The MD Pediatric Neurology syllabus is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of neurologic disorders in children. It covers a range of topics including the normal development of the pediatric nervous system, neurological examination techniques specific to children, and the interpretation of neuroimaging and diagnostic tests in pediatric cases. The curriculum also includes in-depth studies on common pediatric neurological conditions such as epilepsy, neurogenetic disorders, neurodevelopmental disorders (e.g., autism, ADHD), neuromuscular disorders, and pediatric headaches. Additionally, students will delve into specialized areas like pediatric neuroimmunology, neurocutaneous syndromes, and neurobehavioral disorders. The syllabus also emphasizes the importance of a multidisciplinary approach, collaboration with other pediatric specialties, and ethical considerations in pediatric neurology practice and research. Clinical training is a crucial component, involving exposure to diverse pediatric neurology cases, as well as opportunities for research and advancements in the field.
