IHS Core Curriculum on Headache for Neurologists

Dear Affiliate Member 

A Core Curriculum, for use by medical schools and residency programmes, was originally identified as an educational goal by the IHS Strategic Planning group. In 2009 the IHS Education committee initiated the Core Curriculum project, with the aim write three curricula, one each for Neurologists, Medical Students and Primary Care Physicians.

The Core Curriculum for Neurologists, authored by Michail Vikelis, Peter Sandor, Miguel Lainez, Allan Purdy, Guus Schoonman and Alan Rapoport, was finalised in 2011. The aim of the Curriculum is to define the minimum knowledge about headache required by neurologists for qualification as a specialist in neurology, and is based on information collected from different regions worldwide.

A pdf has been produced and printed, and is now available for distribution. A copy can be downloaded here.

With thanks for your support
