First-year medical student groups rotated through classrooms, each containing a Neurology patient and physician, as a "Neuro Day" event to make direct clinical connections with the basic sciences. Inspired by post-graduate Clerkships, this event provided timely first-hand experiences focusing on pathological neurologic exam findings. Qualitative and quantitative data were collected from end-of-course surveys. The results show how the event served to reinvigorate enthusiasm for learning Clinical Neurobiology outside the traditional lecture environment and could empower patients as educators within a teaching community.
