OBJECTIVES: In 2022, the International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology (IFCN) launched the Young Neurophysiologists Network to support the representation of its younger members. This survey assessed the training of early-career clinical neurophysiologists and identify unmet needs.
METHODS: A 31-item online questionnaire was distributed to IFCN members under 40 years of age, evaluating educational goals, mentorship, expertise levels, and preferences for e-learning.
RESULTS: From 57 countries 331 participants responded. Marked regional differences emerged in training quality, confidence, and needs. In high-income countries, satisfaction with core modules-EEG, ENG-EMG, and video-EEG-was highest, while lower ratings were reported in low-income countries, especially for EEG. Training priorities also varied: neuromuscular ultrasound was the most requested topic in both high- and middle-income countries, while low-income countries prioritized video-EEG and evoked potentials. Mentorship significantly improved continued training. Online education was used by 58%, with 64% preferring IFCN Masterclasses.
CONCLUSION: Young neurophysiologists show strong interest in advanced training, particularly in neuromuscular ultrasound. Expanding mentorship and access to IFCN resources could help address global disparities.
SIGNIFICANCE: This survey highlights significant regional differences in young neurophysiologists' training and underscores the need to expand mentorship and equitable access to advanced educational resources.
