Abstract

This study aimed to assess the use of digital technologies in teaching neurological semiology to medical students. This scoping review followed the JBI Manual for Evidence Synthesis and PRISMA-ScR Checklist. A comprehensive search was conducted using the PubMed/Medline, LILACS, and SciELO databases to identify relevant articles published in English or Portuguese between 2017 and May 2022. Nine studies were included in the present review. The results suggest an emerging interest in nontraditional methods applied to teaching, such as board games and simulations. The use of alternative resources can improve short-term knowledge retention; however, digital technologies are lacking. This scoping review provides evidence to support the use of simulation in neurological semiology education; however, we found a lack of technological-digital approaches to this matter, a gap that should be studied further, as it could be crucial for solving several problems in neurological semiology education.
