Role of virtual modules to supplement neurosurgery education during COVID-19.

ABSTRACT: The advent of the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted all aspects of neurosurgery education, and it is now challenging to conduct routine sessions. Maintenance of essential standard education among novice neurosurgeons during the pandemic is of paramount importance. The aim of this study was the development of virtual modules and validation of its role to supplement the neurosurgery education program. We developed the virtual modules relevant to neuro-anatomy, neurosurgical procedures, instrumentation, and neurosurgical planning. These modules were virtually demonstrated to twenty-seven resident neurosurgeons through CiscoWebexonline platform. They provided their rating on the aptness of virtual modules for different neurosurgery applications on various parameters using 10 points Likert scale.
