educational resources and textbooks
- The Neurology Clerkship webpage in LUMEN (see www.meddean.luc.edu/lumen/) contains several resources. Under CAI Modules is the Practical Neurology DVD Review by Dr. Biller, which contains the patient videotapes listed in Study Guides 1 and 2. A selection of these patients will constitute the Patient Case Vignette Video Exam, taken at the end of the clerkship. The “Radiology Curriculum” under CAI Modules contains self-study CT and MRI images of normal neuroanatomy as well as neurological disorders.
This Neurology Clerkship website in LUMEN also contains Powerpoint slides for the lectures on Neurodiagnostic Testing and Neurological Emergencies. Reading material and a videotaped demonstration of Lumbar Puncture is also available. “Literature Article Refs” include basic articles on stroke, end-of-life and nutritional issues pertaining to Neurology. Most of this Handbook is also available under the “Information” section.
- The Castro textbook from the second-year Neuroscience Course is a good review for neuroanatomy, neurophysiology and neuropathology:
Castro AJ, Merchut MP, Neafsey EJ, Wurster RD. Neuroscience: An Outline Approach. Mosby: St. Louis, MO, 2002.
- A recommended textbook for the Neurology Clerkship is (your choice) either:
Drislane FW, Benatar M, Chang BS, et al. Blueprints Neurology. 2 nd ed. Lippincott Williams & Wilkins: Philadelphia, 2006.
Aminoff MJ, Simon RP, Greenberg DA. Clinical Neurology. 6 th ed. Lange Medical Books: 2005.
Previous students on this clerkship have preferred different textbooks. Use one that “reads well” for your purposes, and that discusses the common neurological conditions, syndromes or disease listed under Neurology Clerkship Learning Objectives.
