Neurology Digital Education Collaborative

Digital skills for the neurologist you already are.

NDEC helps neurologists use digital tools to teach more effectively, extend their reach, and get recognized for the work they're already doing — through a hands-on community and the nine-month NDESP Scholars Program.

Now reviewing applications for our 2026–2027 cohort

100+ NDESP applications across four cohorts
9 months 12 sessions, built for a busy clinical schedule
4 focus areas: clinical care, research, education, advocacy

Where we help

You already know digital tools could help. You don't have time to test all of them.

NDEC curates and teaches what's worth learning — across every part of a neurologist's work.

Clinical care

Save time and improve how you connect with patients, with tools built for real visits — not tech demos.

Research

Platforms to design studies, manage collaborators, and share findings with the audiences who need them.

Education

Turn dense neurology concepts into content learners actually remember — no design degree required.

Advocacy

Extend your voice — writing, design, and social strategy that carries your message further.
