To investigate the current state of education for undergraduates, the subcommittee of the Japanese Society of Neurology for undergraduate education sent a questionnaire on the 2001-version of Model Core Curriculum to the department of neurology in 80 medical universities and their 7 associate medical institutes throughout Japan. Answers were obtained from 56 out of those 87 institutes (64.4%). According to the answers, the Core Curriculum was introduced to the program of undergraduate education in 93% of those 56 universities. For the revision of neurology part in the current Core Curriculum, there are number of requests for improving the description on the neurological examination, list of common symptoms and disorders, and addition of therapeutics. Despite application of the Model Core Curriculum in medical education, the present study disclosed that there were considerable difference in the number and content of the lectures, and the duration of clinical clerkship in neurology ward. These differences of the curriculum and training program depends on not only the number of staffs, but also whether they are working as staffs in a department of neurology or as a small group of neurologists within a department other than neurology.
为了调查本科教育的现状，日本神经学会本科教育小组委员会向日本全国80所医科大学的神经科及其7所附属医学院发送了一份关于2001版核心课程标准的调查问卷。这87所院校中有56所（64.4%）回复了问卷。根据回复，在这56所大学中，有93%的学校将核心课程标准纳入了本科教育计划。对于现行核心课程标准中神经学部分的修订，有许多关于改进神经学检查描述、常见症状和疾病列表以及增加治疗方法的要求。尽管核心课程标准已应用于医学教育，但本研究表明，神经学讲座的数量和内容、神经科病房临床实习的时长仍存在相当大的差异。课程和培训计划的这些差异不仅取决于教职员工的数量，还取决于他们是在神经科工作，还是在神经科以外的其他科室作为一小群神经科医生工作。
