EEG education in Brazil: a national survey of adult neurology residents.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In light of the established challenges of resident EEG education worldwide, we sought to better understand the current state of neurology resident EEG education in Brazil.

Objective

To define Brazilian EEG practices including in-residency requirements for EEG training and competency.

Methods

We assessed the perspectives of adult residents (PGY1-3) on EEG education and their level of confidence interpreting EEG with a 24-question online survey.

Results
