This study is assessing factors that attract and deter medical students from pursuing neurosurgery! If interested in participating, please fill out this quick survey that should take no more than 10 minutes. Data will be used to assess factors important to medical students in order to implement measures that will inform current practices in teaching and involving students in neurosurgery.
The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has created significant obstacles within medical education. For medical students interested in pursuing neurosurgery as a specialty, educational policies surrounding COVID-19 present unique challenges. This study utilizes a nationwide survey to identify concerns held by students interested in pursuing neurosurgery during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Can distance learning provide comparable and more equitable education for future neurosurgeons?Increasing specialization of medicine means fewer medical students enter general medicine/surgery internships while more transition directly into postgraduate training programs of their specialty (i.e. neurosurgery). This has led to an increasing knowledge gap between medical students
The factors that attract and concern medical students about a career in neurosurgery have never been clearly characterized or delineated in a large nationwide cohort of medical students intending to pursue a career in neurosurgery. The objective of the present study was to characterize the factors that influence medical student interest in neurosurgery and assess the effects of a formal neurosurgery training
Medical students have little structured exposure to clinical neurological surgery prior to sub-internships. This prompted the development of the Medical Student Neurosurgery Training Camp. In the second year of this course, we aimed to improve the curriculum by increasing the hands-on experience and reduce travel burden with geographical expansion.
Historically, medical student education in neurological surgery has generally limited student involvement to assisting in research projects with minimal formal clinical exposure before starting sub-internships and application for the neurosurgery match. Consequently, students have generally had little opportunity to acquire exposure to clinical neurosurgery and attain minimal proficiency. A medical student training
