Abstract
Many undergraduate students suffer from 'neurophobia,' which refers to a lack of knowledge or confidence in neurology, and this can influence their career choices. Various measures have been taken to address this issue, including the implementation of new technologies and methodologies. Significant advancements have been made in the development of blended learning, and the integration of student-centered learning modules, multimedia, and web-based devices has become a common teaching approach. Nonetheless, the optimal delivery form, as well as assessment for the selected learning format and teaching quality in both theory and clinical practice, are being investigated. The purpose of this review is to provide a summary of the current understanding of blended learning as well as innovative methods, technologies, and assessments of undergraduate neurology education. It aims to highlight opportunities for implementing a novel, comprehensive learning model with a suitable blended learning method within a framework of customized technology-assessment processes for future neurology classes, encompassing both theoretical and clinical training.
