Ability to communicate with the course supervisor via email

The course aims to introduce students to the scientific field of Neurology.

On this grounds, the course is the basis on which the student will acquire basic knowledge on the clinical symptoms of neurological diseases, neurological examination, etiology and treatment of neurologic diseases. .

Finally, the aim of the course is for students to understand the importance in routine medical clinical practice in neurology and its emergence as an independent medical specialty.

Upon successful completion of the course the student will be able to:

• Understand and recognizes the signs and symptoms of the various pathways of the nervous system
• Perform a satisfactory clinical neurological examination to locate the site of damage to the nervous system
• Have adequate knowledge of clinical symptoms, etiology and treatment of various neurologic diseases
• Use the appropriate neurological differential diagnosis
• Use the neurological outpatient examination to reach a diagnosis

Collaborate with his fellow students to research and analyze the international literature.
