Background Neurology residents are expected to teach, but standardized programs on teaching skills are only available at some institutions. The AAN RET Workgroup created a series of webinars for resident members of the AAN interested in teaching and education.

Objective To describe the outcomes from the first year of implementation of the ��ɫ�� (AAN) Resident as Educator Training (RET) curriculum.

Design/Methods Five synchronous and one asynchronous webinars were created. These addressed three levels of competency: (1) teaching skills, feedback, and role modeling; (2) learning theories, best evidence medical education, and reflective practice; and (3) educational leadership, scholarship, and mentoring. A survey about demographics and teaching skills was given before the first webinar. Participation was recorded on AAN NeuroTracker.

Results

The survey got 49/105 responses (59% females and 59% younger than 30, mainly from Adult Neurology programs). Residents were at different levels of training, mainly PGY-2 (20%) and PGY-3 (37%); 45% were US medical school graduates, and 49% were non-US IMGs. Seventy-three percent did not have previous training in teaching skills, and 98% were interested in a career in medical education; 91% considered training in teaching as “very important.” The first, second, and third synchronous sessions were attended by 105, 49, and 40 participants, respectively, and 17 participants watched the fourth (asynchronous) session.

Conclusions Neurology residents recognize the importance of training on how to teach for their careers. A virtual educational series is a valuable tool to increase access and provide standardized training for future teachers and medical educators. The AAN RET serves as a resource for residency programs with no available formal education in teaching skills and a complimentary tool for those with institutional resident-as-educator tracks. The AAN RET Workgroup will focus on increasing the program's outreach with improved communication and collaboration with US neurology program directors.
