AUPN's Leadership Minute is a brief, highly focused summary of practical advice for Chairs, Program Directors and other leaders in academic neurology, available as both mini-podcasts and in short form videos.
The goal of this program is to provide relevant and useful information in a modicum of time, designed to fit seamlessly into our very busy schedules.
NEUROLOGY PERSONAL STATEMENTS – GREATEST HITS
- Sherlock Holmes (“I love puzzles”)
- Oliver Sacks (“neurologists can talk to the diseased organ”)
- Brain – the final frontier (“new discoveries all the time”)
- The physical exam matters
- Long-term relationships (treat the patient, not the disease– focus on quality of life)
NEUROLOGY’S BAD RAPS (and how to use the Greatest Hits to address them)
- Too hard
- stress the puzzles: clinical reasoning, not pattern recognition
- minimize the esoterica: https://neurologic.med.umich.edu/
- Too sad
- final frontier
- focus on quality of life
- Too futile
- ditto (and welcome to medicine)
