Mashup Score: 9Catering Neurology Education to the New Generations of Trainees - 22 day(s) ago
After sailing through the rough waters of the pandemic, neurology educators continue to navigate the challenges of finding a way to bring back the fascination of neuroscience to the eyes of their new audience. In the 2021 AAMC All Schools Summary Report, only 2.6% of medical students selected neurology as their intended area of practice. 1 A 2020 AAN qualitative study interviewed medical students that chose neurology and identified the following as main factors of their decision: early and broad clinical

Clinical training in neurology is a necessarily compact, intense, and challenging time of learning, growth, and professional development. Through a largely apprenticeship model that employs stepwise, guided, and supervised practice with increasing independence, residents gain new knowledge, practice new clinical skills, and develop a professional identity as physicians and specialists. Much of the learning in neurology training stems from immersive experiences, direct observation, and one-to-one teaching

Mashup Score: 15Curriculum Innovation: Design and Implementation of Synchronous and Asynchronous Curricula to Enhance Residents' EEG Knowledge and Experience - 5 month(s) ago
Introduction and Problem Statement There is a need for structured EEG education opportunities to enhance neurology resident education. To address this need, the American Epilepsy Society (AES) supported the development and implementation of both synchronous and asynchronous EEG courses. Objectives To produce EEG curricula that enhance resident EEG learning, increase interest in EEG and improve participants’ knowledge, and to ensure that courses were highly used and available to the broadest range of learners. Methods and Curriculum Description A multi-institutional group of EEG educators developed both courses. The synchronous curriculum consisted of a mixture of brief “mini-lectures” and interactive small group activities with self-assessment quizzes at the start and end of the course. The online asynchronous EEG curriculum consisted of self-directed slide sets, multiple-choice self-assessment quizzes and a structured EEG self-assessment tool. Courses were evaluated using postcourse s

Introduction Virtual teaching sessions during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic were challenging for students and teachers but were also an opportunity to find creative ways to teach physical examination skills, including the neurologic examination. We examined expert opinions of the pros and cons that arise using a virtual platform to teach the neurologic examination and strategies to best address these challenges. Methods This was a qualitative study incorporating a focus group of faculty and resident neurologists. Data were coded using conventional content analysis. An interpretivist, social constructionist approach was used to look for interesting or novel ideas, rather than testing a specific hypothesis. Three independent auditors performed a dependability and confirmability audit to confirm that the themes accurately reflected the data. Results A single focus group was used. Four of the 6 participants were faculty neurologists and 2 were neurology residents. Five themes were

Mashup Score: 6Education Research: The Development and Utilization of a Virtual Twitter Onboarding Curriculum for Neurologists, Trainees, and Students - 6 month(s) ago
Background and Objectives Social media has increased in popularity among neurologists in the past few years without a parallel increase in training opportunities to learn how to use social media effectively. This study tests the feasibility of an asynchronous, virtual onboarding curriculum using Twitter as a tool for professional development for neurologists and neurology trainees. Methods Neurologists and neurology trainees were recruited virtually through email, Twitter, and a listserv of the American Academy of Neurology (Synapse). Participants were excluded if they had a professional Twitter account or lived outside the United States. Participants performed all study procedures virtually, including a baseline survey followed by three 30-minute modules: introduction to NeuroTwitter, peer learning, and academic scholarship on Twitter. A postmodule survey was completed to provide postprogram curriculum feedback. Newly created Twitter accounts were followed for 3 months to track Twitte
