Neurology practice patterns in Colorado.

Abstract:

:Eighty-one percent (47/58) of private-sector neurologists in Colorado responded to a mail survey of practice patterns. We evaluated patient load, degree of principal versus consultative care, and use of neurodiagnostic tests. Broad areas of neurologic education that were perceived to have been lacking during residency training were also addressed. Eight-four percent (41/49) of responding neurologists agreed to participate in a more comprehensive prospective study of neurology practice patterns. The prospective data will provide information to determine how many neurologists are needed and the applications for neurologic education.
