At RVU-MCOM, feedback from third-year students highlighted a recurring challenge: many wished they had revisited Neuro I content before beginning Neuro II. Neuro was the only first-year system course students specifically recommended reviewing prior to its second-year counterpart. In response, student leaders in the MCOM Neurology Club developed a pilot review intervention to address this gap. The objective is to evaluate whether providing structured Neuro I review materials during the two-week CARES block before Neuro II improves self-reported preparedness and increases completion of neuro-related Uworld questions. The intervention included five review PowerPoints, two peer-led in-person sessions, and recommended Uworld questions. All materials were accessible online to all OMS II students, and 30 students attended an in-person session. After Neuro II, an anonymous survey was emailed to all OMS II students to assess satisfaction, preparedness, and Uworld question completion. The survey remains open for two weeks, after which results will be analyzed. Likert-scale items and descriptive statistics will be used to compare students who used the materials with those who did not, as well as attendees versus non-attendees. This pilot study aims to assess the feasibility and perceived value of a student-led pre-course review within a two-pass neuroscience curriculum. Although voluntary participation introduces sampling and response bias, findings may inform whether club-led interventions offer meaningful curricular support, guide improvements to the project, and shape future studies. The project may also clarify whether targeted peer-led review of foundational content is a worthwhile supplemental strategy in similar curricular models.
