Creating ophthalmology experiences in undergraduate medical education: pilot of a cased-based learning ophthalmology tool.

Purpose: To evaluate medical student perceptions of a novel ophthalmology resource delivered through facilitated workshops in the core clerkship curriculum.

Methods: We created www.2020sim.

Variation in US acute ischemic stroke treatment by hospital regions: limited endovascular access despite evidence.

Background: Although national organizations recognize the importance of regionalized acute ischemic stroke (AIS) care, data informing expansion are sparse. We assessed real-world regional variation in emergent AIS treatment, including growth in revascularization therapies and stroke center certification. We hypothesized that we would observe overall growth in revascularization therapy utilization, but observed differences would vary greatly regionally.

Curriculum Innovations: "Eye"-ing Enhanced Educational Methods for Neurology Trainees: Pilot of an Online, Case-based Neuro-ophthalmology Interactive Workshop.

Introduction And Problem Statement: Common and potentially life-threatening neurologic conditions often present with neuro-ophthalmologic manifestations. Given the growing shortage of neurologists, and specifically neuro-ophthalmologists, it is important that students who will be at the front lines of these complaints are comfortable assessing such patients. We developed a neuro-ophthalmology learning intervention composed of an interactive workshop that discussed novel, online case-based modules.

High Risk Features Contributing to 30-Day Readmission After Acute Ischemic Stroke: A Single Center Retrospective Case-Control Study.

Background And Purpose: Risk of 30-day stroke readmission has been attributed to medical comorbidities, stroke severity, and hospitalization metrics. The leading etiologies appear to vary across institutions and remain a moving target. We hypothesized that patients with increased medical complexity have higher odds of 30-day readmission and the immediate time after discharge may be most vulnerable.

Key Insights From the Development and Implementation of a Novel Virtual Interview Process for Medical School Admissions During the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Problem: During the COVID-19 pandemic, medical schools have offered a virtual application process. Minimal literature is available to guide best practices.

Approach: The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (ISMMS) implemented a completely virtual interview (VI) process in April/May 2020.

Acute Cerebrovascular Events With COVID-19 Infection.

Background And Purpose: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been associated with an increased incidence of thrombotic events, including stroke. However, characteristics and outcomes of COVID-19 patients with stroke are not well known.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective observational study of risk factors, stroke characteristics, and short-term outcomes in a large health system in New York City.

Real-time Assessment of Neurology Residents' Perceptions of Inappropriate Consults.

Background: We sought to characterize perceptions of inappropriate neurology consults of neurology residents (NR) and requesting providers (RP) immediately following the consult interaction.

Methods: Student investigators were embedded in the Mount Sinai neurology consult service for 4 weeks in May/June 2018. For each consecutive neurology consult the NR's real-time attitudes toward the consult were evaluated with a survey using Likert scales.
