Children’s Memorial Hermann Hospital
Children’s Memorial Hermann Hospital is located in the Texas Medical Center, right next door to the McGovern Medical School.
While on the month-long pediatric neurology rotation, the neurology resident on the inpatient and consultative service will be expected to:
- be clinically familiar with all the patients on the Service
- supervise other residents (pediatric, medicine-pediatric and psychiatric) and medical students rotating on the Service
- be responsible for organizing the teaching and patient Service rounds with the attending child neurologist
- supervise the clinical presentations of patients to the attending physician by the students and residents on the Service
The neurology resident will also be responsible for supervising the consultation and daily medical record notations in the chart of patients allocated to the other students and residents on the Service. All residents on Service will complete a brief but pertinent discharge summary on all patients admitted directly to the Pediatric Neurology Service.
Memorial Hermann Hospital
As the primary teaching hospital for McGovern Medical School at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth), Memorial Hermann provides exceptional care in heart, neuroscience, orthopedics, women’s health, general surgery and organ transplantation.
UT Physicians Clinic
At the various outpatient clinics, the pediatric neurology resident will supervise the attendance of neurology residents, other residents (pediatric, Medicine-Pediatric and psychiatric) and students. Although the Pediatric Neurology Service commitments are primary, selected members of the Service will also attend the various general and specialty (epilepsy, neuromuscular, neuro-oncology and movement disorders) child neurology clinics.
The pediatric neurology resident will be expected to be actively involved in the teaching aspects of rotation on the Service, including supervision of other residents and students in history-taking, neurological examination and patient management, and also elaborating further on clinical and teaching information presented by the attending pediatric neurologist(s). The pediatric neurology resident will also be involved in the overall assessment and formal evaluation of other members of the clinical Service (residents and students) as required by the Medical School and the specific departments.
