Rebecca Marie DiBiase, MD/MPH

I am passionate about stroke recovery/rehabilitation and international medical education. I was an investigator in a clinical trial in exploring stroke recovery prognostic measures and am currently involved in research projects to identify novel ways of improving and expanding access to rehabilitation for stroke survivors.

I have also built multiple curricula for medical trainees both locally and internationally. In my academic chief resident role, I developed the neurology lecture series for the residency program at Northwestern University. I was also involved in teaching curricula for nurses, emergency medicine advanced practice providers, Psychiatry residents, and Internal Medicine residents and designed a lecture for medical ICU fellows that was adopted at three U.S. academic institutions. As a fellow, I gave multiple teaching lecture series for other fellows and attendings and designed an educational intervention for nurses and advanced practice providers that successfully decreased opiate prescriptions for patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage-induced headaches. I have also designed curricula internationally in Istanbul, China, and Zambia, and have worked closely with Zambia's first neurology residency program. I have published many of my educational interventions in peer-reviewed academic
