Neurology Clerkship Manual

This manual contains the hard-core of the basic information required by the neurology clerkship. Medical students have to incorporate this information during the fourth year when they are overwhelmed by the rigorousness of the last year of medical school study already overstrained by grades, matching program, graduation preparedness and future residency plans.

There must be a way to make this information interesting and easy to assimilate. We have been educating medical students successfully in the Texas Tech Neurology Clerkship for 30 years. These lectures include several original ideas and analogies that make complex subjects very easy to understand and to remember. This manual provides the student the master key concepts of all aspects of clinical neurology.

Notwithstanding, the conceptual framework outlines the steps in the diagnostic workup as described by expert clinicians. We hope these lectures will continue to serve medical students as well as physicians and even non-physicians individuals interested in the nervous system. We are sure this manual will sale well among medical students and physicians in general, not only from Texas Tech but also from other medical schools.
