Differences in neurology residency training programmes across Europe - a survey among the Residents and Research Fellow Section of the European Academy of Neurology national representatives.

We found substantial variation among European countries in the duration of residency training programmes, and especially in the choice of obligatory rotations to external medical disciplines. Despite a presumably similar spectrum of patients, neurology residency training programmes across Europe are not harmonized. The structure of the programme should be determined by its relevance for neurologists today and in the future.
