IN-HOME-PDCaregivers: The effects of a combined home visit and peer mentoring intervention for caregivers of homebound individuals with advanced Parkinson's disease.

Introduction: Family caregivers of people with advanced Parkinson's Disease (PD) are at high risk of caregiver strain, which independently predicts adverse patient outcomes. We tested the effects of one year of interdisciplinary, telehealth-enhanced home visits (IN-HOME-PD) with 16 weeks of peer mentoring on caregiver strain compared with usual care.

Methods: We enrolled homebound people with advanced PD (PWPD) and their primary caregiver as IN-HOME-PD dyads.

Education Research: An experiential outpatient teleneurology curriculum for residents.

Objective: Telemedicine is rapidly becoming a major vehicle of delivering neurologic care to patients who have limited access to subspecialists and exaggerated travel hardship. However, neurology residents receive little to no training in telemedicine in outpatient clinics.

Methods: We piloted, to our knowledge, the first formalized, experiential outpatient teleneurology curriculum.
