    How do you overcome the obstacles in providing quality healthcare to individuals with disabilities? Dr. Samantha Stallkamp, PGY-1 at the University of Rochester Neurology, shares her journey inspired by her sister with spina bifida and her mother with multiple sclerosis. This episode is a heartfelt exploration of how personal experiences fuel professional aspirations and advocacy.

    We discuss a shocking reality: only 40.7% of surveyed physicians felt ready to provide equitable care. Samantha brings forth the concept of the "adaptionary," a transformative video encyclopedia designed to teach adaptive medical techniques to healthcare providers for patients with disabilities. We also highlight the power of interprofessional education and collaboration in improving healthcare for disabled individuals.

    Discover the intricacies of small vessel ischemic disease and cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) with expert neurologist Dr. Andreas Charidimou.

    We dive into the everyday challenges faced by primary care physicians interpreting MRI results, offering expertise on distinguishing small vessel disease from migraine and demyelinating conditions, all while emphasizing the importance of correlating clinical symptoms with imaging for accurate diagnoses.

    Navigating cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) diagnosis, this episode sheds light on the inadequacies of the Boston criteria and the quest for reliable biomarkers. As we explore the importance of accurate CAA identification in the era of anti-amyloid therapies, we also offer insights into managing the blurred lines between transient neurological episodes, TIAs, seizures, and amyloid spells, with a special focus on the role of imaging and the nuanced prescription of anti-epileptic drugs.

    Dr. Andreas Charidimou is the recipient of the 2024 Michael S. Pessin Stroke Leadership Prize.

    Discover what happens when artificial intelligence (AI) meets the complex world of neurology as we chat with Dr. Braydon Dymm, a stroke neurologist interested in the intersection of AI, neurology, and education.

    We examine current uses of AI in clinical workflows, from interpreting scans to summarizing patient histories, showcasing the invaluable ways AI can enhance patient care. We also explore how AI tools are reshaping medical education and clinical practice. Imagine junior residents using AI to broaden their diagnostic skills, pushing the boundaries of their clinical reasoning. The discussion doesn't shy away from the tougher questions either—what does it mean for accountability in the medical profession when AI's advice is ignored, and how does such reliance alter relationships between doctors and patients? Join us as we navigate a whole new world together!
