Insufficient global health education in European neurological post‐graduate training: a European Association of Young Neurologists and Trainees survey

Abstract

This survey corroborates the interest in and appreciation of GH education by European RJNs. However, there are shortcomings in training and opportunities for international exchange. Academic neurology and international bodies, including the European Academy of Neurology, are requested to address this.

Neurologists cannot ignore global health issues. An initiative from young neurologists

“…The article by Sauerbier et al . is timely and reaches from the issue of global health education, to individual involvement, and towards the present situation of refugees, raising and stimulating much‐needed awareness of these issues.…”

“…The paper by Sauerbier et al . raises the question of to what extent neurologists in their training curricula are exposed to global health problems and also how much individual personal involvement can be expected in the facilitation of these global aspects. Their paper also discusses the timely issue of neurological problems and diseases in refugees.…”

“…The paper by Sauerbier et al . is based on a questionnaire exploring the exposure of young neurologists to global health issues, assessed at two different time points, at the European Academy of Neurology Congress (2014) and a summer school (2015) by a paper and pencil questionnaire.…”
