MedEd training curricula for medical students may cultivate student understanding (and thus interest) in a MedEd career. The Johns Hopkins Osler Apprenticeship (OA) in Neurology is a structured 1-year program for senior medical students (Osler Apprentices/OAs) created to develop talent in MedEd.</p><p><strong>Objectives: </strong>By the end of the program, OAs will be better able to (1) cultivate and sustain longitudinal mentorship relationships; (2) design, implement, and present a MedEd project; (3) understand individual leadership strengths; (4) develop and refine skills in educational leadership and integrate feedback to enhance learning experiences; and (5) develop an understanding of the responsibilities of an academic educator.</p><p><strong>Methods and curriculum description: </strong>The OA is a 1-year program that provides learners with comprehensive exposure to MedEd through key program components of mentorship, a scholarly project, strength coaching, and leadership and experiential opportunities. To evaluate the program's impact on OAs and preceptor motivations for engagement and its benefits, we administered 3 distinct surveys to OAs at exit, OA alumni, and faculty preceptors. We implemented the 4 levels of the New World Kirkpatrick Model to evaluate the impact of the program.</p><p><strong>Results and assessment data: </strong>Twenty-four of 33 OAs (73%), 18 of 29 alumni (62%), and 6 of 7 preceptors (86%) responded to the surveys.

OAs (n = 22/92%) and alumni (n = 14/78%) agreed that the OA influenced their academic practices and behaviors, and 7 alumni (39%) were recognized or awarded (level 3).

In 2019, the American Headache Society (AHS) Consortium of Academic Program Directors accepted the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) Fellowship Application Timing Position Statement. The Headache Medicine match was reinstated for appointment year 2023 and has continued since that time.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>We obtained NRMP match data for appointment years 2016, 2017, 2018, 2023, 2024, and 2025 with permission and assistance from the NRMP Data and Research department. Quantitative data were summarized with descriptive statistics. The study was reviewed and approved by Stanford University's Institutional Review Board (Protocol ID: 71480).</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>We compared the averages (for number of certified programs, certified positions, program fill rate, and certified applicants) of appointment years 2016-2018 with the averages of appointment years 2023-2025. There were 2.4 times more certified programs participating in the most recent 3 cycles of the match. There were 2.6 times more certified positions in the most recent 3 cycles of the match. The range of program fill rate was 26.7% (2017) to 81.0% (2025). The program fill rate nearly doubled (1.8 times greater) in the most recent 3 cycles of the match. For the number of certified applicants, the range was 7 (in 2017) to 61 (in 2025). There were 4.5 times more certified applicants in the most recent 3 cycles of the match.</p><p><strong>Discussion: </strong>The Headache Medicine fellowship application process has undergone a significant transformation from 2015 to 2024. The number of programs and applicants participating in the NRMP match increased significantly over time in the setting of implementing the AAN's unified application time line and launching the AHS National Headache Fellowship Opportunities website, and with increasing total number of Neurology and Child Neurology graduates.</p>","PeriodicalId":520085,"journal":{"name":"Neurology.
