A Qualitative Examination Detailing Medical Student Experiences of a Novel Competency-Based Neuroanatomy eLearning Intervention Designed to Bridge a Gap Within an Integrated Medical Curriculum

摘要

A 1-year time-gap between first- and second-year neuroanatomy courses was created at our institution as a result of restructuring the curriculum from systems-based to an integrated format. Additionally, neuroanatomy hours decreased significantly (48.8%) when transitioning to an integrated curriculum, similar to other medical schools. Competency-based eLearning in medical education has shown promising results with decreasing overall learning time and improving accuracy. To date, competency-based eLearning has not yet been explored in neuroanatomy education.
