| Objective Objectives/Desired Results: |
The course material aims to introduce students to the scientific field of Neurology.
In this sense, the course is the basis on which the student will acquire fundamental knowledge on the clinical symptomatology of neurological diseases, the neurological examination, the etiology and the therapeutics of neurology.
Finally, the aim of the course is for students to understand the importance of neurology in routine medical clinical practice and its emergence as an independent medical specialty.
Upon successful completion of the course, the student will be able to:
- He has an understanding of the semiology and symptomatology of the various pathways of the nervous system
- He can perform a satisfactory clinical neurological examination to locate the site of damage to the nervous system
- He has knowledge of the clinical symptomatology, etiology and treatment of various neurological diseases
- Is able to distinguish between neurological symptoms using the appropriate neurological differential diagnosis
- It uses the neurological paraclinical control in order to reach the diagnosis
- Can collaborate with fellow students to research and analyze international literature.
