Spotlight on Peer Mentorship in Neurology Residency

V. Lau Leave a Comment

Dr. Reshma Narula presents her work today on peer mentorship at Medical Education Day at Yale 2016 sponsored by the Teaching and Learning Center.

Last year, she designed a program matching entering junior residents with seniors. Among several encouraged activities, seniors helped new resident neurologists identify hospital and community resources, guided them through workflow and clinical issues, and offered early career advice. Met with significant positive feedback, her work had also been previously presented at an education conference in Rhode Island last month.

Yale Neurology publishes 50 Studies Every Neurologist Should Know today. Led by faculty members Drs. David Hwang and David Greer, sixteen Yale neurology residents collaborated to author this collection of 50 “must know” clinical trials that shape the practice of clinical neurology today. The book covers all subspecialties with special emphasis on neurocritical care and vascular neurology.

Current residents who participated on the large-scale project include Drs. Benjamin Blond, Shivani Ghoshal, Mark Landreneau, Brian MacGrory and Ashish Ranpura. Prior residents include Drs. Hardik Amin, Allison Arch, Daniel Brooks, Sarah Buckingham, Amy Chan, Irene Chan, Robert Claycomb, Matthew Kalp, Joshua Lovinger, Sarah Mulukutla and Kimberly Robeson. Current fellow Dr. Teddy Youn also participated.
