Abstract
Article abstract— The choice of objectives and content in neurologic education should be informed by evidence from patient outcomes and errors. Malpractice claims are proposed as one data source, although they only partially reflect health outcomes. Epidemiologic, statewide data suggest some provisional priorities for key topics and training targets, but require further research to assess their value for guiding neurologic education.Keywords
