Capstone Project

• Testable hypothesis
• Defined data collection methods
• Analysis of results
• Well-structured discussion and conclusion
• Final work to be submitted as an abstract or manuscript publication to one of the following:
  • Regional/state/national/international conference
  • Wisconsin Neurological Society Annual Meeting (https://www.wiscneuro.org/event-6005480)
  • UW Neurology Departmental Research Day
  • UW Medical Education Day (https://intranet.med.wisc.edu/medical-education-day/)

It is highly recommended to utilize the Curriculum Development for Medical Education: A Six-Step Approach as a framework to guide project design and implementation

• Neurobites series: short-form educational content
• Teaching the basic science and pathophysiology of common neurologic conditions
• Creation of nursing education lectures focused on high-yield neurologic topics
• Development of RITE-style questions following key lectures
• Administrative/GME curriculum development
• Create brief presentations/content available for medical students when they are on inpatient rotations
• Development of MadNeurons website (http://https://madneurons.wordpress.com/)
• CBL case development

Semi-annual check-in meetings will take place in March and August with the Education Teaching Track group providing an opportunity for peer and faculty feedback to support ongoing development and refinement of the capstone project.

Prior to the meeting, the resident will provide a brief written update to their assigned Education Track mentor. During the meeting, each resident will deliver an update on their project, including any preliminary data or results.
