Neuro Elective

[mangmang]

Hi anyone has any advice for a neuro elective for a fourth year, i would like to do the elective in a center that allowes you to work with a Neurology fellow or resident.
Thank You

well that'll be pretty difficult because Neuro programs are usually only university programs. all the hospitals we rotate at are community programs.

seton hall residency based at JFK in edison
mount sinai residents rotate through elmhirst
st vincent residents rotate through maimo
downstate residents rotate though LICH

i'm sure there is something mentioned here

Affiliated Hospitals - School of Medicine - St. George’s University (http://www.sgu.edu/website/sguwebsite.nsf/som/affiliated-hospitals.html)

The Neuro rotation at Brooklyn Hospital is pretty hard core. They don't have a residency program, so no residents which is kinda nice coz you work directly with the attending. They have PA's, though, who are excellent and love to teach.

Elmhurst also offers Neuro, but I don't have details about that one.

LICH has its own attendings & Downstate residents who are all PGY3+, and sometimes a neurophys fellow. A lot of people treat it as a blowoff rotation because you have the freedom to make what you want of it i.e. learn a lot if you follow the clinic/assignment, present at rounds & take an interest, or you can choose to disappear after rounds.
For me, the coolest thing about doing Neuro at LICH was the chance to watch interventional coz they have their own interventionalist on faculty.
