ABSTRACT
Introducción: La formación en urgencias neurológicas es fundamental en el programa formativo de los residentes de Neurología. La Comisión Nacional de Neurología (CNN), decidió obtener información sobre el grado en que la Unidades Docentes de Neurología acreditadas posibilitan la realización de guardias específicas de Neurología y su grado de tutorización. Métodos: Realización de una encuesta a los tutores de las Unidades Docentes de Neurología para comprobar que se cumplen los criterios de la formación en guardias de neurología indicados en el programa oficial de formación.Resultados: Se obtuvo respuesta del 98,5% de las unidades docentes de Neurología que existen. En el 47% el médico de plantilla de Neurología tiene guardias de presencia física de 24 horas supervisando directamente al médico residente de Neurología. En el resto existe una diversidad de modelos que no cumplen de manera completa los criterios establecidos por el programa de especialidad. La distribución de los distintos modelos de guardias de Neurología varía mucho entre las distintas unidades docentes y entre las distintas Comunidades Autónomas. Sólo el 65% de los médicos residentes de Neurología realizan su formación en unidades docentes de Neurología que tienen guardias de Neurología autorizadas de manera correcta.Conclusiones: Hay una variabilidad injustificada en el cumplimiento de los criterios de formación en guardias de Neurología en las distintas unidades docentes distribuidas por todo nuestro país, habiendo diferencias de formación entre unos médicos residentes en Neurología y otros (AU)
Introduction: Training in emergency neurological illness is very important for the neurologist today. The Neurology National Commission has decided to obtain information on the work duties of neurologist residents in the different neurology units of the hospitals of our country and the supervision of the training in urgent pathology. Method: A survey of adult neurology program directors to find out if their hospital fulfils the program criteria for the residents duty work. Results: A response rate of 98.5% was obtained. In 47% of the neurology training units a neurologist supervised resident duty work 24hours a day. In the rest of the neurology training units they did not fulfil all the training program criteria. We analysed the differences between the neurologist training units, and there are great differences between the hospitals and all regions and communities in our country. Only 65% of neurology residents do their education in neurology units who fullfill the national program criteria on training on urgent neurology pathologyConclusions: There is too much diversity in resident duty work in neurologist training units and not all the units meet the national training program requirements (AU)
