[Place and role of clinical neurology in the opinion of students graduating from medical schools]

Abstract

The attitudes and opinions of students of the 6th year of the medical faculties of four medical academies in Poland were studied. The proportion of students mentioning intention of specializing in neurology was 4--8%. Differences found in different medical academies between the attitude and opinions of students about the place and role of neurology among other specialities may be regarded as indicating the necessity of teaching modifications for stressing the importance of neurology in modern medicine and, especially, for emphasizing the consultative character of this speciality.
