4th year rotation 2 initial entry

So my next placement is neuro which I believe will be in an inpatient setting.
I’m not really sure what to expect and how large a case load I will have, as I am at a private setting which has implications due to patients paying for treatment. I expect to be assessing and treating different neurological conditions like strokes and Parkinson’s disease and that I will need to have a fairly good grounding in my neuro-anatomy and use of objective measures. I think that as there are two of us going on this placement we might be working together/sharing a case load. As students I expect we will be working fairly independently but given some supervision and guidance into areas we are not as familiar in. I am looking forward to this placement as I think it will be very helpful in building on my neuro physio skills and I am quite interested in this area. I just hope this cold I have goes away by tomorrow!
