Abstract
From 2004 to 2015, the average number of neurologists in high-income countries increased from 3 to 5.14 per 100,000 population; the number of neurologists in low-income countries (LICs) remained static at 0.03 per 100,000.1,2 This disparity is likely due in large part to the paucity of neurology training programs in LICs,3 leading physicians interested in neurology to train abroad, where many stay (the brain drain phenomenon).4 Neurologic disorders are the leading cause of disability-adjusted life-years and the second leading cause of mortality worldwide,5 requiring expansion of the global neurology workforce. Here we describe the development of the first neurology training program in Haiti (an LIC), supported by a visiting faculty model.
