Each workshop involved hands-on stations (e.g. lumbar puncture, thrombectomy, EMG, EEG, etc.) led by faculty and trainees in neurology, psychiatry, neurosurgery, and neurorehabilitation. Institution-specific adaptations were made given available resources. Students and faculty were surveyed post-workshop.

In the first iteration of the workshop, Institution 1 organized an optional, exploratory two-hour session including 8 stations (15 minutes per station). Learning from this experience, Institutions 2 and 3 designed a required workshop. At Institution 2, all 232 MS1s participated in the workshop with 13 stations. Students were divided into four 60-minute sessions and required to visit three or more stations (no time limit per station). At Institution 3, all 135 MS1s participated in the two-hour workshop with 10 stations (10-15 minutes per station).

At Institution 1 (optional workshop), 13 students completed the survey. 100% reported a better understanding of neurological procedures.

At Institutions 2 and 3 (required workshops) there was increased attendance and response rates. At Institution 2 (n=142), most students found the workshop beneficial for understanding preclinical material (81.4% Agree/Strongly Agree) and clinical neuroscience procedures (90.5% Agree/Strongly Agree).

At Institution 3 (n=48) most students reported improved understanding of preclinical content (72.9% Agree/Strongly Agree) and specialties and procedures (77.1% Agree/Strongly Agree).

Career interest in neurology increased at all three institutions after the workshop.
