Enhancing Neuroanatomy Education in Residency: A Spiral Curriculum with Near-peer and Case-based Learning (P5-15.002)

Key Points

• This research aims to assess neurology residents' performances in neuroanatomy over time and evaluate learning gains through a spiral curriculum.
• Residents participated in serial neuroanatomy assessments within a spiral curriculum.
• Performance was compared to attending physicians, adjusting for test difficulty using anchored analyses.
• Evaluated the impact of near-peer and case-based learning in neuroanatomy education.
• Residents' performance showed significant improvement across assessments.
• Adjusted analyses indicated true learning gains in neuroanatomy understanding.
• Comparative performance metrics between residents and attending physicians were established.
