Innovative Approaches to Training in Evidence-Based Neurology

Abstract

Background

The training of clinical neurology trainees is an extensive process that requires mastery of core medical sciences alongside the integration of evidence-based clinical practice (EBCP). However, education in neurology and neurosurgery has not kept pace with the growing emphasis on EBCP across various medical specialties.

Objective

This review aims to evaluate the effectiveness of innovative training methods in enhancing the teaching and application of evidence-based neurology (EBN) among clinical neurology trainees.

Methods

The review explores the implementation of innovative training methods, including the flipped classroom model and AI-based tools, to develop trainees' critical appraisal skills and deepen their understanding of clinical evidence. The proposed EBN curriculum focuses on contemporary clinical questions and utilises state-of-the-art technologies to improve diagnostic accuracy and treatment outcomes in neurology.

Results

Structured topic selection, preparation, and tutorial sessions are designed to enhance practical knowledge and critical evaluation skills. The integration of AI tools supports trainees in conducting comprehensive literature searches and critically appraising studies.

Conclusion

This dynamic approach ensures that neurology training remains responsive to the evolving needs of the field, ultimately leading to superior patient care based on the best available evidence.
