Distance Learning

Required adult neurology clerkship students placed outside of the Seattle area will need to watch the orientation video and weekly case lectures. Look for the orange instructions for away students on individual pages throughout this website. If you have questions about the orientation or the course, please contact the clerkship director.  Here is also a handy printable requirements checklist to keep you on target.
