[The most frequent neurologic disturbances.  A contribution to the definition of topics for the programmatic content to the program of neurology in medical graduation]. 
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.  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 São Paulo's State and we made personal interview with 201 RD.  2.  To verify the most frequent neuropsychiatric disturbs (ND) in the population: we made the analysis of the patient's diagnostic records in emergency room of three institutions: Municipal of Taubaté-SP, Municipal of São José dos Campos-SP and Faculty of Medicine of São Paulo Santa Casa de Misericórdia.  1.  The RD are young and, outside the SH, they work in other emergency services.  2.  The most frequent diagnosis in institutions were listed: alcoholism, cerebrovascular disease, coma, cranial trauma, dementia, dizziness, epilepsy, facial paralysis, faint, headache, hemiplegia or paraplegia, meningitis, others paralysis, periferical neuropathy and psychiatric disorders.  Those diagnostics most frequent are relevant topics of the programmatic content to the program of Neurology in medical graduation.
