This unit is suitable for students with clinical experience. If you have not practised we recommend that you complete CLNP5001 Basic Sciences in Clinical Neurophysiology and CLNP5003 Clinical Neurophysiology Techniques prior to undertaking this unit of study |
At the completion of this unit, you should be able to:
- LO1. Provide a framework for approaching medical conditions (definition, aetiology, clinical features, etc)
- LO2. Provide participants with the tools required to recognise common neuromuscular presentations
- LO3. Guide participants to formulate differential diagnoses for neuromuscular clinical presentations
- LO4. Explain the utility of more advanced neurophysiological techniques such as evoked potentials and single fibre EMG
- LO5. Explore the key clinical features of rare but characteristic neuromuscular conditions
- LO6. Provide participants with an understanding of common conditions encountered in a hospital
- LO7. Explore the challenges associated with critical care medicine
- LO8. Reinforce knowledge of the typical findings on common neurophysiological tests
