Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Child neurology training must change as our understanding of the diseases of the developing nervous system increases. A proposed child neurology training path leading to certification in child neurology would eliminate all but 3 months of adult neurology training; however gaining approval for a new Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) training program would be an arduous task. I review why this change would add significant administrative and financial burdens and how this change in training could negatively affect the education of child neurology residents. I believe that modifications of the current training requirements already underway could achieve the same aims with fewer losses.
