“…If no national examination exists, health authorities still must ratify the EBN examination. Slovenia, for example, recently shortened the residency programme from 6 to 5 years and recognized the EBN examination as equivalent to the national exit examination [19].…”

Background and purposeNeurology residency programmes, which were first established at the beginning of the 20th century, have become mandatory all over Europe in the last 40–50 years. The first European Training Requirements in Neurology (ETRN) were published in 2005 and first updated in 2016. This paper reports the most recent revisions of the ETRN.MethodsMembers of the EAN board performed an in depth revision of the ETNR 2016‐version, which was reviewed by members of the European Board and Section of Neurology of the UEMS, the Education and Scientific Panels, the Resident and Research Fellow Section and the Board of the EAN, as well as the presidents of the 47 European National Societies.ResultsThe new (2022) ETRN suggest a 5‐year training subdivided in three phases: a first phase (2 years) of general neurology training, a second phase (2 years) of training in neurophysiology/neurological subspecialties and a third phase (1 year) to expand clinical training (e.g., in other neurodisciplines) or for research (path for clinical neuroscientist). The necessary theoretical and clinical competences as well as learning objectives in diagnostic tests have been updated, are newly organized in four levels and include 19 neurological subspecialties. Finally, the new ETRN require, in addition to a programme director, a team of clinician‐educators who regularly review the resident's progress.The 2022 update of the ETRN reflects emerging requirements for the practice of neurology and contributes to the international standardization of training necessary for the increasing needs of residents and specialists across Europe.

“…Neurology training differs among European countries in duration and scope [14]. Very few of the curricula (e.g., Slovenia, Switzerland) have dedicated training time for sleep disorders [15,16] Neurologist Association" (YESNA). One of the goals of YESNA is the promotion of education in sleep-wake disorders, similar to previous initiatives from "young neurologists" groups around the globe [20,21].…”

“…Neurology training differs among European countries in duration and scope [14]. Very few of the curricula (e.g., Slovenia, Switzerland) have dedicated training time for sleep disorders [15,16], This contrasts with the recognition by the European Board of Neurology at the European Union of Medical Specialist (UEMS‐EBN) that educational content on sleep‐wake disorders is mandatory for the European neurological curriculum. After completing training in neurology, neurologists in Europe are expected to be competent in treating and/or referring patients with insomnia, excessive daytime sleepiness, parasomnias, sleep apnoea, narcolepsy, RLS and sleep‐related disturbances.…”

Objectives: Sleep-wake disorders are common in the general population and in most neurological disorders but are often poorly recognized. With the hypothesis that neurologists do not get sufficient training during their residency, the Young European Sleep Neurologist Association (YESNA) of the European Academy of Neurology (EAN) performed a survey on postgraduate sleep education. Methods: A 16-item questionnaire was developed and distributed among neurologists and residents across European countries. Questions assessed demographic, training and learning preferences in sleep disorders, as well as a self-evaluation of knowledge based on five basic multiple-choice questions (MCQs) on sleep-wake disorders. Results: The questionnaire was completed by 568 participants from 20 European countries. The mean age of participants was 31.9 years (SD 7.4 years) and was composed mostly of residents (73%). Three-quarters of the participants reported undergraduate training in sleep medicine, while fewer than 60% did not receive any training on sleep
