Effective self-directed learning and performance perception: Insights from the United Kingdom National Undergraduate neuroanatomy competition
NUNC provides an impactful platform for addressing gaps in neuroanatomy/clinical neuroscience education, promoting self-directed learning, and inspiring confidence among students interested in careers in neuroanatomy-related fields such as neurosurgery, neurology and other neuroanatomy related fields. Future efforts should focus on integrating a broader range of learning modalities into medical curricula to improve the learning experience and establish reliable foundations for future clinical practice.
