  1. Knowledge of geriatric neurology improved through use of both • geriatric neurology didactic lectures and web-module presentation • of these topics • Post-test scores between the two curricula were not significantly • different • Therefore, the geriatric neurology web-module appears to be an • effective means of educating third-year medical students in • geriatric neurology topics Geriatric Neurology Web Module for Third-Year Neurology Clerkship Heather S. Anderson, MD, Mary McDonald, MDUniversity of Kansas School of Medicine Comparison of Students Background Web Module • Geriatric neurology is increasingly important given the aging • population • At the University of Kansas School of Medicine, topics relevant to • geriatric neurology are not delivered in a cohesive, consistent manner • With an only 2 week neurology clerkship in the 3rd year of medical • school at KU, use of a web module would be ideal to deliver • geriatric neurology education • No similar web module has been created to address geriatric • neurology in medical education www2.kumc.edu/coa/Education/AMED900/Neurology • Parkinson’s disease • Stroke • Dementia • Peripheral neuropathy • Neck and back pain • Sleep disorders • Temporal arteritis • Cranial nerve disorders • Delirium • Localization of a lesion Comparison of Curricula Purpose of Study • Create and implement a web-based module designed to instruct • 3rd year medical students in 10 topics critical to general and • geriatric neurology • Assess the effectiveness of the web module instruction of geriatric • neurology Methods Summary and Conclusions • A web module containing 10 geriatric neurology topics was created • Prior to initiation of the web module, 20 third-year medical students • enrolled in the neurology clerkship were taught using a standard • didactic lecture series. • Students were administered a 10 question pre- and post-test questionnaire to assess their knowledge of geriatric neurology topics • After implementation of the web module, the first 15 third-year • medical students enrolled in the neurology clerkship were taught • geriatric neurology only through the web module. • Students were administered the same pre- and post-test questionnaire to compare performance before and after implementation of the teaching tool Acknowledgements This study was supported by the Kansas Reynold's Program in Aging.
