Summary: This study aims to review the current approaches for classifying surgical skill levels and identifying skill training tools and measurement methods through a literature review. The existing surgical skill assessment approaches have been summarized, revealing various classification approaches and inconsistencies. To improve simulation-based training programs, a standardized interdisciplinary approach should be developed, specific skills for each surgical procedure should be identified, and appropriate measures for assessing these skills in simulation-based training environments should be refined.

Summary: The study aimed to assess the perceived effectiveness of virtual neurosurgery training camps (VNTC) among medical students with and without neurosurgery residency programs. Results showed that the VNTC benefited both groups of students, but differences were observed in their perceived usefulness of virtual education. Future initiatives should focus on tailoring programs towards disadvantaged students.

Summary: This scoping review identified 29 studies covering 6 topics related to educational interventions in neurosurgery residency programs. While several educational interventions were supported by quantitative evidence, methodological shortcomings were common in the selection of meaningful outcome measures. Evidence-based considerations were provided for program directors in both current and future training programs.
