Wednesday, September 6, 2023

NEW YORK, Sept. 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- A new physician-training system in telehealth simulates key parts of traditional, in-person neurological exams that use little reflex hammers, pinpricks, and flashlights to test nerve function. The three-year program, which was designed by researchers at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, has trained at least 68 neurology residents since its rollout in 2020. Published online Aug. 3 in Neurology Education, a new analysis of the curriculum identifies challenges to translating in-person exam techniques that use hands-on tools to an online setting, and proposes solutions.

Key Points: 
  • Published online Aug. 3 in Neurology Education, a new analysis of the curriculum identifies challenges to translating in-person exam techniques that use hands-on tools to an online setting, and proposes solutions.
  • While virtual healthcare technology has existed in some form for decades, physicians still receive little formal training in its use.
  • According to the authors of the new report, this poses challenges for specialties like neurology that rely on physical interactions and sometimes subtle reactions by patients.
  • To develop a teleneurology curriculum that overcomes these challenges, the researchers included a range of educational methods such as reading materials, supervised clinical visits, and prerecorded role-play demonstrations performed by faculty members to showcase best practices.
