The Guest Editor of this issue of Seminars in Neurology is Dr. Jeremy Moeller from Yale.

Dr. Moeller is Assistant Professor of Neurology at Yale University School of Medicine. He has been the Program Director for the Neurology Residency Program there since 2014, when I had the honor of handing over the reins to him. I could not have been more at ease with that choice, as Jeremy is a natural educator and mentor, and has quickly established himself as one of the leading program directors in the United States.

Dr. Moeller received his undergraduate degree from St. Francis Xavier University in Physics and Biology, and his medical degree from Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia in 2004. He most recently received an MSc from the University of Edinburgh in Clinical Education in 2016. He completed his residency at Dalhousie University Faculty of Medicine, followed by a fellowship in Epilepsy and Clinical Neurophysiology from Columbia University Medical Center in New York. He then returned to Dalhousie University as Assistant Professor before being recruited to Yale in 2013, where he has quickly established himself as a leader in Epilepsy as well as Medical Education. In 2017, he was appointed Vice Chairman of Education in the Department of Neurology at Yale. He has won numerous teaching awards at Yale, both on departmental and medical school levels. He has published extensively in the field of medical education, and was a natural choice to guest edit this issue, the first of its kind in Seminars in Neurology.

When Jeremy and I first discussed Neurology Education as a potential topic, it quickly became clear to us that we could do something truly impactful and novel. Neurology, perhaps like no other branch of medicine, is made for teaching and innovation, including in various settings ranging from the bedside to the lecture hall to the handheld device. I could not be more pleased with the collection of manuscripts here, by true experts in the field, which provide insights to the changing field of education impacted by the rising millennials and advances in technology. Jeremy has navigated these issues expertly, and I'm so grateful for his herculean efforts here, as well as his enduring friendship. I greatly appreciate the efforts of Dr. Moeller, as well as all of the contributing authors, for their great work in this issue of Seminars. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
