Neurophobia in medical students and junior doctors--blame the GIK.

CONCLUSION: Neurophobia is highly prevalent amongst Singapore medical students and junior doctors. Low interest and knowledge are independent risk factors shared by both groups; female gender may also be a shared risk factor. The mnemonic GIK (Gender, Interest, Knowledge) identifies the risk factors to mitigate when planning teaching strategies to reduce neurophobia. PMID: 24356651 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]
