Neurology training at a university hospital in Istanbul
Programme Overview

See how neurologists reason through complex cases

From neuroanatomy to clinical decision-making, through real patients.

Neurology deals with disorders of the brain, spinal cord, nerves and muscles. In this programme you follow experienced neurologists in the clinic and on the ward, observing how patients are evaluated, diagnosed and treated.

Daily case discussions connect what you see with the underlying anatomy and evidence, covering cerebrovascular disease, epilepsy, movement disorders, demyelinating disease, headache and neurodegenerative disorders.
