IN PROGRESS:
1. Publication of abstracts from undergraduate student conferences in indexed journals: is there any value?
2. Laminectomy simulation – are student-designed, low-fidelity prototypes inferior to commercially available equivalents?
3. Use of patient-specific 3D printed models in case-based teaching.
4. Follow-up analysis: does attendance of undergraduate conferences encourage subsequent student participation in neurosurgical activities?
4. Non-technical skills (NTS) and resilience training at the undergraduate level to address burnout: a forum for students interested in neurosurgery.
