About CRESCENT

Consortium for Research and Education in Simulation Promoting Excellence in Neurology Training

Our Mission

A Collaborative Network

To create a collaborative network of neurology educators who utilize, research, and develop expertise in simulation.

Our Vision

Improving Patient Care

To improve the care of patients with neurological disorders through simulation science.

Who We Are

A Collaborative Community

CRESCENT is a collaborative community of neurology educators dedicated to advancing simulation-based training, research, and faculty development. The consortium brings together clinician educators and researchers to strengthen the role of simulation in neurology and to build shared expertise across institutions.
