Objectives to direct the training of emergency medicine residents on off-service rotations: neurology.
This is the twenty-first article in a continuing series of objectives to direct resident training in emergency medicine. Presented is a set of objectives with references for curriculum goals in neurology. Knowledge of neurology and clinical skills in diagnosing neurological illness is important in the practice of emergency medicine. Not all emergency residents have adequate exposure to the subspecialty of neurology. Many residents who have exposure to a neurology elective often spend only two weeks on the service. Therefore, a clear set of goals and objectives is essential for the resident to obtain a comprehensive knowledge of this complex specialty.
