All these venues satisfy the core graduation requirement for Neurology. Responsibilities will differ among the different clerkship venues, but a common core of teaching will be presented to all students. All participating students are be expected to attend the common core of teaching, except for Santa Clara Valley students, where teaching is performed locally. By the end of the clerkship, the students will know how to perform a neurological exam and will have increased practical knowledge of clinical conditions affecting the nervous system. The NBME Subject Exam in Neurology is a required component of the clerkship.
