In 1975, the Joint Commission of Neurology, created by the American Academy of Neurology and the American Neurological Association, published its report including recommendations on neurological education. Commission data indicated that although neurologists constitute less than 1% of all physicians, at least 5% of all ambulatory patients and 13% of all hospitalized patients had primary or secondary neurologic diagnoses, or both. Thus, the commission recommended a major effort in the education of general physicians in neurology. That advice is apparently being ignored. This situation poses a serious health care problem and urgent steps are indicated to reverse this trend.
1975年，由美国神经病学学会和美国神经学会联合成立的神经病学联合委员会发表了一份报告，其中包括有关神经病学教育的建议。委员会的数据表明，尽管神经科医生在所有医生中所占比例不到1%，但至少5%的门诊患者和13%的住院患者患有原发性或继发性神经病学诊断，或两者皆有。因此，委员会建议大力开展对普通医生的神经病学教育。然而，这一建议显然被忽视了。这种情况构成了一个严重的医疗保健问题，需要采取紧急措施来扭转这一趋势。
