Description

This course is intended to introduce and increase students’ awareness to a wide range of neurological disorders (Alzheimer’s, Parkinson, Autism, Cerebral Palsy,….). It provides a basic introduction to several neurological disorders, (the biology, causes, symptoms, etc…), and discusses how medical and public health professionals, public policies, disorders foundations, or patient advocacy have impacted these disorders and their patients. Each disorder will be used as an example to discuss some social, cultural or ethical issues such as stigma, disabled rights (educational rights, legal rights,…..). A list of readings will be provided on each of the topics; students are required to engage in group discussions after each lecture. Additionally, students will discuss and present research papers; the topics of these presentations need to be discussed with the instructor on the first week of class.
