Student Electives
Medical students, students in the physician's assistant program, as well as pharmacy students may rotate on the neurology service.
Medical students at the University of Utah School of Medicine have a scheduled one month rotation in neurology, whereby two weeks are spent on the in-patient service, which includes our neuro-intensive care service. In addition, two weeks are spent in both general neurology and subspecialty clinics.
Medical students outside the University of Utah are welcome to participate in this same schedule, which commences on the first day of each month. For those students interested in participating in electives beyond the one month general neurology elective, an elective may be individualized by identifying a neurology attending as a preceptor.
Goals and objectives should be submitted one month prior to the scheduled elective to the neurology preceptor, whereby they will be reviewed. Students may choose to participate in an elective in any of the following areas:
General Neurology
Neuro-Critical Care Medicine (neuro-intensive care unit clinical work)
Independent Research
Neuro-Immunology
Stroke
Epilepsy/EEG
Neuromuscular/EMG
Neuro-Genetics
Pediatric Neurology
Neuro-Ophthalmology
