<h3>Objective:</h3> This study estimates current and projects future neurologist supply demand under alternative scenarios nationally by state from 2012 through 2025. <h3>Methods:</h3> A microsimulation model simulates likely career choices of individual neurologists, taking into account the number new neurologists trained each year changing demographics neurology workforce. utilization services for in a representative sample population United States as whole. Demand projections reflect...
To study prevalence of and factors that contribute to burnout, career satisfaction, well-being in US neurologists.A total 4,127 American Academy Neurology member neurologists who had finished training were surveyed using validated measures from January 19 March 21, 2016.Response rate was 40.5% (1,671 4,127). Average age participants 51 years, with 65.3% male nearly equal representation across geographic regions. Approximately 60% respondents at least one symptom burnout. Hours worked/week,...
<h3>Objective</h3> To examine age and sex differences in burnout, career satisfaction, well-being US neurologists. <h3>Methods</h3> Quantitative qualitative analyses of men9s (n = 1,091) women9s 580) responses to a 2016 survey <h3>Results</h3> Emotional exhaustion neurologists initially increased with age, then started decrease as got older. Depersonalization decreased Fatigue overall quality life worsened improve More women (64.6%) than men (57.8%) met burnout criteria on univariate...
To study prevalence of and factors contributing to burnout, career satisfaction, well-being in US neurology residents fellows.A total 938 American Academy Neurology member fellows were surveyed using standardized measures from January 19 March 21, 2016.Response rate was 37.7% (354/938); about 2/3 responders 1/3 fellows. Median age participants 32 years 51.1% female. Seventy-three percent 55% had at least one symptom the difference largely related higher scores for depersonalization among...
The American Academy of Neurology (AAN) surveyed the attitudes, behavior, and knowledge its members regarding care at end life. Three groups AAN were surveyed: neuro-oncologists, ALS specialists, a representative sample US neurologists.The survey presented two clinical scenarios involving end-of-life care. Neurologists asked series questions to assess their existing medical, ethical, legal guidelines; willingness participate in physician-assisted suicide (PAS) or carry out voluntary...
To understand the challenges and facilitators of a successful academic neurology research career broadly to identify gender-based disparities specifically.
Many companies in different industrial sectors are exploring alternative work schedules to deal with diverse problems associated shiftwork. The use of extended workday (regular shift lengths exceeding 8 h compressed workweeks) is attracting growing interest many industries that continuous operations. To address concerns regarding possible fatigue effects on safety and performance such schedules, the U.S. Bureau Mines conducted a two-phase study at an underground metal mine western Canada....
To address training demands on future neurologists, the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) surveyed its US members as to their views about neurology workforce.The survey was mailed 575 neurologists and 425 residents/fellows. Respondents (54%) were asked perceptions current educational programs settings needed improve practice competence; issues related subspecialization; role non-neurologists in providing neurologic care. Views compared with those residents/fellows.Most respondents support...
Abstract As part of a larger study on the health and safety shiftworkers in mining population by US Bureau Mines, association between meal frequency, regularity, eating satisfaction self-reported index was examined. Although link shiftwork some complaints, such as gastrointestinal disorders, has been established, research needed to understand why this occurs not fully undertaken. Specifically, academic nutritional substantially ignored question how working irregular hours affects behavior...
We surveyed attitudes of US neurologists about the ethical dimensions managed care by administering a written instrument containing paradigmatic cases portraying conflicts physicians, patients, and organizations (MCOs). After each case, we assessed neurologists' asking them their degree agreement with series statements. found that (1) generally were willing to follow clinical practice guidelines if they created medical societies; (2) experienced frequent interest or obligation in MCO...
<b><i>Objective:</i></b> To assess career choice and employment-seeking experience of senior neurology residents in 1996. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Graduating adult pediatric (n = 573) were surveyed to obtain plans, initial job selection, health care attitudes, demographic information. Results compared with 1996 data on all United States neurologists from an American Medical Association (AMA) resident survey regarding the employment status new physicians. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Survey response...
To assess neurologists' attitudes on rationing health care and to determine whether neurologists would set healthcare priorities in ways that are consistent with cost-effectiveness research.Cost-effectiveness research can suggest maximize benefits within fixed budgets but is currently being underused resource allocation decisions.The authors surveyed a random sample of practicing the United States (response rate, 44.4%) three hypothetical scenarios. Two scenarios were designed address...
The American Academy of Neurology (AAN) conducts periodic surveys its members to profile and monitor changes in the characteristics US neurologists their practices.To assess neurologists' characteristics, geographic distribution, practice arrangements, professional activities, volume, procedures performed, sources revenue, involvement with managed care capitation, other selected topics.The AAN Member Census survey was sent fall 1996 (response rate = 89%), Practice Profile a random sample...
To report a 2022 survey of US medical school neurology clerkship directors (CDs) and to compare the results with those similar surveys conducted in 2005, 2012, 2017. An American Academy Neurology (AAN) Consortium Clerkship Directors (CNCD) workgroup developed sent all CDs listed AAN CNCD database. Comparisons were made 2017 surveys. The response rate was 72 (47%) 152 CDs. number respondents reporting required has not significantly changed over past 17 years (93%, 93%, 94%, 96% for 2017,...
The U.S. Bureau of Mines has been involved in the study guidelines for design shiftwork schedules. One popular suggestion offered by researchers and consultants is to establish schedules that rotate a forward direction (Day Afternoon Nights) rather than backward Night Afternoon). This paper analyzes two primary premises behind these suggestions. Data on subjective sleep times collected from both rotators, indicate Forward rotation may not be more beneficial Backward rotation. Although WORK...
Due to the aging U.S. workforce and increase in percentage of shiftworkers workforce, an understanding effects shiftwork on older employees is considered important Bureau Mines. As part a larger study by Mines, survey data were obtained from 295 rotating shiftworkers. The workers categorized into three age groups with means of: 27.4, n=76; 36.4, n=177; 49.3, n=42. ANOVAs revealed that reported greater frequency 6 out 23 physical symptoms than younger workers. Older also themselves be more...
Working extended workshifts has been linked to decrements in behavioral performance and physiological function, plus subjective complaints. This report describes findings before after workers an underground mine converted from a continuous 8-hour 12-hour rotating shift schedule. A psychophysiological approach work schedule evaluation was employed, involving heart rate (HR) recording accompanied by pre-, mid-, post-shift measures of cognitive psychomotor performance, HR recovery estimated VO...
The Bureau of Mines is examining alternative rotating work schedules that are more conducive to the health and safety mining shiftworkers. question asked in this study whether or not there an advantage working second week a two cycle, as would be indicated by reports positive health, mood sleep items on compared first week. Forty-two workers at surface mine midwest filled out Work, Food Sleep Diary for four six weeks. They rotated every weeks going from days nights afternoons with all...
