Over this period, the journal has grown and expanded considerably.At the conclusion of its second year, there is so much to celebrate and many exciting advances planned in the coming year.This issue of Neurology: Education includes a series of articles that reflect the breadth of topics being discussed in the education literature in clinical neuroscience education today.The Viewpoint article kicks off a perspective on artificial intelligence (AI) in medical education by discussing opportunities and challenges posed by AI in neurologic education. 1It is a conversation starter for any educator today.The research articles begin with a study addressing the rising cost of medical education and focuses on neurology-bound trainees.Concerning trends are reported with an increasingly concentrated burden of educational debt for trainees from lower-income families and those identifying as underrepresented in medicine. 2This article highlights a significant challenge facing all fields and creating challenges for workforce sufficiency, provider diversity, specialist retention, and a potentially impending policy crisis.Two articles set the stage for future curricular innovations and provide important initial data for completing Kern's 6 steps in curriculum development.Needs assessment data are presented to fill a gap in how residents are trained to care for patients with psychogenic nonepileptic spells (PNESs).This study provides data from a sample of trainees and program directors on preferred methods, timing, and instructional strategies for teaching the care of patients with PNES. 3 A survey-based study in the United States and Canada addresses training gaps in neurodevelopmental disabilities and provides a roadmap for future curriculum work. 4ucators in the clinical neurosciences are not just focusing on the hard skills.A novel patient teach-back method is described in the next article providing hard evidence on how to teach the soft skills in the neurology clerkship.This teach-back approach empowered clerkship students to learn from patients at the bedside and could be a model for others. 5Finally, a group of authors describes a novel approach to using morning report to create a question of the week program in 1 neurology training program. 6This article melds concepts in microlearning, social learning, and the critical skill of distilling a complex case into a discrete learning nugget.There are implications not only for morning report conferences but how distillation of information to generate a testable question can be a teaching tool broadly.
