The current status of neurology of family practice residency programs.
The status of neurology in family practice residency programs was determined. Of 373 programs surveyed by questionnaire, 266 responded (71.3%). Neurology is a required rotation in 48% of the programs, most frequently done during the second year of residency. Preceptors are mainly neurologists in private practice. There is a need for cooperation between neurologists and family practitioners to develop appropriate educational experiences for family practice residents.
