Core Position Descriptions
The advanced trainee in Neurology will rotate on a 6 or 12 monthly basis between Stroke and Neurology inpatient duties. Training opportunities in neurophysiology, ambulatory care, emergency care, neuropathology, neuroradiology and neuropsychiatry are essentially the same for both positions. The advanced trainees are expected to be familiar with and closely involved in the management and investigation of all inpatient cases under the supervision of the duty consultant. During the Neurology roster the advanced trainee will supervise a neurology resident and when on the Stroke roster the advanced trainee will supervise an intern. Both advanced trainees have exposure to formal EEG review sessions and supervised EMG clinics throughout the year. Inpatient consultations from other hospital clinics are shared between the Stroke and Neurology Registrars and the Neurology Resident. The Registrars participate on an on-call roster as per RAH policy (0800-1700 registrar on duty in RAH; 1700-2200 registrar/ resident on 1:3 remote call).
