Abstract
This World Federation of Neurology (WFN) study aimed to characterize the status quo
of post-graduate neurology training throughout the world and enable a better orientation
on global training in neurology. Basic data on training curricula and working conditions
of neurology residents and neurologists in 39 countries worldwide were evaluated.
Our data show considerable differences in manpower and training, but a continuous
improvement within the last 10 years of observation. Worldwide a spread of interim evaluations and final examinations
of different types are used. Online resources will undoubtedly profoundly change skill
and knowledge acquisition and training practices in Neurology in the coming years.
