Best Neurology Shelf Exam Tutoring Service

The neurology shelf exam is designed to assess students on the knowledge they have gained during their third year neurology clerkship. While the scope of the neurology shelf exam is a bit more focused than that of internal medicine or family medicine, it can still be a difficult exam! Expect long question stems in neurology, often with extraneous information. Learn how to localize lesions: for this, practicing with questions is absolutely key. With enough time and enough questions, localizing lesions becomes second nature. Know your spinal cord tracts: for this topic as well, practicing with questions will enable you to breeze through. You won’t even have to think about it; this will be easy points. Along those lines, we will spend some time reviewing anatomy: this will not require the same amount of emphasis as in your preclinical years, but it is important to the relevant anatomy especially where it is clinically applicable. And last but not least, be prepared to spend a significant chunk of time reviewing pharmacology. Certain medications are used in neurology time and time again. Know these drugs, the mechanism of action, and the adverse effects.
