Description

Online neurological localisation game (eNLG) with modified essay questions featuring simulated patients

The Move: Mime-based role-play training programme of neurological semiology

Neurological version of the ‘Hat Game’

weekly presentations, followed by a game show-type oral quiz, teambased

Educational board game: Neuropoly, pilot study

Number of participants

n = 76

The Move: n = 186

Standard teaching alone: n = 366

n = 107

Intervention: n = 17

Historical control (lectures): n = 20

n = 51

Learning assessment and outcomes

NA

Written semiology test 30 months after neurological rotation:

14% better ranking in The Move group (adjusted mean neurological semiology score)

Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) before and after the game

Improvement after the game: mean (±SD) score of 15.56 (±5.8) vs. 8.44 (± 4.34), p < 0.001

percent correct subset neurophysiology Residency Inservice Training Examination (RITE) scores: mean (±SD) score of 63.6 ± 4.12 in intervention group vs 49.4(±2.35) in control group, p = 0.002

Pre and post-play questionnaire: 3.2 (±1.7) vs. 7.8 (±1.6), p < 0.001

Satisfaction survey

93% felt the eNLG helped to better understand neurological localisation principles

NA

All students agreed that the exercise was playful

NA

Residents enjoyed the game (rate 9/10), helpful to learn neurology for 96% of participants
