Annotation

Last update: doc. MUDr. Valja Kellerová, DrSc. (16.11.2022)

This course in an extent of 38 hours within 2 weeks includes seminars (14 hours in the range of 7 teaching units of 90 minutes), practical lessons (18 hours, 9 teaching units) and lectures (6 hours, 3 teaching units). Propedeutics and the basics of general neurology are taught. This course is followed by the ERASMUS - Neurobehavioral sciences - Neurology course - CERA5P0085, focused on special neurology and auxiliary examination methods (in the 5th year).

Aim of the course

Last update: doc. MUDr. Valja Kellerová, DrSc. (16.11.2022)

Aim of the course

The student must acquire knowledge of general neurology so that he is able to perform syndromological and topical diagnosis.

The student must be also able to perform a separate neurological assessment of patients including:

history taking, assessment of the quality of consciousness and of the level of consciousness, aphasias, cranial nerve examination, neurological investigation of the central and peripheral motor system, interpretation of the clinical findings, examination of sensation (including deep sensation) with interpretation of findings, topical diagnosis, examination of meningeal signs, examination of the vertebral column and radicular syndromes, examination of cerebellar signs - neo- and paleocerebellar syndromes, examination of  the extrapyramidal signs - Parkinsonian syndrome and dyskinetic (and dystonic) syndrome.

Course completion requirements

Last update: doc. MUDr. Valja Kellerová, DrSc. (16.11.2022)

Requirements for a credit:

For neurology 80% presence during practical training and during obligatory seminars (Clinical seminars with controlled presence), passing bedside practical exam on neurological examination and proving basic knowledge on general neurology (syndromes and topical diagnosis) is required.

Teaching methods

Last update: doc. MUDr. Valja Kellerová, DrSc. (16.11.2022)

Lectures, seminars, internships with examination of patients in smaller groups, with diagnostic analysis with the teacher. Direct integration of students into teaching.

Requirements to the exam

Last update: doc. MUDr. Valja Kellerová, DrSc. (18.11.2022)

Completion of the course is confirmed by credit. Students, whose universities require graded credit, will take an exam in the form of a combination of a written test and an oral examination.

The exam serves only to the grading of the credit. Thus it is called a "classified credit". No equivalent of a real exam of neurology! It is very recommendable to do the exam only after passing  both two courses ERASMUS - Neurologie (NV I.) - CERA4P0070 (for the 4^th year of the  curriculum) and ERASMUS - Neurobehavioral sciences - Neurology course - CERA5P0085 (for the  5^th year of the curriculum). This is possible in the summer semester of the 2022/23 school year, in March and April 2023.
