THE LEO M. DAVIDOFF
DEPARTMENT OF NEUROLOGICAL SURGERY
X504 Subinternship
in Neurosurgery at MMC (Moses Division) |
The subinternship
in Neurological Surgery is available to all students who wish an introduction
to clinical neurosurgery and participate in the care of patients with
neurological diseases requiring surgery. He/She will be closely associated
with the Neurosurgical resident staff and join them on ward rounds and
in all their activities. The evaluation of patients will emphasize the
neurological history and examination. The student will have an opportunity
to observe or assist in the diagnostic neuroradiologic procedures, bedside
diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, and in the operating room. He will
be active participant in the conferences of the Department at Montefiore
Medical Center (Moses Division), Beth Israel Medical Center (Singer
Division). Case studies and presentations to a member
of the faculty will be made twice a week. It is expected that a "mini-presentation"
will be prepared on a subject of interest to the student prior to the
end of the module. Many videotapes of operative procedures are available
in the Department so that the student can study neurosurgical operative
technique and appreciate the appearance of tumors, aneurysms, etc. without
the need for long periods of time in the operating room. A departmental library is available for the student's use and a suggested reading list
will be provided. The subinternship is particularly designed for those
with a serious interest in pursuing further study in Neurological Surgery,
Neurology, or for those with career goals in other fields of medicine
who would like to gain a more intimate appreciation of Neurological Surgery.
