Developing Neurosurgical Non-Technical Skills: A Tactical Decision Game Approach for Medical Students

Single-session, multi-scenario TDGs are a feasible and well-received pedagogical tool for undergraduate neurosurgery education, significantly enhancing students' self-perceived NTS. Despite the high cognitive load associated with this intensive format, TDGs show considerable promise for developing crucial clinical skills early. Further research using objective competence assessments and exploring optimal TDG formats is warranted.
