Introduction: This study was designed to create an updated training program on epilepsy to solve whatever problems that general neurologists may detect in patients during consults. Objectives: To understand general neurologists' training needs in order to plan a specific program that may improve/standardize the clinical management of patients with epilepsy. Material and methods: 122 general neurologists non-subspecialized on epilepsy were surveyed in all regions of Spain regarding the following issues: initial diagnosis, treatment, special situations by population group and/or comorbidity, prognosis and follow-up as well as whatever other topics the training program should cover. Results: Neurologists agreed that treatment was the most interesting topic for them(100%), followed by diagnosis (46.67%), special situations by population group and/or comorbidity (30%), and prognosis/follow-up (7.14%). There were insignificant differences attributable to age and sex. Conclusions: Training ensures success, provided that it takes into account pedagogical considerations and professional targets to be trained, as well as technological and formal issues.
