“…Following Rudolf Virchow's pioneering concepts of cellular pathology , the academic pursuit of NP in the late 19th century arose mainly from the desire of neurologists and psychiatrists to better understand diseases of their patients . These pursuits were facilitated by the application of rapidly evolving neuroanatomical staining techniques [eg, Santiago Ramon y Cajal and others ]. Special institutions dedicated to the study of the physiology, anatomy and pathology of the nervous system were founded in the late 19th century, first in Vienna (by Heinrich Obersteiner) and subsequently in other European centers, in the US, and in Japan.…”

Neuropathology Training Worldwide—Evolution and Comparisons

et al. 2014

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Training of neuropathologists varies worldwide. Systems range from highly organized specialist and subspecialist education with national certification, to regulated training with diploma recognition, to informal apprenticeships in neurological hospitals and no formal recognition. This overview compiles and summarizes the history of regulated training systems, the status of neuropathology within various countries' medical systems and the manner in which neuropathologists are trained. Anecdotal evidence suggests that countries with regulated systems of neuropathology training and an active professional organization are more likely to have an adequate supply of diagnostic specialists and a vibrant research community. The different training systems reflect the style of medical services delivery in the respective countries. In general, the existence of formal neuropathology training systems occurs only in countries with relatively high levels of per capita health expenditures, reflecting the development of medical specialization overall. Evolving diagnostic technologies and major international research endeavors, whose goals are to understand structure and function of the human brain, demand that neuropathology training is more than simply diagnostic histopathology.
