The secondary objective was to evaluate differences between faculty and trainee polling results. Methods Two online surveys were sent 1 year apart seeking opinions about a transition to virtual PMC and completed by virtual PMC faculty participants (including representatives from neurology, neurosurgery, and neuropsychology). One online survey was sent to trainees (medical students, residents, and fellows) to assess the educational value of the conference. Anonymous electronic polls surveying treatment options were completed by both faculty and trainees after each virtual PMC presentation but before discussing the case. The results were collected and analyzed over 16 months, including over the course of 1 academic year. The degree of consensus was determined by the maximum percentage of votes that a single choice received. Results Eleven faculty and 22 trainees responded to their respective surveys. The initial faculty survey revealed that 60.0% of faculty had an “excellent” or “very good” experience with virtual PMC; 1 year later, this proportion increased to 100.0% while trainees reported 90.9%. Each virtual PMC component, including perceived standard of care, was found to be “excellent” or “very good” by most faculty and trainees, and most (91% faculty, 63.7% trainees) were equally comfortable or more comfortable expressing opinions during the virtual discussion. During virtual PMC polls, faculty members were significantly more likely to vote for vagus nerve stimulation as a treatment option, while trainees were more likely to opt for responsive neurostimulation. Linear regression over the course of the academic year showed stable consensus over time for both faculty and trainees; however, the match between faculty and trainee consensus significantly increased over the academic year. Discussion Our results demonstrate that the virtual PMC constitutes an effective educational experience as an alternative to in-person conferences for the management of patients with drug-resistant epilepsy.","PeriodicalId":496615,"journal":{"name":"Neurology Education","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135924354","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Given the growing shortage of neurologists, and specifically neuro-ophthalmologists, it is important that students who will be at the front lines of these complaints are comfortable assessing such patients. We developed a neuro-ophthalmology learning intervention composed of an interactive workshop that discussed novel, online case-based modules. We assessed (1) the subjective and objective improvement in the understanding of neuro-ophthalmologic manifestations of common neurologic conditions and (2) satisfaction with the educational tool. Objectives The objectives of this study were to identify and describe common neuro-ophthalmologic manifestations of neurologic conditions, to explain the differential diagnosis, diagnostic workup, and evidence-based treatment of common neuro-ophthalmologic conditions, and to use interactive, case-based discussion to foster an enjoyable, student-focused e-learning environment via the 20/20 SIM platform. Methods and Curriculum Description Our study team, composed of ophthalmology and neurology faculty, developed cases for 5 common and high-stake neurologic conditions with neuro-ophthalmologic manifestations and published them on 2020SIM.com. The cases served as the basis of our educational intervention, a 1-hour virtual interactive workshop for neurology clerkship students. Students completed optional, anonymous pretests and posttests and an exit survey to assess subjective and objective neuro-ophthalmology knowledge improvement and satisfaction with the educational tool. Results and Assessment Data A total of 145 students participated; 86% (n = 125), 70% (n = 102), and 61% (n = 88) completed at least part of the pretest, posttest, and exit survey, respectively. The mean knowledge score increased from 7.5 to 8.5/10, p = 0.00014. Students reported a subjective increase in knowledge of neuro-ophthalmology (70%, n = 62) and wished to see a similar learning tool for other specialties (92%, n = 81). More than half (64%, n = 56) enjoyed the workshop, approximately three-quarters (73%, n = 64) preferred the interactive session to traditional didactics, and almost all (92%, n = 81) students recommended the learning sessions in the future. Discussion and Lessons Learned Medical students experienced subjective and objective improvement in their understanding of neuro-ophthalmologic manifestations of common neurologic conditions. In addition, they rated the intervention favorably in relation to traditional didactics and recommended a similar platform in other specialties. The integration of interactive online learning tools, such as the SIM platform, into curricular workshops may offer a favorable and effective strategy to increase exposure to topics with less curricular time.","PeriodicalId":496615,"journal":{"name":"Neurology Education","volume":"91 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135533188","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
