About

Physician-led education for the transition from knowing to doing.

VignetteRx was created for medical learners who have accumulated knowledge but need a clearer way to use it in clinical settings.

Medical educators and learners working together
Why VignetteRx exists

Learners deserve more than more questions, more videos, or more generic advice.

They deserve to understand how they reason, how they communicate, how they work within systems of care, and what to practice next.

Our work is grounded in original simulated cases, facilitated reflection, structured feedback, deliberate practice, and transfer to new scenarios.

Reason clearly. Perform consistently.

Our mission

Help medical learners and medical education programs develop clearer, safer, more structured clinical performance through educational assessment, guided practice, targeted repair, and transfer.

Our vision

A medical education system in which transition support and remediation begin with a clear educational formulation rather than vague labels or generic extra work.

Our values

Precision, dignity, transparency, fairness, accountability, and scientific development.

Precision

Define the educational need before selecting the intervention.

Dignity

Do not reduce a learner to a score, label, or difficult period.

Transparency

Explain what was assessed, observed, uncertain, and recommended.

Educational fairness

Match support to demonstrated needs and maintain clear expectations.

Accountability

Specify actions, timelines, feedback, evidence, reassessment, and escalation.

Scientific development

Improve the framework through quality review, outcomes data, research, and responsible claims.

Leadership

Dr. Duff earned her medical degree from I.M. Sechenov First Moscow State Medical University and her PhD in Neurophysiology from Georg-August University of Göttingen, Germany.

Her mentorship helps trainees identify not only what they need to learn, but how they reason through uncertainty, organize clinical information, communicate their thinking, recover from errors, and develop professional confidence over time.

As Director of the North American Neuromodulation Society Journal Club, Dr. Duff built a national educational platform of monthly live online webinars. The NANS Journal Club series remains available online.

Her broader educational leadership includes mentoring through the NANS Mentorship Program, contributing to NANS educational initiatives, serving as Pediatric Section Editor for the NANS Newsletter, and participating as faculty and organizer for pediatric neuromodulation seminars within NANS and the Child Neurology Society. Across these roles, she has built learning environments that are rigorous, accessible, discussion-based, and directly connected to clinical decision-making.

At VignetteRx, Dr. Duff leads the educational model, clinical content standards, faculty development, and learner-performance strategy. She ensures that the company is not simply a tutoring service or content platform. Its programs are designed to detect the source of a learner’s difficulty, diagnose the underlying reasoning or performance pattern, prescribe targeted practice, support repair, and verify progress in clinically relevant settings.

Through VignetteRx, Dr. Duff is building a clinically credible, academically grounded educational platform that prepares the next generation of physicians to reason clearly and perform consistently.
