- Figure 1 Change in Interest in the Clinical Neurosciences Pre- and Postworkshop
Statistically significant change in interest in the clinical neurosciences pre- and postworkshop was seen with a p < 0.0001 (using Fisher exact test). Effect size was measured as d = 0.6346 indicating that the mean interest in the clinical neurosciences between the pre- and postworkshop groups was statistically significant. This is seen in the figure above where the mean interest (indicated by the large open circle) in the postworkshop group (y-axis) was significantly higher than the preworkshop group (x-axis).
