Mashup Score: 0The Neuromuscular Portal and Match - 7 month(s) ago
Prior to 2021, the neuromuscular medicine fellowship application process suffered from non-standardized timelines and substantial variability. To rectify this, the American Association of Neuromuscular & Electrodiagnostic Medicine (AANEM) established a standardized application timeline and an online application portal in 2020-2021, followed by the introduction of a partial match process. In 2021-2022, AANEM launched a traditional, binding, two-way match system for fellowship positions allocation based on the Gale-Shapley stable matching algorithm. Surveys assessing perceptions of fairness in the application portal and match process were dispatched to applicants and program directors following the 2021 and 2022 recruitment cycles. In the 2020-21 cycle, 90% of program directors and 95% of applicants affirmed the standardized timeline benefited applicants. However, 57% of applicants deemed the process as unfair. All programs and most applicants (58%) favored a transition to a two-way matc

Mashup Score: 6Curriculum Innovations: A Comprehensive Teleneurology Curriculum for Neurology Trainees - 9 month(s) ago
Introduction and Problem Statement As the role of teleneurology expands, it is important to prepare trainees to perform virtual encounters proficiently. Objectives We created a comprehensive multimodality teleneurology curriculum for residents to teach key aspects of telehealth encounters including the virtual examination and skill development across several environments. Methods and Curriculum Description We developed and implemented a teleneurology curriculum focused on teaching the virtual neurologic examination, measuring teleneurology competency, and providing opportunities for trainees to perform telehealth encounters in multiple settings. Residents (N = 22) were first surveyed on what methods would be most helpful to learn teleneurology. Trainees observed a faculty member conducting a teleneurology visit with another faculty member playing a patient. Residents then practiced a teleneurology encounter during a 10-minute objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) at a simula

Mashup Score: 9Curriculum Innovations: A Social Media–Based Educational Curriculum Improves Knowledge for Trainees in Neurocritical Care - 9 month(s) ago
Introduction and Problem Statement The Neurocritical Care (NCC) Society Resident and Fellow Task Force’s NEURON study concluded that learners had significant concerns regarding the need for educational improvement in NCC. To address these shortcomings, we identified the lack of an educational curriculum for trainees in NCC and developed a Twitter-based educational curriculum for trainees to improve knowledge in NCC. Objectives The objectives of this study were to describe the pathophysiology, delineate a systematic diagnostic approach, and apply evidence-based strategies in the management of diseases in NCC. Methods and Curriculum Description Ten trainees developed a Tweetorial (educational content available on Twitter)–based curriculum, with individual review by at least 2 NCC faculty. Learners were recruited through Twitter and randomized to 1 of 2 groups in a wait-list control prospective study. Group 1 completed the curriculum in the first 6 months of the 2021–2022 academic year, a

Mashup Score: 3
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
