Teaching headache

Key messages

• The field of neurology underlines clinical and basic science and is, therefore, an important subject to be taught to medical students.
• Migraine aura is the neurological signature of migraine and plays a pivotal role in migraine diagnosis in a subset of patients.
• Patient case studies remain an invaluable educational tool, demonstrating both classical and unusual migraine presentations that provide a source for differential diagnosis discussion.
• Basic teaching concepts will remain in the future, but educational resources will move to a more remote online format that also allows for live case-based discussion.
