127: Adapting Neuromuscular and Electrodiagnostic Medicine Education for Modern Learners

NeurologyLive® Mind Moments®

Welcome to the NeurologyLive® Mind Moments® podcast. Tune in to hear leaders in neurology sound off on topics that impact your clinical practice.
In this episode, Lawrence Robinson, MD, a senior scientist at Sunnybrook Research Institute, sat down to discuss his presentation from the 2024 American Association of Neuromuscular and Electrodiagnostic Medicine (AANEM) annual meeting, focused on educating the next generation of neuromuscular and electrodiagnostic (EDX) practitioners. Robinson gave an overview of his presentation, why this was a topic of interest, and the major differences in how this generation of medical students learn relative to previous ones. In addition, he discussed adapting to new learning styles, the benefits of flipped classrooms, and the impact of technology on education and practice. Furthermore, he touched upon the personal connections and humor in teaching, as well as ways to improve critical evaluation skills as a learner.
