Cranial Nerve Exam Review | A Clinical Medicine Brief

🧠 NEURO101: Cranial Nerve Exam Review | Clinical Medicine Brief
In this foundational episode of the NEURO101 series on the Pro-PA Podcast, Dr. G walks you through a high-yield Cranial Nerve Review—covering all 12 cranial nerves with clinical context and memory aids to help you crush your PANCE, OSCEs, and rotations.

👁️👂👃 From olfaction to eye movements, facial sensation to motor function—this is the ultimate refresher for understanding the anatomy, function, and key deficits associated with CN I–XII.

🎯 In this Clinical Medicine Brief, you’ll learn:

The names, numbers, and primary functions of each cranial nerve

Whether each is sensory, motor, or both (Mnemonic: Some Say Marry Money…)

Real-world associations: how CN findings show up in strokes, trauma, tumors, infections

Testing techniques for each nerve on physical exam

Clinical correlations (e.g., CN III palsy, CN VII Bell’s palsy, CN XII deviation)

Mnemonics to lock it in!

Whether you’re just starting out or reviewing for boards, this is a must-know neuro core topic for every PA student.
