High-Fidelity Simulation Versus Traditional Didactic Techniques for Teaching Neurological Emergencies to Neurology Residents: A Feasibility Study. (P1.323)

CONCLUSIONS: Simulation based learning offers promise as a tool for objectively assessing some of the ACGME competencies that are more difficult to evaluate via traditional means. Studies with larger N and longer follow-up are needed to assess the efficacy, learner-retention and satisfaction rates among groups.Study supported by AAN education grant 2013.Disclosure: Dr. Agarwal has nothing to disclose.
