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.
