To assess the efficacy of and preference for flipped classrooms (FC) as part of the neurology noon conference curriculum
The FC is an education model where learners acquire knowledge through self-paced learning activities prior to class and apply knowledge through problem-solving activities during class time. This study seeks to demonstrate the utility of the FC as part of the neurology noon conference curriculum.

A FC curriculum was designed to teach epilepsy monitoring unit competencies. The FC occurred once annually for two academic years. Neurology residents and medical students completing a neurology rotation at Temple University Hospital were eligible to participate. Participants were asked to read EMU protocols prior to class and were placed in small groups for problem-based learning during the classroom session. Participants were asked to complete a survey before and after the session. The survey assessed participants' self-perceived active learning, FC efficacy, and preference for FC through a series of 13 questions rated on a scale of 1 to 5 with 5 being the most positive rating. 

37 survey responses were recorded. The average responses on the 5-point scale were 4.30 (95% CI 4.11 to 4.49) for questions regarding active learning, 4.34 (95% CI 4.22 to 4.46) for questions regarding FC efficacy, and 4.18 (95% CI 4.03 to 4.35) for questions regarding FC preference. The proportion of positive responses, defined as ratings of 4 or 5, were 93%, 92%, and 91% for student responses versus 70%, 87%, and 63% for resident responses for questions regarding active learning, FC efficacy, and FC preference respectively. 

Flipped classrooms appear to be an effective tool to teach residents and medical students. The difference between student and resident perceptions of the FC could be explained by a variety of factors including greater student inclusion in FC and prior student exposure to FC.
