“…To combat neurophobia syndrome, evidence-based educational intervention to improve neurology teachings in addition to effective quality mentorship programs would certainly provide a positive educational journey in fostering neurophilia. The implementation of mentorship programs[ 44 45 ] would be a “specific pathway” to facilitate student productivity in clinical research and personal growth. It will also notably garner interest in the 3 rd and 4 th year undergraduate medical students and motivate them to pursue an academic career in neurology, thus enabling increased medical student recruitment into neurology specialization in India.…”

“…(2) The dynamic interaction and vivid, content-rich multimedia teaching provided by Web-based technology can increase students' interest in learning and receive better learning results. The literature [26] puts forward a similar view and argues that big data provides a foundation for scientific, and educational decision-making and allows personalization of teaching management and educational services. The literature [27] suggests that big data education is a double-edged sword for education and makes an objective and fair evaluation of it.…”

The advent of the era of big data has had an important impact on the education mode, education management methods, and education thinking paths of college ideology and politics. In this paper, an innovative platform for the theoretical practice of ideological and political education based on the background of big data is constructed by a B/S (browser/server) architecture system, which first accesses the server database and executes the application. Secondly, UML (Unified Modeling Language) modeling is established, and static and dynamic modeling are used to realize the use of distance learning systems. Finally, the important branches of FCM algorithm modeling are applied to optimize the problem using cluster transformation, and the system is examined for data. The results show that the platform constructed in this paper can make students’ awareness of teaching contents reach 75%, attention reach 53%, the overall effect of teaching reach 88%, and the average value of online examination score is 7.2 in the teaching system. Thus, the platform constructed in this paper can help promote the theoretical practice of ideological and political education in colleges and universities and can better propose new ideas and methods for ideological and political education.

“… 12 - 14 Additionally, exposure to neurosurgery-specific educational activities and formalized curricula fosters involvement, knowledge and interest among medical students. 15 - 17 Moreover, preclinical surgical electives with hands-on procedural components can leave powerful, long-lasting positive impressions on students and their career choices, which extends beyond the scope of shadowing experiences. 18 Overall, literature suggests that preclinical electives have a favorable effect on student interest, yet these electives remain under-utilized and understudied.…”

Introduction: Medical student involvement opportunities and educational experiences with surgical residents during medical school have been shown to increase the chance of students deciding to specialize in surgical specialties. This study aims to determine the effect of a neurosurgery elective during the second preclinical year on student interest and opinion of neurosurgery. Methods: Thirty-nine students completed opinion-based surveys and factual knowledge quizzes during a neurosurgical elective course over 3 iterations, which included lecture and skills lab instruction. Pre- and post-course surveys used the Likert scale, with a score of 1 corresponding to the most negative opinion and a score of 10 corresponding to the most positive opinion, in order to measure various aspects including interest in neurological surgery, understanding of the field, and perception of female inclusion in the field. Weekly pre- and post-lecture quizzes assessed practical knowledge of neurosurgical topics. Results: A higher percentage of students rated neurosurgery highly as a career possibility (⩾8/10 interest level) post-course (58.6%) compared to pre-course (45.7%). Post-course, students reported a significantly increased mean understanding of neurosurgery on the Likert scale compared to pre-course (6.1 ± 1.7 vs 4.4 ± 2.0; P = .001). Knowledge based-content assessment revealed a significant increase in overall correct answers after lectures (meanpre = 3.85, meanpost = 5.05, P = .001). Inclusion of female instructors in the second and third iteration of the course resulted in a significant increase in students’ perception of female inclusion in the field of neurosurgery (7.6 compared to 5.6, P = .01). Conclusions: Early exposure to subspecialties may assist in making important career decisions. The implementation of this neurosurgical elective improved medical students’ perception of the field and enhanced knowledge of the lectures and procedures. This study can be used as a framework for implementation of this curriculum at other institutions.
