ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:

Strong performance in neurosurgical sub-internships is a vital component of a successful residency application and requires adequate familiarity with clinical knowledge and technical skills that may not be covered in standard medical school curricula. Accordingly, a need exists for immersive and comprehensive sub-internship preparation programs that respect time and resource limitations, are optimized based on longitudinal student feedback, provide opportunities for mentorship, and foster enthusiasm for neurosurgery. Therefore, residents at a single institution designed and implemented a comprehensive curriculum for a one-day sub-internship academy.

METHODS:

Academy curriculum involved hands-on and discussion-based elements split into three workshops. Anonymous surveys were conducted immediately following the academy and upon completion of sub-internships to evaluate participant perceptions on the utility of the academy.

RESULTS:

Twelve medical students participated in the inaugural neurosurgery sub-internship academy. Nine responded to the immediate post-survey, which revealed the following ratings the overall program was rated as having maximal impact on sub-internship readiness and enthusiasm for neurosurgery by eight (88.9%) and seven (77.8%) respondents, respectively. A largely positive impact on access to mentorship was observed. Six participants responded to a post-sub-internship survey, and all six indicated they agreed or strongly agreed that the academy prepared them to perform well.

CONCLUSIONS:

Student perceptions of the relevance and utility of the sub-internship academy were positive, and the program fostered enthusiasm for neurosurgery and provided opportunities for mentorship. The participants indicated the academy positively impacted their sub-internship performance, and areas for improvement to guide future iterations of the academy were identified.
