Simulation Of Status Epilepticus Is Effective Teaching For Junior Neurology Residents, Pankhuri Jha, Navya George, Jeffrey Ratliff
Phase 1
Purpose: Status Epilepticus (SE) represents a potentially fatal neurologic emergency. At Jefferson, acute management of SE falls to the inpatient neurologist, requiring early competency.
Methods: During a 2 week educational “bootcamp”, 9 PGY2 residents participated in a 2 hour simulation of acute SE with two clinical scenarios. Scenarios included a patient with SE requiring adequate benzodiazepine dosing and another with seizures requiring IV anticonvulsant therapy. Prior to and following the simulation, residents took a survey to gauge their knowledge and confidence in managing SE.
Results and Conclusions: There was an increase in the number of residents expressing confidence in their …

Phase 1
Purpose/Methods: Status Epilepticus (SE) represents a potentially fatal neurologic emergency. We aimed to create an educational simulation of SE for 9 PGY2 neurology residents. Scenarios included a patient with SE requiring adequate benzodiazepine dosing and another with seizures requiring IV anticonvulsant therapy. Subjects were dichotomized to groups who did and did not feel confident in clinical skills around SE. Knowledge was assessed with a multiple choice quiz. Confidence groups were analyzed with Fisher’s exact test. Quiz scores means were assessed with paired t-test.
Results: There was a trend towards significance in the proportion of residents expressing confidence in their ability …
Developing An Online Critical Care Electroencephalography Curriculum For Epilepsy And Neurophysiology Fellows, Anne Woehling, Brooke Hancock, Nathanael Lee, Md, Connie Tang, Md, Allyson Pickard, Md, Andres Fernandez, Md
Developing An Online Critical Care Electroencephalography Curriculum For Epilepsy And Neurophysiology Fellows, Anne Woehling, Brooke Hancock, Nathanael Lee, Md, Connie Tang, Md, Allyson Pickard, Md, Andres Fernandez, Md
Phase 1
Purpose: This project aims to create an Electroencephalography (EEG) curriculum that synthesizes the teachings of current publications and faculty expertise within a single digital platform. The goal is to remedy the unmet need for a centralized resource for learners to use when learning EEG interpretation.
Methods: The target learner population is epilepsy and neurophysiology fellows. The platform will be accessible from any computer, tablet, or phone, allowing for mobile, self-paced learning to take place. To date, the curriculum outline has been designed with extensive literature review and collaboration from other institutions, and two pilot modules have been completed using the …
An Educational Workshop To Improve Neurology Resident Knowledge And Understanding Of Burnout, Substance Abuse, And Mood Disorders, Shiori Tomatsu, Ryan Donaghy, Patrick Kerns, Md, Phd, Courtney White, Md
An Educational Workshop To Improve Neurology Resident Knowledge And Understanding Of Burnout, Substance Abuse, And Mood Disorders, Shiori Tomatsu, Ryan Donaghy, Patrick Kerns, Md, Phd, Courtney White, Md
Phase 1
Problem: Many medical residents are at risk for burnout, mood disorders, and substance abuse. We created an educational activity composed of an online module (OM), an interactive role-playing session (AL), and a video practicum (VP) to inform neurology residents on the aforementioned risks and available support resources. This project evaluates the efficacy of these tools.
Methods: PGY2 and PGY3 neurology residents were given OM. In addition, the PGY2 residents participated in AL. Three surveys were given to assess their knowledge about burnout before completing the module (Sur1), after AL session (Sur2), and after watching VP(Sur3).
Outcomes: More PGY2 residents scored …
