OVERVIEW
Neurology and Psychiatry is a medical field dealing with disorders of the nervous system and
mental illness. Specifically, it deals with the diagnosis and treatment of all categories of disease involving
the central, peripheral, and autonomic nervous systems, including their coverings, blood vessels, and all
effector tissue, such as muscle. The main purpose of Neurobehaviour System Block is giving the student
understanding to basic science of Neurology and Psychiatry, including neuroanatomy, neuropathology
and neurophysiology. We use Problem-Based-Learning (PBL) method to help students develop the
reasoning process in integrated way by use some trigger cases. The PBL also developing skill of student
in reasoning process through the patient problem: generating hypotheses, carrying out an inquiry
through history and physical examination, analyzing data obtained from the patient, synthesizing the
data into a meaningful picture of the patient’s problem and making diagnostic and therapeutic decisions.
This method would help students acquire new information by providing them with a context to apply their
knowledge to clinical problems. A further aim of PBL is to provide students with resources in self-
directed learning skills that will persist throughout their careers.
Neurobehaviour Team has developed this Neurobehaviour Block Book which could be used as
a guiding book for lecturers and students. We hope that this book will be useful for all.

The list of diseases consist of chosen diseases which are derived from diseases burdens that
arise based on morbidity, mortality, and case fatality rate data estimated in primary health services;
severity of the problems and their effect to individual, family and society. Medical Doctor Graduates who
will be working in primary level should have adequate levels of competencies thus able to refer, to make
a diagnosis, to give an initial management, or to provide a comprehensive management. Therefore on
every chosen diseases, certain level of competency is set, which expected to be accomplished at the
end of Medical Doctor degree program, based on estimated competency which will be given when a
medical doctor work in primary health care, in line with common condition in Indonesia.
Provided, after graduated, a medical doctor would like to work in remote area where health care
services is very minimal, or in certain area which an extra competency is needed; the authority is
expected to give briefing prior to settlement.
The list of diseases is categorized based on systems, organs, and age. The levels of
competencies which are expected to be accomplished at the end of Medical Doctor degree program are
as follow (based on Standar Kompetensi Dokter Indonesia (SKDI), Konsil Kedokteran Indonesia 2012)
Level of Competencies 1
A Medical Doctor is able to identify and to situate clinical features of the diseases when reading
references. In correspondences, he is able to identify these clinical features, and know how to obtain
further information. This level indicates overview level. When facing a patient with these clinical features,
and then assuming the diseases, the Medical Doctor directly refers.
Level of Competencies 3

further examination requested (for example: basic laboratory examination or X-ray). Medical Doctor
is able to decide and provide initial management and refer to relevant specialist (not an emergency
case).
3b. A medical Doctor should be able to make a clinical diagnosis based on physical examination and
further examination requested (for example: basic laboratory examination or X-ray). Medical Doctor
