Background:Little information is available on the official postgraduate and subspecialty training programs in movement disorders (MD) in Europe and North Africa. Objective:To survey the accessible MD clinical training in these regions. Methods:We designed a survey on clinical training in MD in different medical fields, at postgraduate and specialized levels. We assessed the characteristics of the participants and the facilities for MD care in their respective countries. We examined whether there are structured, or even accredited postgraduate, or subspecialty MD training programs in neurology, neurosurgery, internal medicine, geriatrics, neuroradiology, neuropediatrics, and general practice. Participants also shared their suggestions and needs. Results:The survey was completed in 31/49 countries. Structured postgraduate MD programs in neurology exist in 20 countries; structured neurology subspecialty training exists in 14 countries and is being developed in two additional countries. Certified neurology subspecialty training was reported to exist in 7 countries. Recommended reading lists, printed books, and other materials are the most popular educational tools, while courses, lectures, webinars, and case presentations are the most popular learning formats. Mandatory activities and skills to be certified were not defined in 15/31 countries. Most participants expressed their need for a mandatory postgraduate MD program and for certified MD sub-specialization programs in neurology. Conclusion:Certified postgraduate and subspecialty training exists only in a minority of European countries and was not found in the surveyed Egypt and Tunisia. MD training should be improved in many countries.

欧洲、埃及和突尼斯缺乏经过认证的运动障碍临床培训。

背景：关于欧洲和北非运动障碍 (MD) 的官方研究生和亚专业培训计划的信息很少。目的：调查这些地区可获得的医学博士临床培训。方法：我们设计了一项关于不同医学领域、研究生和专业水平的医学博士临床培训的调查。我们评估了参与者的特征以及他们各自国家的 MD 护理设施。我们检查了神经病学、神经外科、内科、老年病学、神经放射学、神经儿科和全科实践中是否有结构化的、甚至经过认证的研究生或亚专业 MD 培训计划。参与者也分享了他们的建议和需求。结果：调查在 31/49 个国家完成。20 个国家设有结构化的神经病学研究生 MD 课程；结构化神经病学亚专业培训存在于 14 个国家，并且正在另外两个国家开展。据报道，7 个国家存在经认证的神经病学亚专业培训。推荐阅读清单、印刷书籍和其他材料是最受欢迎的教育工具，而课程、讲座、网络研讨会和案例演示是最受欢迎的学习形式。15/31 国家/地区未定义要认证的强制性活动和技能。大多数参与者表示他们需要一个强制性的研究生 MD 课程和神经病学认证的 MD 子专业课程。结论：经过认证的研究生和专科培训仅存在于少数欧洲国家，在被调查的埃及和突尼斯没有。
