Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Medical Education
  • Neurology

Background:

  • Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a vital neurosurgical treatment for movement and psychiatric disorders.
  • Current medical education may not adequately prepare students for DBS implementation.
  • Lack of assessment on student understanding of DBS poses a risk to future patient access.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess medical students' knowledge and attitudes toward deep brain stimulation (DBS) as a treatment.
  • To identify gaps in medical student education regarding DBS therapy.
  • To analyze knowledge and attitude changes based on clinical exposure.

Main Methods:

  • Surveyed 65 medical students at Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine.
  • Utilized a 25-item questionnaire assessing demographics, bias, knowledge, and self-assessed knowledge of DBS.
  • Analyzed pre-clinical and clinical students separately using t tests, ANOVA, and Pearson correlations.

Main Results:

  • 36% of students were uncertain about DBS FDA approval; 65% felt inadequately educated.
  • 10.6% of students associated DBS with severe adverse effects or brain damage.
  • No significant knowledge or attitude difference between pre-clinical and clinical students, indicating a lack of clinical year exposure.

Conclusions:

  • Medical student education on DBS is insufficient compared to its clinical application.
  • Inadequate understanding can negatively impact future healthcare professionals' awareness of DBS benefits.
  • Medical curricula require updates to effectively educate future physicians on DBS interventions.
