Abstract
The concept of vascular neurology-specific education was launched nearly 50 years ago in response to a growing understanding of the pathophysiology of stroke. The vascular neurology field, and the training required to support its growth and evolution, has been heavily influenced by a simultaneously increasing breadth of knowledge in approaches to clinical management of stroke. There are increasing numbers of vascular neurology fellows each academic year, yet we continue to experience shortages in clinical coverage for patients with vascular neurological conditions. Here, we review the origins of vascular neurology training and current challenges in sustaining educational programs. We then propose action items to help shape the future of vascular neurology education.
