The World Federation of Neurology and the challenges in Environment Neurology.
Revue neurologique, 2019Co-Authors: Jacques Reis, Wolfgang Grisold, Ş Öztürk, Mohammad Wasay, Gustavo C. Roman, William M. CarrollAbstract:Abstract Since its establishment the World Federation of Neurology (WFN) has manifested a keen interest in the environment and its relation to neurological diseases. Thus, in 2007 the WFN renamed the “Neurotoxicological Research Group” to “Environmental Neurology Research Group”. In this short article, we review some recent events which illustrate the WFN involvement in Environmental Neurology as well its concerns about global health matters involving environmental issues.

The global perspective on Neurology training: the World Federation of Neurology survey.
Journal of the neurological sciences, 2013Co-Authors: Andreas Steck, Stephen M. Sergay, Walter Struhal, Wolfgang GrisoldAbstract:This World Federation of Neurology (WFN) study aimed to characterize the status quo of post-graduate Neurology training throughout the world and enable a better orientation on global training in Neurology. Basic data on training curricula and working conditions of Neurology residents and neurologists in 39 countries worldwide were evaluated. Our data show considerable differences in manpower and training, but a continuous improvement within the last 10 years of observation. Worldwide a spread of interim evaluations and final examinations of different types are used. Online resources will undoubtedly profoundly change skill and knowledge acquisition and training practices in Neurology in the coming years.

Neurology training programs worldwide: a world federation of Neurology survey.
Journal of the neurological sciences, 2006Co-Authors: Donna C Bergen, David GoodAbstract:This World Federation of Neurology (WFN) project was aimed at collecting data about the number and nature of Neurology residency programs in different countries. A survey was sent to delegates from the Neurology societies belonging to the World Federation of Neurology. Over 6200 physicians graduating from Neurology training programs each year were identified. Many regions of the world, including those with the highest prevalence of disorders of the nervous system, have few or no post-graduate Neurology training programs. Adequate teaching in psychiatry, neuroradiology, and neuropathology is lacking in many programs. Training in a large number of countries is hampered by inadequate access to books, journals, and the internet. The global distribution of postgraduate Neurology training programs is unrelated equally to the burden of neurological diseases or to the need for their treatment and prevention.

the beginnings of the southern child pediatric Neurology society
Journal of Child Neurology, 2015Co-Authors: Paul R. Dyken, John B. BodensteinerAbstract:The founding and early development of the Southern Pediatric Neurology Society was in many ways parallel to that of the Child Neurology Society. The organization started out as the Southern Child Neurology Society but the name was changed at the time of incorporation so as to avoid confusion of identity and purpose with the larger Child Neurology Society. Although there are archives of early days and the later development of the Southern Pediatric Neurology Society, the details have never been set down in a narrative explaining the events that led to the development of the organization. In this paper, we try to produce a written record of the history of the founding and early development of the Southern Pediatric Neurology Society.

pediatric Neurology s midlife crisis
Neurology, 2004Co-Authors: Steven M RothmanAbstract:In the mid 1970s when I began residency in pediatric Neurology, there were a few hundred members of the Child Neurology Society, most of whom knew one another. The majority of pediatric neurologists were on the full time faculties of medical schools, and some major medical schools lacked a formally trained pediatric neurologist. The majority of pediatric neurologists spent their time in some mix of direct patient care, clinical teaching, and clinical research; a small minority devoted themselves to basic laboratory investigation. Concomitant with the nearly sevenfold growth in the number of pediatric neurologists over the last quarter century, there have been fundamental changes in the practice of medicine that have impacted the daily practice of pediatric Neurology. Two recent surveys indicate that pediatric Neurology will need to come to grips with these changes if it is to remain a vibrant medical subspecialty. The first, the Child Neurology Workforce Study, released in September 2003, was commissioned by the Child Neurology Society to investigate the anticipated shortage in American pediatric neurologists relative to the expected demand.1 This survey, carried out by Daniel Polsky and Janet Weiner, polled active Child Neurology Society members, physicians identifying themselves as child neurologists in the American Medical Association’s master file, and trainees in child Neurology. There are several …

Subspecialization in Neurology: the role of the United Council for Neurologic Subspecialties.
Neurology, 2011Co-Authors: Paul M. Vespa, Stephen M. Sergay, John H. KohringAbstract:AAN= : American Academy of Neurology; ABMS= : American Board of Medical Specialties; ABPN= : American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology; ACGME= : Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education; ANA= : American Neurological Association; AUPN= : Association of University Professors of Neurology; CNS= : Child Neurology Society; PCN= : Professors of Child Neurology; RCPSC= : Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada; UCNS= : United Council for Neurologic Subspecialties. In recent decades, there has been considerable growth in neurologic subspecialties. In response to this trend, the American Academy of Neurology (AAN), American Neurological Association (ANA), Association of University Professors of Neurology (AUPN), Child Neurology Society (CNS), and Professors of Child Neurology (PCN) helped establish the United Council for Neurologic Subspecialties (UCNS) in order to provide accreditation of training (fellowship) programs in neurologic subspecialties and certification of graduates of these programs (and, during a limited “practice track” period, practitioners qualified by their substantive experience). This article reviews the reasons why UCNS was established, how it operates, and what it has accomplished. In the first issue of Neurology ® in 1951, an article by Pearce Bailey, MD, entitled “The past, present, and future of Neurology in the United States,” noted that by the end of World War II, Neurology had not yet attained “unchallenged professional autonomy as a medical specialty.”1 Bailey pointed to the establishment of the AAN in 1948 as reason for hope that there would be “a new renaissance of Neurology in the near future” and he concluded that “[t]he time has come for Neurology as a specialty to assume responsibility for the total medical treatment of neurologic patients.” In the decades since Bailey's article, AAN has undertaken many initiatives to help neurologists achieve this goal. In 1998, AAN President Francis I. Kittredge, Jr, MD, FAAN, appointed a Commission on Subspecialty Certification that was chaired by Stephen M. Sergay, MB BCh, FAAN. This was a time of major change in Neurology. Neuroscience was advancing at an explosive rate. New technologies and treatments were developed that promised dramatic advances in neurologic care. The boundaries between emerging areas of practice in Neurology and other specialties were becoming blurred. The number of AAN sections was growing fast, and new subspecialties did …
