A Different Kind of Brain Mapping: Curriculum Mapping in Neurology Residency Education.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

We developed a curriculum map of the neurology residency program's academic half-day (AHD) at our institution from 2018 to 2024 to assess topic coverage and identify gaps relative to board certification content.

Methods

We cataloged 280 unique AHD lectures over 6 years, recording attributes including title, date, duration, speaker, and subspecialty. These were compared against the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology (ABPN) certification blueprint using chi-square analysis.

Results

The 280 lectures totaled 358.5 h. We found significant differences across multiple subspecialties. Content categorized as "Questions not associated with a specific neurologic disorder" (4.93%) was overrepresented (P < .05), while topics on metabolic disorders (0.26%),
