Resident Education
As of academic year 2023-2024, we have transitioned into an Academic ½ Day (AHD) for our Neurology residents and away from the standard noon conference format of the past! We are one of the few neurology programs in the country that follow an AHD format. The AHD is held in-person, on Tuesdays between 12:30 and 4:30 PM. Residents are protected from clinical responsibilities during this time.
The AHD curriculum has been carefully designed to ensure it is (1) clinically relevant and (2) multi-directional and interactive. Faculty serve as facilitators for each academic ½ day.
Each academic ½ day has a specific format which consists of "Core" blocks (fixed weekly) and "Flex" blocks (varies week to week).
Below is a summary of the AHD format:
| 12:30 - 1:30 | 1 | Core | Continuum of Care | 60 min | Solve clinical scenarios in teams using a Continuum article |
| 1:30 - 2:00 | 2 | Core | Trials & Tribulations | 30 min | Quick review of relevant clinical trials |
| 2:00 -3:00 | 3 |
Core | Debate | 60 min | Question; two sides debate opposing views |
| 3:00 - 3:30 |
4 | Flex | Flex Block 1 | 30 or 60 min | |
| 3:30 - 4:00 | 5 | Flex | Flex Block 2 | 30 or 60 min | |
| 4:00 - 4:30 | 6 | Core | Afternoon Report | 30 min | Structured 30-min adaptation of "Morning Report" |
