To evaluate the effectiveness of medical schools and neurology training programs in the United States by determining their contribution to academic neurology in terms of how many graduates choose academic careers and their respective influence on current medical knowledge through bibliometric analysis.
DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: Biographical information from current faculty members of neurology training programs in the United States was obtained through an Internet-based search of departmental Web sites. Collected variables included medical school attended, residency program completed, and current academic rank. For each faculty member, ISI Web of Science and Scopus h -indices were also collected.
Data from academic neurologists from 120 training programs with 3249 faculty members were collected. All data regarding training program and medical school education were compiled and analyzed by the institution from which each individual graduated. The 20 medical schools and neurology residency training programs producing the greatest number of graduates remaining in academic practice and the mean h -indices are reported. More medical school graduates of the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons chose to enter academic neurology practice than the graduates of any other institution. Analyzed by residency training program attended, New York Presbyterian Hospital (Columbia University), Mayo Clinic (Rochester, Minnesota), and Mount Sinai Medical Center (New York, New York) produced the most graduates remaining in academics.
This retrospective, longitudinal cohort study examines through quantitative measures the academic productivity and rank of academic neurologists. The results demonstrate that several training programs excel in producing a significantly higher proportion of academically active neurologists.
通过确定美国医学院校和神经病学培训项目对学术神经病学的贡献，即有多少毕业生选择学术职业，以及通过文献计量分析它们对当前医学知识的各自影响，来评估这些院校和项目的有效性。
设计、地点和参与者：通过在各部门网站上进行基于互联网的搜索，获取了美国神经病学培训项目现任教员的个人信息。收集的变量包括就读的医学院校、完成的住院医师培训项目以及当前的学术职称。对于每位教员，还收集了科学引文索引（ISI）Web of Science和Scopus的h指数。
收集了来自120个培训项目、共3249名教员的学术神经病学家的数据。所有关于培训项目和医学院校教育的数据都由每位毕业生毕业的机构进行汇编和分析。报告了培养出留在学术实践中毕业生数量最多的20所医学院校和神经病学住院医师培训项目以及平均h指数。哥伦比亚大学内外科学院的医学院毕业生选择进入学术神经病学实践的人数比其他任何机构的毕业生都多。按就读的住院医师培训项目分析，纽约长老会医院（哥伦比亚大学）、梅奥诊所（明尼苏达州罗切斯特）和西奈山医疗中心（纽约）培养出留在学术界的毕业生最多。
这项回顾性纵向队列研究通过定量方法考察了学术神经病学家的学术生产力和排名。结果表明，几个培训项目在培养出比例显著更高的积极从事学术工作的神经病学家方面表现出色。
