“…Furthermore, our program provides global health exposure from the start of neurology training, thus overcoming the limitations of delayed exposure, which is less likely to result in a sustained commitment to global health. 10 Finally, this program primarily focuses on educational benefits to the Johns Hopkins neurology residents as a novel addition to their formal residency program educational curriculum. While the Zambian neurology residents also benefit from the series, having Zambian neurology residents attend morning reports in which Hopkins neurology residents present cases would increase the bi-directionality of this exchange.…”

“…Costs, logistics, elective time, and, more recently, COVID-19associated travel restrictions are all major barriers to participation, even among highly motivated trainees. [7][8][9][10] With <10% of neurology trainees participating, 4 only trainees with the greatest preexisting interest and exposure to global health are likely to benefit from such exchanges. Other global neurology training opportunities are vastly limited for trainees unwilling or unable to complete in-person electives.…”

Training in Neurology: Resident Perception of the Utility and Applicability of Global Neurology Morning Reports

Interest in global health is increasing among neurology residents. However, funding, time, and, recently, COVID-19 travel restrictions, remain barriers to widespread participation. To meet this need, we instituted virtual global neurology morning reports with the objectives of (1) improving knowledge about neurological diseases common in sub-Saharan Africa; and (2) developing clinical reasoning skills through consideration of diagnostic and therapeutic limitations in resource-limited settings. Interactive case-based sessions were presented from Zambia via videoconference by a Johns Hopkins faculty member or Zambian neurology trainee. An anonymous cross-sectional survey was conducted among Johns Hopkins neurology residents. Of eligible participants, 69% (n=30) completed the survey, 66% of whom were female, and 33% reported prior in-person global health experience. While most participants did not anticipate a career in global health, the majority (85%) reported that exposure to global health was important. All but one participant (96%) reported satisfaction with the global neurology morning reports, with 100% reporting they were useful to their clinical knowledge and 86% reporting they were useful to their clinical practice. All respondents felt morning reports should continue, and 69% ranked the educational value of the experience in the top quartile of the residency curriculum. Resident satisfaction with and perceived utility of global neurology morning reports were high even though the majority did not plan to pursue global neurology opportunities as part of their career. Remote learning opportunities may increase interest in global health among neurology residents.
