    Area of Science:

    • Medical Education
    • Neurology Training
    • Graduate Medical Education

    Background:

    • Neurology residency programs are crucial for training future neurologists.
    • Understanding the landscape of these programs is essential for workforce planning.
    • Data on faculty, trainees, and program sponsorship provides insight into the field's structure.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To survey neurology residency training programs in the United States.
    • To gather data on faculty numbers, trainee demographics, and program sponsorship.
    • To project future production of fourth-year postgraduates (PG4s) in neurology.

    Main Methods:

    • Survey of 127 neurology residency training programs in the US.
    • Data collection on program sponsorship, faculty size and status, and trainee numbers and demographics.

  • Analysis of historical and projected numbers of fourth-year postgraduates (PG4s).

    • Main Results:

    • 80% of surveyed neurology programs are sponsored by medical schools.
    • In 1982, there were 2,700 MD neurology faculty (3/5 full-time) and 1,300 trainees (21% women, 3% DO).
    • Projected PG4 production for 1984-1990 is significantly lower than historical output (estimated 3,000 vs. projected 2,400).

    Conclusions:

    • The majority of US neurology residency programs are integrated within medical schools.
    • The neurology workforce in 1982 comprised a substantial faculty and trainee pool.
    • There is an anticipated decline in the number of neurology trainees completing their postgraduate year 4 (PG4) in the coming years.
