Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Education on the management of neurologic emergencies is vital for neurology residents, and effective educational methods are needed. This study aims to implement and evaluate the impact of a podcast-based flipped classroom curriculum in neurologic emergencies. "Flipped classroom" instructional methods have been used in GME and informed by experiential learning theory.
CURRICULUM OBJECTIVES: The objectives of this curriculum were to (1) compare the clinical phenomena discussed in the neurologic emergencies podcast(s) with your own clinical experience; (2) discuss the pitfalls in the management of the neurologic emergencies discussed in the podcast(s); and (3) develop a management plan for the neurologic emergencies discussed in the podcast(s).
METHODS: At 10 neurology residency programs, we implemented a 3-session flipped classroom curriculum covering topics in acute stroke, movement disorder emergencies, and status epilepticus. Each session consisted of a
RESULTS: Our data sample consisted of survey responses from residents, with response volumes ranging from 29-111 across all surveys. Podcasts are already highly used by neurology residents in their self-directed education. Confidence increased among learners in the management of movement disorder emergencies (18% confident before vs 79% confident after,
CONCLUSIONS: We present a 3-part curriculum to help build learners' familiarity and confidence in 3 neurologic emergency categories. The educational impact is established in Level 1 of the Kirkpatrick paradigm. Future studies can explore a higher-level impact of this curriculum. Evolution in neurology education is shifting increasingly toward immediately accessible information via digital media. This curriculum can be useful to neurology educators who need to be increasingly agile and facile with multiple educational techniques to meet learners' needs.
