INTRODUCTION: The objective of this focus group discussion was to explore the experiences and perceptions
of former medical students with the undergraduate neurology curriculum.

METHODS: Perceptual patterns were derived from transcriptions of the discussion of the participants in a
focus group discussion involving faculty, residents and postgraduate interns. Data were analyzed using
latent content analysis and constant comparison techniques.

RESULTS: Shared experiences in clinical clerkship were mostly negative. The difficult initial patient encounters
were suggested to be minimized through hierarchal modeling, modification of the subject contents and
early clinical exposures. An environment created to be conducive to learning and neuroscience subjects
suited for the primary physician will equip the medical graduates better. The perceived pressures forced
the participants to find ways to cope. Neuroanatomy helped much in the clinics. The group suggested
more clinical correlates and the use of drawings to aid the graduates attain the competency in neurology
for a primary physician.

CONCLUSION: The participants' experiences were largely negative and were brought about by a varied form
of pressures. Contributing factors were identified and suggestions to improve learning and retention
were given.

OBJECTIVES: The objective of this article is to clarify the similarities and differences between psychiatry and neurology. METHODS: The author reviewed articles regarding the reciprocal relationship of psychiatry and neurology in Korea and western countries. RESULTS: The divided domains of psychiatry and neurology according to mind/body dualism is arbitrary and wrong. Mind is the function or activity of brain. Psychiatry is a branch of medicine which treats the mind disorders (dysfunction of the brain) caused by various biopsychosocial factors. Neurology is also a branch of medicine which treats the anatomical or structural abnormalities of the brain. Progress in the neuroscience and other disciplines heralds a new understanding of the brain leading to new approaches to neuropsychiatric disorders. CONCLUSION: Integration of the two disciplines is desired for mutual benefits and their patients' benefits near future in Korea.

The neurology profession was established after the completed liberation of the North of Vietnam. The psychological and neurological department of Bach Mai hospital was established in the 2 nd December 1956, currently the psychological and neurological faculty of Hanoi medical University also was founded. Up to now, the neurology profession has been undergoing over 40 years of the development and has surpassing progressed both proffession level, facilities and the human resource
