由于对神经服务的需求不断增长，神经病学面临着美国神经科医生日益短缺的问题。预计从2012年到2025年，神经科医生的供应将增加7%，而需求将增加16%。神经病学工作人员的增加对于满足需求至关重要，劳动力中仍然存在显著的性别差距，必须解决这一问题，以进一步缓解供需之间的差异。个人、制度和社会因素造成了这种性别差异，并可能导致神经病学女性的倦怠或软损耗。这些因素，包括男女神经科医生之间的收入差距，这是所有医学专业中薪酬差距最大的一个，以及在更高的学术水平上缺乏代表性，在学术医疗中心，只有12%（113人中有14人）的神经科主任是女性，可能导致女性从神经病学中流失。识别和减轻这些因素可能有助于缩小性别差距，增加神经科医生的供应，以更好地满足未来的需求。
Neurology faces an increasing shortage of neurologists in the United States due to a growing demand for neurologic services. A 7% increase in the supply of neurologists is predicted from 2012 to 2025, whereas the demand will rise by 16%. An increase in the neurology workforce is critical to meet the demands, and a significant gender gap remains within the workforce that must be addressed to further ease the discrepancy between supply and demand. Individual, institutional, and societal factors contribute to this gender discrepancy and potentially result in the burnout or soft attrition of women from neurology. These factors, including earning disparity between male and female neurologists, one of the largest gaps in pay for any medical specialty, and the lack of representation at higher academic levels with only 12% (14 of 113) of neurology department chairs at academic medical centers being women, could lead to increased attrition of women from neurology. Identifying and mitigating these factors may help narrow the gender gap and increase the supply of neurologists to better meet future demand.
