AbstractThe need for subspecialty-trained neurologists is growing in parallel with increasing disease burden. However, despite the immense burden of neurological diseases, like headache and neurodegenerative disorders, recruitment into these subspecialties remains insufficient in the United States. In this manuscript, a group of educators from the American Academy of Neurology’s A.B. Baker Section on Neurological Education sought to review and discuss the current landscape of neurology fellowships in the United States, the factors driving fellowship recruitment and the educational barriers. Moreover, suggestions to potentially improve recruitment for under-selected fellowships, which can contribute towards an alignment between neurological education and neurological needs, and future educational scenarios are discussed.

I am always amazed by the fascination of the American public with the "stories" from behind the Bamboo Curtain. The data of Dr. Wray in his article1 are biased, i.e., "I was told," etc. Any other article based upon similarly described data, especially from the United States, would not even be considered for publication by an editor, especially not by the editors of the official journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics. Dr. Wray's last sentence, "... Chairman Mao's command: ‘Serve the People!’" sounds more like a Marxist manifesto than the conclusion of a scientific report.

Approximately 3.5 million babies are born each year in approximately 5000 hospitals in the United States. Only 15% of these hospitals have neonatal intensive care facilities. Six percent of all newborns require life support in the delivery room or nursery, and this need for resuscitation rises to 80% in neonates weighing less than 1500 g at birth. Personnel who are skilled in neonatal resuscitation and capable of functioning as a team and an appropriately equipped delivery room must always be readily available. At least one person skilled in neonatal resuscitation should be in attendance at every delivery. Currently, a joint effort by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Heart Association has resulted in the development of a comprehensive course to train appropriate personnel in neonatal resuscitation throughout the United States. Neonatal resuscitation is also taught as part of a Pediatric Advanced Life Support course offered by the American Heart Association. In concert with the goals of the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Heart Association, we strongly urge all personnel responsible for care of the newborn in the delivery room to become certified in neonatal resuscitation. The practical approach to neonatal resuscitation is the focus of this article.
