The course is structured over two weeks, focusing on neurological disorders and their relevance in modern medicine.

Week 1: Neurological Disorders Overview (Example)

• Introduction to neurological diseases and their classifications (central vs peripheral).
• Study of headaches: Migraine, Cluster, and Tension headaches.
• Anatomy and physiology of the circulatory system related to strokes (Ischemic vs Haemorrhagic strokes).
• Cognitive function and mental status exams: Alzheimer's Dementia and Glasgow Coma Scale.

Week 2: Advanced Neurological Topics (Example)

• Classifying seizure types: Epilepsy and other seizure disorders.
• Brain death: Roles of different brain areas and the process of brain death.
• End-of-life care: Advanced directives, DNAR forms, hospice vs palliative care.

Note: This is an example structure. The actual content may vary based on the tutor’s expertise and student preferences. Students will have the opportunity to discuss their learning goals with admissions to tailor the course.

By the end of the course, students may:

• Gain a solid understanding of neurological disorders and their impact on healthcare.
• Learn how to classify headaches, strokes, and epilepsy through case studies.
• Develop diagnostic and clinical skills through simulated patient encounters.
• Build a foundational understanding of ethical issues in end-of-life care and brain death.

Note: Learning objectives may vary based on student interests, which will be discussed during the admissions process.

Students are encouraged to do pre-course preparation to maximise their learning. Suggested resources include:

Readings/Watch:

• Neuroscience is Rewarding: Medical Student Education
• Neuroscience is Cool: K-12 Neuroscience Education
• EAN 2022 ‘Why Neurology?’ Essay Contest Winners
• A Day in the Life of a Medical Student - EAN Pages
• Becoming a Neurologist

Note: These are example resources. Specific materials may vary depending on tutor and student preferences. Students will be informed of the required materials in advance to allow enough time to prepare.

This course provides an excellent foundation for further studies in medicine, neurology, or healthcare. You will develop essential diagnostic and clinical skills, which are valuable for careers in medicine, healthcare administration, or neurology.

You are not required to have advanced knowledge of medicine but should have a general interest in healthcare. You are expected to:

• Actively participate in seminars and tutorials.
• Complete independent research and assignments.
• Engage in simulated patient interviews and clinical assessments.

The course is designed to be interactive and challenging, helping students explore medical science through real-world case studies.

Note: The level of participation and engagement can be adapted to suit individual needs and preferences.
