Abstract

Background: Neurology residency training has been apparent to be essentially variable in different countries. Differences include disparities in length and programs' intrinsic components. Objectives: This study aimed for better understanding of the current EEG training paradigms for adult neurology residents in Egypt. Materials and Methods: Thus, an e- survey -adopted from Nascimento and colleagues - was e-mailed to the professors chairing Neurology Departments in various Official Universities in Egypt. The collected Egyptian data was analyzed and compared to that from Europe and USA. Results: This study included a total of 85 institutions involved in neurology training programs: 6 from Egypt, 32 from Europe and 47 from USA. The study showed no significant difference between Egypt and Europe regarding the total number of residents per year, the number of weeks devoted to learning EEG, the number of EEGs read by residents, the primary mechanism for EEG education, and the barriers to EEG teaching. There was a significant difference in the postgraduate year level at which residents take EEG rotation, the requirements for successful completion of the rotation, and the presence/absence of objective measures used for the assessment. Conclusion: The study concluded that the current EEG learning programs in the adult neurology residency in Egypt are close to those in Europe and USA, yet national and international standardization of these programs is highly recommended.
