Headache Education in Canadian Medical Schools.

Guay, Meagan; Lagman-Bartolome, Ana Marissa; Lay, Christine

This study aims to gain a better understanding of the current scope of headache education received in Canadian medical schools. The Women's College Hospital Centre for Headache at the University of Toronto, Canada, distributed a questionnaire to administrators and physicians involved in medical student education at Canadian medical schools and gathered information surrounding headache education. Overall, the degree of headache education varied between schools in regard to the hours of training that occurred and year the training took place. This survey provides an initial insight into the current standards of headache-specific education in Canadian medical schools.
