The overall goal of the clerkship is to teach students the principles and skills underlying the recognition and management of the neurologic diseases a general medical practitioner is most likely to encounter in practice. Thus, at the conclusion of the clerkship, students should be able to:

1. Perform a thorough and reliable neurologic examination (IO-7)
2. Identify the most likely site (or sites) of dysfunction in the nervous system to explain a patient’s symptoms and signs (i.e., “localize the lesion”) (IO-3, 7, 8)
3. Evaluate commonly encountered neurologic conditions and initiate management (IO-3, 4, 5)
