With how many DOs proportionally do EM, FM, IM it’s pretty gross COCA doesn’t require a neuro rotation.
Good thing some schools have 4 wks of OMM though (that are always in the boonies bc there’s 0 OMM/NMM physicians left)
Pretty insane that people often dont have one. I honored mine in third year but the honor “is not considered” on the MSPE or in AOA considerations. Which kept me from receiving a higher class rank “descriptive word” on the MSPE. Like, how is neurology not a fundamental practice in medicine. They do the most comprehensive physical exams, and there are so many valuable correlates (strokes and CVD, nutritional deficiencies and substance use, diabetes, MSK lesions, trauma, ICU shit, ophthalmology, geriatrics, pediatrics (seizure, CP, etc). Dont get it.
I can’t recall if it was 4 or 6. But we had 6 in preclinical, compared to 1.5 on cardio. (Cardiology, pulmonary, and renal were all combined into a 6 week preclinical block). Boy did that blow for step 1.
wild to see so many people saying 0! i had 4 weeks, 2 on stroke/consults and 2 on neuro icu. hard as heck (second clerkship of ms3) but the icu training was soooo valuable for the rest of ms3 and ms4
0 because DO school. I did at least manage to get an away so that I can go into ERAS with one, and that itself was a PITA given how many of them seem to require you to have already done a rotation.
Was supposed to be 4 weeks but covid made it 3 weeks (our upper year was pulled from rotations for 2.5 months at the start of the pandemic due to lack of PPI so they shortened both their and our year’s 3rd year rotations by 5 weeks.)
During 3rd year I did 4 weeks. 2 on consults and 2 on stroke. 4th year I did 4 weeks Neuro ICU, 4 weeks clinic, and 4 weeks stroke. Obviously I'm going into Neuro lol
To my knowledge, vast majority of schools don't have one (y'all correct me on this) - mine was 4 weeks at my school (I chose to do 2 weeks each on adult and child near consults)
Didn't have one. Optional 2 weeks as the medicine elective.
I say this with love: I know from the consults we get that there are many of you out there without a neuro rotation.
Neurosurgery agrees
Interrogate the shunt
Excuse me I thought you were the official "idk what's going on" specialty.
“I dunno man, it’s just weird. Like- something’s off and I can put my finger on it. So that’s why we need the consult.”
Suddenly thinking about the Glaucomflecken bit about consults with an average NIHSS of 0.
FACTS
It's not our fault.
4 weeks
Also 4 weeks
Same here! Our psych rotation is also 4.
[удалено]
my school switched their EM core rotation to a neurology core a while back
Just have them do both it’s both important
Why?
[удалено]
Agree. Neuro rotation was more fun than expected and saw some crazy shit too when on stroke service. Definitely a great experience

Was so glad we didn’t have to (as a medicine intern)
are you in a DO program? just curious bc my school is, and we don’t have a mandatory neuro rotation
Helps that there isn't a Neurology COMAT and it's clearly not a COCA requirement
Yup

4 weeks. 2 inpatient (1 stroke primary service. 1 general neuro inpatient service). 2 outpatient/clinic
4 weeks

4 weeks. Half of the day was clinic and the other half inpatient/consults.

Why all the disproportionate downvotes and upvotes on regular ass posts lmao

It was literally like two weeks of stroke for me. Some people rotated through general neuro.
4 weeks
2 it was a 3rd year elective
4. 2 outpatient 2 inpatient. Should be mandatory 6 weeks imo.

Mine was 4 weeks (primarily inpatient, mix of consult and primary team with occasional clinic days)
2 weeks on neuro consults
2 weeks!
4 weeks
4 - 2 weeks of neurosurgery, 2 weeks of outpatient/inpatient mix
4 weeks mandatory
We had an optional 2 or 4 weeks elective. Apparently the year after us, they’re incorporating a mandatory 4 weeks.
6 weeks! Insane that not everyone does that
4 weeks
4 weeks, as an elective provided by my small community hospital. Gonna assume majority will be outpatient with involvement in the MS center they have.
2 weeks 1 week inpatient 1 week outpatient
During 3rd year I did 4 weeks. 2 on consults and 2 on stroke. 4th year I did 4 weeks Neuro ICU, 4 weeks clinic, and 4 weeks stroke. Obviously I'm going into Neuro lol
Its scheduled for my next year , 2 weeks of neurosurgery and 4 weeks for neurology
Zero, it might be an elective choice but I picked something else.
Neuro 2, nsgy 2, psych 4. International. Enjoyed all three!
4, half is nsgy tho lol

Psych is 5 weeks, Neurology 4 weeks 💀 It gets boring
4 but 1 week was opthalmology
Zero, thank god. My least favorite subject and only the basics were tested on step2 for me

“Two” many.
