Area of Science:

Neurosurgery
Medical Education
Virtual Learning

Background:

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly disrupted traditional neurosurgical subinternships.
This disruption created a need for effective virtual neurosurgical training platforms.

Purpose of the Study:

To design and evaluate a novel virtual neurosurgical subinternship (Virtual Sub-I).
To assess the Virtual Sub-I's effectiveness in replicating traditional subinternship benefits.

Main Methods:

A weeklong, case-based virtual program utilizing flipped-classroom and active learning.
Small group case discussions and personalized faculty/resident mentorship.
Kirkpatrick Level 1 evaluation using surveys to assess student experience.

Main Results:

27 students participated in the Virtual Sub-I, with 132 applicants.
Students rated the program as "interactive," "educational," and "engaging."
100% of respondents would "very likely" recommend the program; faculty found it valuable for residency selection.

Conclusions:

The Virtual Sub-I effectively provides educational and interpersonal benefits comparable to traditional subinternships.
This virtual model can serve as a prototype for future virtual surgical education.
The Virtual Sub-I offers a more equitable approach to neurosurgical education and mentorship for medical students.
