Curriculum Innovations: A Podcast-Based Neurologic Emergency Flipped Classroom Curriculum for Neurology Residents

Le résumé fourni par la source

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: ® podcast followed by content discussion with a clinical expert. Assessment of the curriculum included presession and postsession surveys focused on learners' confidence and attitudes toward podcast-based education. Results: = 0.15). Podcasts were consistently preferred over lectures and reading-based instructional methods while less preferred compared with simulation-based learning and case-based discussion with faculty. The podcast-based curriculum studied here showed high levels of enjoyment and perceived utility. 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.
