Course Description: The OSLER Neurology rotation, is a rotation was created at John
Hopkins. The course aims to bring this experience to Augusta University at the Medical
College of Georgia, and unique to the AU MCG apprenticeship, is the ability of the
apprenticeship students to work alongside residents on a common educational project
linking educational goals of UME and GME.
Osler Apprentices (OAs) in neurology, is an opportunity for senior medical students
with an interest in academic medicine education to gain experience and exposure to
the technical, administrative, and educational skills central to pursuing a clinician
educator academic pathway. Neurology is an often very intimidating specialty for learners.
Responsibilities include assisting with expanding medical education materials for
neurology for learners of all levels, building educational content that engages both
the UME and GME aspects of medical education, and potentially building research project
in medical education.
Medical students are often engaged in medical education from the vantage point of
the "learner," occasionally as the "educator" during their subI rotation.
The OSLER Apprenticeship in Neurology, aims to allow medical students to become fully
immersed in education as they create projects designed to foster learning in their
peers.
As a part of the practicum, the medical student will create a project, which may target
many different audiences: medical students, non-neurology faculty, neurology residents,
as well as off-service resident rotators from other services who engage in neurology
(anesthesia, family medicine, psychiatry, emergency medicine).
