of patients with neurologic disorders. Examples of one-month clerkships include Neuro-Intensive Care, Clinical Epilepsy, Stroke, Behavioral Neurology, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation as well as rotations on the Pediatric Neurology, Adult Neurology, or Neurosurgical services (Pediatric, Adult, Spine).

Other Neurology subspecialties are available if interested, and are arranged by contacting Olivia Burch at 843-792-3222.

Student Interest Group in Neurology
Also, the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) sponsors SIGN (Student Interest Group in Neurology) at MUSC, which provides a way for students to:

• Learn about diverse practice opportunities in Neurology, and its subspecialties such as neuro-intensive care, neuro-opthamology, stroke, behavioral neurology, neurogenetics, or epilepsy research.
• Obtain free student membership in the American Academy of Neurology.
• Be matched with a neurologist as a preceptor or mentor.
• Compete for summer research scholarships sponsored by the AAN.
