Students’ competence will be assessed through an oral examination. The neurology questions will cover the basic aspects of the main neurological disorders, their clinical presentation, the diagnostic process, and the fundamental elements of treatment.
The final grade will be assigned based on the level of preparation demonstrated during the oral examination and will be expressed on a 30-point scale, where 18 is the minimum passing score and 30 is the maximum.
