Abstract: Currently, there is a shortage of vascular neurologists in many countries, which are mainly due to phobia about neurology for medical students and deficiency of training in vascular neurology. To fulfill the needs of society and stroke patients, and encourage more physicians to select vascular neurology, many efforts had been made in the United States, such as longitudinal curriculum optimization, training in vascular neurology and subspeciality construction of cerebrovascular disease. The experiences from the United States will provide valuable reference for the development of medical education in neurology in China.
