Abstract Details

Designing a Global Neurology Track: For Residents by the Residents
General Neurology
P6 - Poster Session 6 (11:45 AM-12:45 PM)
11-003
To address these gaps in our current curriculum, we created a global neurology track with the goals of creating awareness about epidemiology, presentation, and approach to diagnosis and treatment of common neurological disorders worldwide.

Global access to neurological care is an increasing concern as the burden of neurologic disease grows. Clinical practice may vary considerably in global settings given potentially limited resources or unique epidemiologic factors. Hence, it is essential to remain cognizant of what is happening outside of our immediate environment. There is a need for strengthening our understanding of how neurology is practiced globally via education and sharing of clinical practice. 47 out of 56 adult neurology residents at our institute felt there was a need for further dedicated teaching in this area. Furthermore, as many as 72% of residents were interested in an international elective.

N/A

Creation of an individualized Global Neurology Track with the following highlights:

1. Global neurology week: Creating and integrating Global Neurology Week in our mandatory noon conference didactics for the residency.

2. Special conferences: Organizing formal journal clubs and virtual case conferences in different subspecialties with different universities for interested residents in the track.

3. Geographic Pods for On and Off campus connections: Connecting residents to home institute faculty and global leaders in neurological education, clinical skills, and research through tailored scholarly projects to meet individual academic goals. Track members included committed residents and faculty members who bring expertise from different geographical pods allowing varied international connections and rotations. 

We faced and continue to encounter growing pains. Some of them include identifying financial and logistical support to run this program. Here we discuss ideas and challenges encountered with an aim to create a sustainable global neurology track created by the residents for the residents.
