Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
About 10% of patients consulting a family practitioner have neurological complaints, and about 2% ultimately receive a neurological diagnosis. As it is not possible to train enough neurologists for these patients, graduating medical students must be competent and confident in assessing neurological problems, particularly those that are common, treatable or require emergency management. An evaluation was made of the neurological problems commonly seen in family practice, the difficulties in managing neurological problems by the family practitioner and the criteria for referral to a neurologist. To evaluate the teaching of medical students and house staff, the types of problems seen in a teaching hospital neurology service were examined. As a result of this study an approach to the training of physicians is outlined to assist them to handle confidently and competently the neurological problems they will see in daily practice. |
