OBJECTIVE
To develop an understanding of the availability of the formal clinical neuro-oncology educational opportunities for medical students.
METHODS
The curriculum websites of all medical schools accredited by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education were reviewed for the presence of clinical neuro-oncology electives as well as other relevant data.
RESULTS
Ten (6.8%) of medical schools accredited by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education offer formal neuro-oncology electives. Half are clustered in the Midwest. Forty percent are at institutions with neuro-oncology fellowships. All are at institutions with neurosurgery and neurology residency programs.
CONCLUSIONS
Formal clinical neuro-oncology elective opportunities for medical students in the United States and Canada are limited. Additional such opportunities may be of value in the education of medical students.
目的
了解医学生获得正式临床神经肿瘤学教育机会的情况。
方法
对医学教育联络委员会认可的所有医学院校的课程网站进行审查，以确定是否存在临床神经肿瘤学选修课以及其他相关数据。
结果
医学教育联络委员会认可的医学院校中有10所（6.8%）提供正式的神经肿瘤学选修课。其中一半集中在中西部地区。40%的选修课设在设有神经肿瘤学 fellowship 项目的机构。所有选修课均设在设有神经外科和神经内科住院医师培训项目的机构。
结论
美国和加拿大医学生获得正式临床神经肿瘤学选修机会有限。增加此类机会可能对医学生教育有价值。
