Introduction and Goals
This clinical elective for senior residents is based predominantly at the 20 S. Park Neurology clinic and includes both clinic and electrodiagnostic procedures. The goal of this rotation is to provide residents who may have interest in exploring a general neurology private practice some exposure to a less hyper-specialized clinic environment that more closely approximates a general private practice clinic.

As with all of the individual neurology rotations described in this section, the specific objectives of the continuity clinic are reflected in the entrustable professional activities and individual milestones listed below. These form the basis for the resident’s evaluation. (Please see the section End-of-Rotation Evaluations above for the list of milestone abbreviations).
