Target Audience
DMU faculty, staff, students, residents, and the medical community.
Description
Interdisciplinary grand rounds are crucial in healthcare because they bring together professionals from various specialties to discuss complex cases, share insights, and enhance patient care. By involving diverse perspectives, these rounds ensure a holistic approach to patient management, where all aspects of a patient’s condition and treatment options are considered. This collaborative setting promotes effective communication across departments, leading to more coordinated care, fewer errors, and better patient outcomes. The multidisciplinary nature of these rounds supports more informed decision-making, especially for complex cases that require input from multiple specialties. By focusing on patient-centered care, these rounds ensure that the care plan aligns with the patient’s values, preferences, and overall well-being.
Educational Need
Throughout their academic training, medical students gain experience with the neuromuscular examination. Developing the ability to differentiate clinical patterns of weakness based on underlying pathophysiology is crucial for building diagnostic skills early in their training. Recognizing clinical features that distinguish common peripheral nervous system disorders will enhance their foundational knowledge and prepare them for future clinical experiences.
Objectives
- Review the neuromuscular examination as it pertains to the peripheral nervous system.
- Differentiate clinical patterns of weakness based on pathophysiology.
- Recognize clinical and discriminating features of commonly seen peripheral nervous system disorders.
