Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives:

1. Evaluates normal neurological examination methods and findings.
2. Recognizes and evaluates neurological symptoms.
3. Learns the approach to the neurological patient.
4. Recognizes common neurological diseases in society and knows treatment approaches.
5. Obtain sufficient information about patient follow-up and maintenance.
6. Gain sufficient knowledge about neurological emergencies.
7. Knows which neurological diseases can be treated and which ones to refer to higher institutions.
8. Gain knowledge about the treatment and follow-up of diseases such as dementia, cerebrovascular disease, headache and epilepsy, which are common in society.

Course Content:

The purpose of this course is to gain the necessary skills and knowledge on the clinical anatomy of the nervous system, skeleton, articulations and bones. Disease mechanisms and histopathological considerations in these systems are discussed in details in pathophysiology and pathology courses. Diagnostic information on cerebrospinal fluid and the neurotransmitter systems in the central nervous system including the functions of neurotransmitters are discussed. Genetic diagnose of neurological diseases are given. Mental disorders and examination of the psychiatric patient summarized in general. Principles of examination and approach to the patients with musculoskeletal problems and their special treatment methods are summarized also. Special issues of internal medicine related with neurology, orthopedics, physical medicine and the psychiatry are discussed. Approach to the child patient and their special treatment differences are given. They gain clinical skills before entering the clinic rotations by performing examinations and procedures with simulated patient in the simulation center
