Medical Education Program

The Department of Neurology provides third-year medical students at the University of Arizona College of Medicine – Tucson with a four-week basic clinical clerkship of inpatient service and outpatient clinic with emphasis on attaining basic skills in assessing patients with neurologic disease. Rotation sites in Tucson include both campuses of Banner – University Medical Center, Southern Arizona VA Health Care System and Tucson Medical Center.

We also offer several electives to students who wish to pursue a more detailed experience in neurology, some of which involve subspecialty exposure. Students must complete their basic clerkship in neurology (813C) to register for electives. Fourth-year students from programs accredited by the national Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) are welcome to apply as visiting medical students.
