To survey US Clinical Neurophysiology (CNP) fellowship program directors on the nature of CNP and related training programs, current recruitment cycle, and views for a standardized process.
A 23-question electronic survey was sent to all 93 US Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education-accredited CNP fellowship program directors from December 2020 to January 2021.
The response rate was 60%. There was great variability in the number of CNP positions and CNP tracks offered. The following tracks were identified: 48% EEG dominant, 26% EMG dominant, 22% split equally between EEG and EMG, and 2% and 1% were neurophysiologic intraoperative monitoring and autonomic dominant, respectively. Of the responding institutions, 43% offered a second year of training options to CNP fellows, mainly in conjunction with Epilepsy fellowship, which was pursued by 25% of CNP fellows. Many programs indicated flexibility in their design between different CNP tracks or between CNP and other related training programs based on the available candidates. The median percentage of CNP fellowship positions filled over the last 5 years was 80%, and there was great variation in the recruitment timeline across institutions. Overall, 86% of program directors favored a universal timeline and 71% favored a formal match for CNP. The respondents were split between an independent CNP match (39%) and joining the initiatives of affiliate societies on a standardized process (61%).
There is significant heterogeneity in the makeup of the CNP fellowship programs and the recruitment process. The majority of CNP program directors are in favor of standardization of the recruitment process.
调查美国临床神经生理学（CNP）奖学金项目主任关于 CNP 及相关培训计划的性质、当前招聘周期以及对标准化流程的看法。
2020 年 12 月至 2021 年 1 月期间，向所有 93 名美国研究生医学教育认证委员会（Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education）认可的 CNP 奖学金项目主任发送了一份包含 23 个问题的电子调查。
回复率为 60%。CNP 职位数量和 CNP 轨道提供存在很大差异。确定了以下轨道：48%脑电图主导，26%肌电图主导，22%脑电图和肌电图平均分配，2%和 1%分别为神经生理术中监测和自主主导。在回应的机构中，43%为 CNP 研究员提供第二年的培训选择，主要与癫痫学研究员一起进行，其中 25%的 CNP 研究员选择了这种培训。许多项目表示，根据可用的候选人，它们在不同的 CNP 轨道或 CNP 与其他相关培训计划之间的设计具有灵活性。过去 5 年中，CNP 奖学金职位的中位数填补率为 80%，各机构的招聘时间表存在很大差异。总体而言，86%的项目主任赞成通用时间表，71%赞成 CNP 的正式匹配。受访者在独立的 CNP 匹配（39%）和加入附属协会的标准化流程倡议（61%）之间存在分歧。
CNP 奖学金项目和招聘流程的构成存在显著差异。大多数 CNP 项目主任赞成招聘流程的标准化。
