Introduction: Knowledge accumulation is overfilling the thematic content of medical graduation. Medical Schools must be alert to define a minimal content related with the most frequent disturbs. We intent to suggest topics for the minimal content, to the program of Neurology in medical graduation. Method: 1. To identify the places where young doctors are working outside the School Hospital (SH): we analysed the answers of the letters sent to 6415 resident - doctors (RD) in Sao Paulo's State and we made personal interview with 201 RD. 2. To verify the most frequent neuropsichiatric disturbs (ND) in the population: we made the analysis of the patient's diagnostic records in emergency room of three institutions: Municipal of Taubate-SP Municipal of Sao Jose dos Campos-SP and Faculty of Medicine of Sao Paulo Santa Caza de Misericordia. Results: 1, The RD are young and, outside the SH, they work in other emergency services.',. The mast frequent diagnosis in institutions were listed: alcoholism, cerebrovascular disease, corns, cranial trauma, dementia, dizziness, epilepsy, facial paralysis, faint, headache, hemiplegia or paraplegia, meningitis, others paralysis, periferical neuropathy and psychiatric disordes.
