A Survey of Neurologists on Postconcussion Syndrome.
CONCLUSIONS: There has been growing acceptance of the organicity of PCS among neurologists in the last 25 years. There is significant concern over the long-term sequelae of concussion as most respondents would not recommend that their son or grandson play football.

Ask a neurologist: What primary care providers ask, and reducing referrals through eConsults
Conclusions We found that an eConsult service provides timely access to neurologists and can divert half of intended face-to-face consultations. The most common questions posed by PCPs regarded diagnosis and drug therapy for headaches, seizures, altered sensation, and CVD. eConsult services could provide guidance for continuing medical education planning in neurology.

Aspects of nutrition for prevention and treatment of chronic neurological diseases.
Abstract Chronic neurodegenerative and neuroinflammatory diseases, such as idiopathic Parkinson's syndrome, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and multiple sclerosis, represent a therapeutic challenge. Their pathophysiology is not well understood and a cure for any of these diseases is not possible. Over the past decades lifestyle and nutritional habits in modern industrial nations have changed and evidence is increasing that the prevalence of chronic diseases as well their clinical presentation are also changing. Epidemiological investigations indicate that nutritional components might have an impact on the pathogen...

Stroke Care Services in Singapore During COVID-19 Pandemic —A National Perspective
Stroke is a significant cause of admission to Singapore's acute care hospitals. Because of the current COVID-19 pandemic, there have been major changes in the stroke care system. On calling for the public ambulance, those suspected to have COVID-19 infection are taken to the National Center for Infectious Diseases. Otherwise, on arrival at the emergency room, all cases with fever or respiratory symptoms [COVID-19 suspect patients (CSPs)] are evaluated separately by staff wearing full personal protective equipment (PPE). Triage is not delayed. CSPs needing hyperacute therapies are sent to a specially prepared scanner; if no...

The Columbia Evidence Based Neurology Manual: A Step Towards Evidence Based Practice (P4.194)
Conclusions: The neurology resident evidence based manual is at least as effective as other online resources in supporting the patient care process and guiding clinical decisions during residency training. The long-term goal is for the manual to be a resident driven project updated annually and to be made accessible to other training programs.Disclosure: Dr. Blum has nothing to disclose.

Medical Undergraduate Survey on Headache Education in Singapore: Knowledge, Perceptions, and Assessment of Unmet Needs
ConclusionsThe current medical undergraduate curriculum on headache disorders in Singapore may harbor significant unmet needs. A review of the syllabus to increase headache education may be one method to address this gap. Further studies in this area are required.

Comparison of American Academy of Neurology's Online Patient Education Materials to Other Common Internet Sources. (P1.332)
CONCLUSIONS: OPEMs on neurological diseases from AAN and other common online resources are being written at a level of reading complexity higher than the average American and the recommended reading levels. This may be undermining the utility of these resources.Study Supported by: Disclosure: Dr. Dagar has nothing to disclose. Dr. Punia has nothing to disclose. Dr. Agarwal has nothing to disclose.

Is Clinical Neurology Exposure Increasing in Medical Schools Throughout the United States? (P4.199)
CONCLUSIONS: In the eight years from 2005 to 2013, US medical schools increasingly mandated students to complete clinical neurology clerkships during their third year of medical school. As the prevalence of neurological diseases increases, exposure to clinical neurology will become increasingly important. We conclude that US medical schools seem to be moving toward earlier, mandatory exposure of students to clinical neurology.Disclosure: Dr. Kornitzer has nothing to disclose.

The demise of direct ophthalmoscopy: A modern clinical challenge
Ocular funduscopy appears to be a dying art. Physicians and medical students alike lack confidence in the use of an ophthalmoscope. As a result, few clinicians perform ophthalmoscopy, and many who do are unable to reliably detect abnormalities of the ocular fundus. Approaches to remediation in undergraduate medical education have included simulators, longitudinal skill reinforcement, Web-based teaching, and other techniques. Preservation of the ophthalmoscopic art has been hindered by technical difficulty, waning enthusiasm for ophthalmoscopy, and even discouragement from preceptors in medical education. Ocular fundus phot...

An Educational Intervention for Neurology Residents on Post-Residency/Fellowship Practice (P2.364)
Conclusions: These pilot data support previous findings that most residents do not receive adequate counseling about post-graduation medical practice and financial issues. Additionally, pre- and post-intervention surveys suggest that programs aimed specifically at medical practice and finance post-residency/fellowship may evoke positive changes in behavior while addressing several ACGME core competencies. This intervention demonstrates a need to inform neurology residents about post-residency/fellowship medical practice. As part of their standard curriculum, residency programs should adopt programs to better position neuro...

Neurology Education for Critical Care Fellows Using High-Fidelity Simulation
Conclusions Simulation is an effective means of neurologic education for critical care trainees, with improvement in both medical knowledge and trainee confidence after completion of a three-scenario simulation experience. This course ensures the exposure of critical care trainees to neurologic diseases that are required curricular milestones to successfully complete the fellowship training program.

Probable Rates vs. Self-Reported: Variances in Concussion Reporting and Extent of Education for High School Athletes (P2.055)
Conclusions:A large discrepancy exists between the number of athletes who anonymously reported symptoms of possible concussion and the number self-reporting a diagnosed concussion. There were a strikingly low percentage of athletes surveyed that indicated having received concussion education at school (25%). This potential gap in education could contribute to variability in self-reported concussions. Future directions of the study include collecting responses from more athletes and also investigating how the mandated education is implemented to identify possible interventions.Study Supported by:UCLA BIRC, UCLA Steve Tisch ...

The Future of the Lecture in Neurology Education
Semin Neurol 2018; 38: 418-427 DOI: 10.1055/s-0038-1667042The lecture has been a core pedagogical method since the early days of formal medical education. Although approaches to formal lectures have evolved over the years, there has been ongoing debate about the role that lectures should play in modern medical education. Arguably, traditional lectures do not align well with modern learning theory, and do not take full advantage of our current knowledge of how people learn. In many modern medical curricula, lectures have been replaced by self-study activities, including video-based lectures, computer-based learning modules,...

Opinion and Special Articles: Electronic media in neurology education: Progress, promise, and pitfalls
Today's neurology learners have more information to assimilate than ever before,1 requiring them to learn as quickly and efficiently as possible, while also becoming lifelong learners. To facilitate more effective and expedient learning, neurology educators have begun using computer-assisted learning technologies in education and residency. Electronic media have been found to be effective additions to education due to their flexibility, scalability, timeliness, and adaptability.2 Computer-based learning is increasingly employed by medical students, neurology trainees, and practicing neurologists, making it necessary to acc...
