{"title":"Group text messaging as a residency teaching tool in outpatient neurology and headache: A mixed-methods observational study.","authors":"Anjeli Song, Joseph E Safdieh, Matthew S Robbins","doi":"10.1111/head.14870","DOIUrl":"10.1111/head.14870","url":null,"abstract":"<p><strong>Objective: </strong>To assess the feasibility and efficacy of group text messaging as a teaching tool to improve neurology resident knowledge and clinical pearl dissemination in an outpatient setting enriched with headache encounters, and to evaluate if learning points from this teaching method would influence resident care of subsequent patients.</p><p><strong>Background: </strong>Inpatient neurology teaching during training is most often accomplished in team settings during rounds or conferences such as morning report, but outpatient teaching where headache is more likely encountered may be less consistently performed in such a setting where learning points may be shared. Few studies have evaluated whether group text messaging can be an innovative tool for teaching in residency training.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Neurology residents in a continuity clinic pod at New York Presbyterian-Weill Cornell were included in this cohort from December 2020 through March 2024. Group text messages deidentified of any patient information were sent to the resident pod by their preceptor after each clinic session featuring one text message regarding a takeaway learning point pertaining to each patient encounter. Residents were surveyed on their satisfaction with this teaching method and whether these text messages improved their outpatient neurology knowledge.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>A total of 230 text messages were sent to a cohort of 21 residents across 4 academic years. Text message topics covered a variety of neurological subspecialties, most commonly headache and facial pain (44.8%), general neurology (15.7%), and neuromuscular (14.3%). In our survey, 93% of resident respondents reported that receiving clinical pearls improved their outpatient neurology knowledge and changed how they cared for subsequent patients.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Reinforcement of traditionally one-on-one learning points in a teaching outpatient setting to engage a group of residents was feasible across visit types. There was an overall very positive response to this teaching method, and residents reported improved knowledge, which influenced their care of subsequent patients.</p>","PeriodicalId":12844,"journal":{"name":"Headache","volume":" ","pages":"539-544"},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142728037","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
