Abstract

Introduction: Difficulties in recruitment of veterinary specialists to academia is an ongoing problem for university teaching hospitals. The aim of this study was to determine the proportion of veterinary neurology specialists that plan to work in academia after their residency training and identify the main factors that may influence that decision.

Methods: An electronic survey was distributed to European College of Veterinary Neurology (ECVN) residents in training and those that completed their residencies within the previous 12 months.

Results: Despite similar numbers of residents training in clinical practice and academic institutions, most respondents (79.7%) planned to work in private practice. The most influential factors for deciding future workplace were quality of life, salary, location, and the number of other specialists (with specialists in subjects other than neurology viewed as more important than neurologists) working in the same institution. The most common reasons for not choosing academia were low compensation, excessive bureaucracy, and high administrative workload compared to private clinical practice.

Discussion: Academic institutions need to review support for academic staff and provide stronger mentorship to overcome these problems and ensure provision of high-quality undergraduate teaching in veterinary neurology as well as promoting advancement of the field through basic and applied research.

欧洲兽医神经学住院医师培训--关于准备工作和计划的调查。

导言：大学教学医院在招聘兽医专家进入学术界方面一直存在困难。本研究旨在确定计划在住院医师培训结束后在学术界工作的兽医神经病学专家的比例，并找出可能影响这一决定的主要因素：向欧洲兽医神经病学学院（ECVN）正在接受培训的住院医师和在过去12个月内完成住院医师培训的住院医师发放了一份电子调查表：尽管在临床实践和学术机构接受培训的住院医师人数相似，但大多数受访者（79.7%）计划在私人诊所工作。对决定未来工作地点影响最大的因素是生活质量、薪水、地点和在同一机构工作的其他专家人数（神经病学以外的其他学科的专家比神经病学专家更重要）。与私人临床实践相比，不选择学术界的最常见原因是报酬低、官僚主义严重以及行政工作量大：讨论：学术机构需要审查对学术人员的支持，并提供更有力的指导，以克服这些问题，确保提供高质量的兽医神经学本科教学，并通过基础和应用研究促进该领域的发展。

期刊介绍： Frontiers in Veterinary Science is a global, peer-reviewed, Open Access journal that bridges animal and human health, brings a comparative approach to medical and surgical challenges, and advances innovative biotechnology and therapy. Veterinary research today is interdisciplinary, collaborative, and socially relevant, transforming how we understand and investigate animal health and disease. Fundamental research in emerging infectious diseases, predictive genomics, stem cell therapy, and translational modelling is grounded within the integrative social context of public and environmental health, wildlife conservation, novel biomarkers, societal well-being, and cutting-edge clinical practice and specialization. Frontiers in Veterinary Science brings a 21st-century approach—networked, collaborative, and Open Access—to communicate this progress and innovation to both the specialist and to the wider audience of readers in the field. Frontiers in Veterinary Science publishes articles on outstanding discoveries across a wide spectrum of translational, foundational, and clinical research. The journal''s mission is to bring all relevant veterinary sciences together on a single platform with the goal of improving animal and human health.
