Clinical and Educational Advantages of Simulations in Training the Next Generation of Neurologists: Nuri Jacoby, MD

WATCH TIME: 3 minutes

"Simulations give learners the chance to practice, get feedback, and move beyond passive learning. They’re an essential tool for the next generation of medical education."

Neurology education and training are increasingly embracing innovative methods such as simulation-based learning, competency-focused assessments, and leadership development workshops. These approaches move beyond traditional knowledge evaluation to emphasize skills in communication, decision-making, and team-based care.

The 2025 Association of University Professors of Neurology (AUPN) Annual Meeting, set for September 13^th in Baltimore, Maryland, will bring together academic leaders across roles for leadership-focused sessions. Among them include a Program Director Workship, chaired by Nuri Jacoby, MD, which focuses on simulations to evaluate competencies beyond medical knowledge. Alongside Jacoby, the session will feature other well-regarded leaders, including Jeremy Moeller, MD, and David Lerner, MD.

In an interview with NeurologyLive^®, Jacoby provided insights on what clinical skills healthcare professionals can gain through this session. Jacoby, a neurologist at Maimonides Medical Center and SUNY Downstate, detailed the structure of the workshop, where attendees will learn foundational concepts, create their own simulations, and observe a live demonstration. He also commented on how experimental learning and new technologies like AI are shaping neurology education for a new generation of learners.
