The University of Toledo and one of its faculty members are being recognized nationally for research and advising in the Neurology Department.<\/p>\n

Ali<\/p><\/div>Dr. Imran Ali, professor of neurology, director of student clerkship, and associate dean of clinical medical education, professionalism and diversity, recently received an award from the American Academy of Neurology for his outstanding performance in neurology clerkship.<\/P><\/p>\n

\u201cImran is the consummate neurology clerkship director,\u201d wrote Dr. Ralph J\u00f3zefowicz, chair of the American Academy of Neurology Education Committee and professor of neurology at the University of Rochester Medical Center in New York, who recommended Ali for the honor. \u201cHe has made The University of Toledo neurology clerkship arguably the best clinical clerkship at the University and one of the highest rated neurology clerkships in the nation.\u201d<\/p>\n

The American Academy of Neurology\u2019s Clerkship Director Teaching Award is given to one person every year based on a selective process through a committee that assesses testimony.<\/p>\n

In his nomination letter, J\u00f3zefowicz wrote, \u201c63 percent of the graduating Toledo medical students rated the neurology clerkship as excellent, compared with the national average of 33 percent, and Toledo medical students have beat the national mean on the shelf exam for the past five years.\u201d <\/p>\n

J\u00f3zefowicz also pointed out that Ali has \u201cmade numerous improvements to the clerkship program, from incorporating the American Academy of Neurology core curriculum to assigning students to outpatient clinics to using technologies for teaching and assessment.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe also moved the clerkship from a four-week, fourth-year clerkship to a five-week, third-year rotation two years ago, increasing the number of students interested in neurology from two to three per year to eight to 10 per year,\u201d J\u00f3zefowicz wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am quite proud of [the award] and that The University of Toledo got recognition as well. It is quite an honor and a prestigious award. It is humbling and makes one feel good about their work,\u201d Ali said.<\/p>\n
