title: [Preparing physicians for indicatory physical examination of the nervous system].
abstract: A questionnaire survey was carried out among 104 doctors applying for the licence to perform prophylactic examinations in patients including the assessment of their nervous system. Responses of the interviewed on the proposed assessment method were evaluated in a scale from 2 to 5. The evaluation was compared in individual groups of doctors stratified according to specialisation, period and place of employment. In 55.8% of the interviewed the skill was found inadequate and it differed significantly in individual groups. Doctors without specialisation proved to be best prepared to assess the nervous system in patients and those with non-clinical specialisations received the lowest grade.
