{Reference Type}: Journal Article {Title}: High-Yield, Case-Based, Interactive Workshop on Telehealth and Teleneurology With Pediatric Resident Physicians. {Author}: Wang SK;Goodrich RC;Strauss LD;Martindale JM; {Journal}: MedEdPORTAL {Volume}: 19 {Issue}: 0 {Year}: 2023 暂无{DOI}: 10.15766/mep_2374-8265.11340 {Abstract}: Increasing prevalence of neurologic disorders with an aging global population and limited availability of neurologists may lead to worse patient outcomes. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, telehealth services surged, and despite easing public health measures, the demand has remained. Telehealth technology has the potential to close the physical gaps in expanding the reach of care. This academic half-day workshop sought to provide a learning opportunity in response to these concerns.
The workshop consisted of small- and large-group case discussions among pediatric resident physicians (PGY 1-PGY 3) moderated by two child neurology faculty physicians over Zoom. Participants received a learner document with prereading articles and questions for each case. PowerPoint presentations with video demonstrations were used to introduce the cases and guide discussions.
Of the 25 attendees, 14 (56% response rate) answered a nonmandatory postsession survey. Eighty-six percent of the respondents were very or extremely satisfied with the content covered and were similarly satisfied with the effectiveness of content delivery. Seventy-nine percent of the respondents found the content helpful or very helpful in preparation for the board, and 93% anticipated applying the content covered occasionally or frequently in their clinical practice.
Small-group discussions with video demonstrations are helpful in increasing proficiency with telehealth technology and in examining board-relevant cases on pediatric patients. There is strong interest in subsequent telehealth half-day workshops that incorporate teaching through group discussions on relevant patient case scenarios.
