Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has a disruptive effect on neurology education, necessitating creative adjustments in the delivery of education, clinical training, and well-being. In this article, a group of educators reflects on challenges and lessons learned on teaching, well-being, and telemedicine, and how these can shape the future of neurology education. Developing standardized, rigorous evaluation of teaching methods and telemedicine, reinforcing well-being resources, and promoting international educational collaborations can improve neurology training during and after the pandemic.
