Students participate directly in the care of patients on the neurology services and out-patient clinics at Columbia University Medical Center and Harlem Hospital Center.  Additional learning experiences include general and subspecialty conferences, daily preceptor rounds, weekly didactic sessions in clinical problem-solving, neuroradiology seminars, supervised neurological examinations and the educational resources of the Department of Neurology. Feedback is provided to students at the mid-point of the clerkship. Evaluation is based on all aspects of clinical performance, oral presentations, patient write-ups, a neurology portfolio assignment, and the NBME clerkship shelf exam.
