Using a mailed questionnaire, 185 U.S. and Canadian directors of medical school departments and residency programs were surveyed about the role of neuroepidemiology in clinical neurology. Data were obtained about current neuroepidemiologic staff; consultation patterns; current and future needs for neuroepidemiologists, including duties and level of training; funding of neuroepidemiologists; and training of residents and fellows. We recommend more centralized teaching of the epidemilogy of neurologic disease with participation by practicing neurologists, courses in neuroepidemiology in schools without special training programs, and improved training of residents and fellows, with more active participation by medical school epidemiologists.
通过邮寄调查问卷，对185位美国和加拿大医学院各科室主任及住院医师培训项目负责人进行了关于神经流行病学在临床神经病学中作用的调查。获取了有关当前神经流行病学工作人员的信息；会诊模式；神经流行病学家当前和未来的需求，包括职责和培训水平；神经流行病学家的资金情况；以及住院医师和研究员的培训情况。我们建议由执业神经病学家参与，对神经系统疾病的流行病学进行更集中的教学，在没有特殊培训项目的学校开设神经流行病学课程，并改善住院医师和研究员的培训，让医学院的流行病学家更积极地参与其中。
