A structured 30-item questionnaire was designed to examine students’ attitudes toward pediatric neurology. In the study, 161 final-year medical students (1999-2000), 20-26 years of age (mean, 23 years of age) were included prospectively. Although most students had been taught by a pediatric neurologist and considered neurologic disorders interesting, 77%-100% had unfavorable attitudes. Although 79% considered pediatric neurology as a future career option, only nine students (6%) selected it as their first choice. Our findings highlight some aspects that might be targeted to promote students’ interest in pediatric neurology and improve their learning experiences. © 2002 by Elsevier Science Inc All rights reserved  ISSN : 0887-8994  Journal Name : Pediatric Neurology  Volume : 27  Issue Number : 2  Publishing Year : 1423 AH 2002 AD  Article Type : Article  Added Date : Saturday, March 22, 2008  Researchers Researcher Name (Arabic) Researcher Name (English) Researcher Type Dr Grade Email محمد جان Jan, Mohammed Investigator Doctorate   نادية فدا Fida, Nadia Researcher Doctorate   Files File Name Type Description  Students and Neurology.pdf pdf مشاهدة المقالة العلمية كاملة Back To Researches Page
