Key Findings

• Insights from behavioral neuroscience can enhance cognitive engagement and clinical proficiency in medical training.
• Excessive screen time negatively correlates with fluid intelligence and academic performance among medical students.
• Active learning strategies, such as mind mapping and experiential learning, improve critical thinking and theoretical understanding.
• Psychological capital, including resilience and optimism, mediates the relationship between work engagement and professional outcomes.
