4th YEAR MBBS, NEUROSCIENCES-II & PSYCHIATRYMODULE LIAQUAT NATIONAL MEDICAL COLLEGE AVICENNA MEDICAL COLLEGE INTRODUCTION WHAT IS A STUDYGUIDE? It is an aidto: Inform students how student learning program of the semester-wise module has been organized Helpstudentsorganize andmanagetheirstudiesthroughoutthemodule Guide students on assessment methods, rules andregulations THE STUDYGUIDE: Communicates information on organization and management of themodule. Thiswill helpthestudentto contactthe rightpersonin caseof anydifficulty. Definestheobjectiveswhich areexpectedto beachieved at theendof themodule. Identifies the learning strategies such as lectures, small group teachings, clinical skills, demonstration, tutorial and casebasedlearning that will be implemented to achieve the module objectives. Provides a list of learning resources such as books, computer assisted learning programs, web- links,journals,forstudentsto consultin orderto maximize their learning. Highlights information on the contribution of continuous and semester examinations on the student s overallperformance. Includes information on the assessment methods that will be held to determine every student s achievement ofobjectives. Focuses on information pertaining toexamination policy, rules and regulations. CURRICULUMFRAMEWORK Studentswill experience integratedcurriculumsimilar to previousmodulesof all 7semesters. INTEGRATED CURRICULUM comprises system-based modules such as Eye/ENT, dermatology, genetics, rehabilitation and neurosciences-II & psychiatry modules which links basic science knowledge to clinical problems. Integrated teaching means that subjects are presented as a meaningful whole. Students will be able to have better understanding of basic sciences when they repeatedly learn in relation to clinical examples. LEARNING EXPERIENCES: Case based integrated discussions, Task oriented learning followed by task presentation, skills acquisition in skills lab, computer-based assignments, learning experiences in clinics, wards.

4th YEAR MBBS, NEUROSCIENCES-II & PSYCHIATRYMODULE LIAQUAT NATIONAL MEDICAL COLLEGE AVICENNA MEDICAL COLLEGE INTEGRA TING DISCIPLINES OF NEUROSCINCES-II & PSYCHIA TRYMODULE LEARNINGMETHODOLOGIES The following teaching / learning methods are used to promote better understanding: InteractiveLectures Small Group Discussion Case-Based Discussion(CBD) ClinicalExperiences o ClinicalRotations Skillssession INTERACTIVELECTURES:In large group, the lecturer introduces atopic or common clinical conditions and explains the underlying phenomena through questions, pictures, videos of patients interviews, exercises,etc.Studentsareactivelyinvolved in the learningprocess. SMALL GROUP SESSION: This format helps students to clarify concepts, acquire skills or desired attitudes. Sessionsare structured with the help of specific exercisessuchaspatient case,interviews or discussiontopics. Studentsexchangeopinions andapplyknowledge gainedfrom lectures,tutorials and self study. The facilitator role is to ask probing questions, summarize, or rephrase to help clarify concepts. Page | 5
4th YEAR MBBS, NEUROSCIENCES-II & PSYCHIA TRYMODULE LIAQUAT NATIONAL MEDICALCOLLEGE AVICENNA MEDICAL COLLEGE CASE-BASEDDISUCSSION(CBD): A small group discussion format where learning is focused around a series of questions based on a clinical scenario. Students discuss and answer the questions applying relevant knowledge gained previously in clinical and basic health sciences during the module and construct newknowledge. TheCBDwill beprovided bythe concerndepartment. EXPERIENCES: In small groups, students observe patients with signs and CLINICAL LEARNING symptoms in hospital wards, clinics and outreach centers. This helps students to relate knowledge of basicandclinical sciencesof the module andpreparefor futurepractice. o CLINICAL ROTATIONS: In small groups, students rotate in different wards like Medicine, Pediatrics, Surgery, Obs & Gyne, ENT, Eye, Family Medicine clinics, outreach centers & Community Medicine experiences. Here students observe patients, take histories and perform supervised clinical examinations in outpatient and inpatient settings. They also get an opportunity to observe medical personnel working as a team. These rotations help studentsrelate basicmedicalandclinical knowledgein diverse clinicalareas. SKILLSSESSION:Skills relevant to respective module are observed and practiced where applicable in skillslaboratory. SELF-DIRECTED STUDY: Students assume responsibilities of their own learning through individual study, sharing and discussing with peers, seeking information from Learning ResourceCenter, teachers and resource persons within and outside the college. Students can utilize the time within the college scheduled hoursof self-study. Page | 6
4th YEAR MBBS, NEUROSCIENCES-II & PSYCHIATRYMODULE LIAQUAT NATIONAL MEDICAL COLLEGE AVICENNA MEDICAL COLLEGE SEMESTER 8 MODULE 5 : NEUROSCIENCES-II & PSYCHIA TRY INTRODUCTION Neurological disorders jurisdiction starts from Cerebral cortex and moves down through brain stem, spinal cord, cranial nerves, peripheral nerves, nerve roots, autonomic nervous system, neuromuscular junction, and finally involvesmuscles. are diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system. The This module will provide students with a multidisciplinary approach to understanding the etiology of neurological and mental disorders. Neurological problems are the leading cause for disability globally. An estimated 1-billion people around the world have a neurological disorder or disease, which is almost 15-percent of the world s population. According to WHO more than 6 million people die because of stroke each year; over 80% of these deaths take place in low- and middle-income countries. Psychiatric disorders are also major human toll of ill health. According to 2012 WHO data, Neuro-Psychiatric disorders are among 12 leading causes of disability anddeathinPakistan. In this module students will learn about the etiology of common disorders encountered by neurologists and psychiatrists and develop comprehensive understanding of the biological, pathological, psychological and social factors behind these disorders. The basis for pharmacological treatments for conditions such as epilepsy, Parkinson s disease and schizophreniawill alsobediscussed. Page | 7
