The course includes assessment and evaluation of the visual system, the components and clinical application of the neurological exam, and the evaluation of the dizzy or vertiginous patient. Emphasis is placed on integration of knowledge previously acquired in the basic sciences curriculum, the need to critically assess the patient’s history and risk factors, the correlation between pathophysiologic changes and resultant clinical findings, the significance of these findings, and the prioritization of the patient’s health care needs.
