“…As part of the Multiple Sclerosis Physician Workforce study, 6 we reviewed previously developed physician career surveys to identify items relevant to assessing neurology residents' intentions to pursue subspecialty training. We adapted existing questions and crafted new items to develop a draft neurology resident survey.…”

The majority (approximately 81%) of residents expressed interest in subspecialty training. Resident demographic characteristics and educational debt did not influence interest in pursuing subspecialty training. Residents were more likely to express interest in subspecialty training when they participated in any neurology research (odds ratio [OR] = 2.39), 95% confidence interval (CI) [1.13, 5.07], p = .02, and indicated more interest in careers involving teaching (OR = 8.33), 95% CI [1.64, 42.19], p = .01. Considering the "medical content of subspecialty" as a more important factor approached but did not reach statistical significance (OR = 3.12), 95% CI [0.97, 10.06], p = .06. Insights: Participation in any neurology research and interest in careers involving teaching are associated with interest in subspecialty training among neurology residents. Further research is needed to determine whether exposure to research and teaching stimulates interest in subspecialty training and whether residents believe that subspecialty training is instrumental in pursuing an academic career.

“…Non-MS subspecialists who lack sufficient knowledge to feel comfortable caring for patients with MS or who lack knowledge regarding newer DMTs see substantially fewer individuals with MS. 9 Facilitating knowledge of current MS treatment patterns, including recently approved DMTs, among non-MS subspecialists, the largest group of neurologists, may substantially increase the capacity of the MS neurologist workforce.…”

“…More detailed information about the MS Neurologist Workforce Study Surveys appears in the articles by Halpern et al 9,10 and Kane et al 11 Briefly, these surveys collected information on exposure to individuals with MS during neurology training, interest in provision of care for patients with MS (among neurology residents), and current provision of care for patients with MS (among neurologists). The neurology resident survey also captured subsequent career plans, that is, interest in completing an MS fellowship, completing a neurology fellowship in a subspecialty area other than MS, or entering practice as a general neurologist.…”

“…Finally, general neurologists find it increasingly difficult to provide optimal care for people living with MS and NID including management of day-to-day symptoms and psychosocial sequelae. 8,9 Unfortunately, there are not enough MS and NI subspecialists available, and anticipated shortages in the future workforce compound the problem. 10 As demand for specialists increases, MS and NI fellowship training programs have been created or expanded.…”

Management of multiple sclerosis and neuroimmunological disorders has become increasingly complex due to the expanding number of recognized neuroimmune disorders, increased number of therapeutic options, and multi-disciplinary care management needs of people with multiple sclerosis and neuroimmunological disorders. More subspecialists are needed to optimize care of these patients, and many fellowship programs have been created or expanded to increase the subspecialty workforce. Consequently, defining the scope and standardizing fellowship training is essential to ensure trainees receive high quality training. A workgroup was created to develop a consensus fellowship curriculum to serve as a resource for all current and future training programs. This curriculum may also serve as a basis for future accreditation efforts.

Interest in Providing Multiple Sclerosis Care and Subspecializing in Multiple Sclerosis Among Neurology Residents

Abstract: Increasing opportunities to interact with MS patients, learn about MS care, and participate in MS research may increase interest in MS care and subspecialization among neurology residents. Opportunities to educate residents regarding MS patient care may affect residents' attitudes.
