Survey of neurology chairmen in U.S. and Canadian medical schools about neuroepidemiology

Gary B. Beringer, Dr.P.H., Dewey K. Ziegler, M.D. and Tom D.Y. Chin, M.D.

Department of Community Health (Drs. Beringer and Chin) and the Department of Neurology (Dr. Ziegler), School of Medicine, University of Kansas Medical Center, Kansas City, KS.

Using a mailed questionnaire, 185 US. 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 epidemiology 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.

Presented in part at the 108th annual meeting of the American Public Health Association, Detroit, MI, October 20, 1980.

Accepted for publication November 5, 1981.
