Medicine continues to evolve in response to our greater understanding of disorders and the discovery of new therapies. As the 21st century begins, once again neurology finds itself in a pivotal evolutionary point of its eventful history. Breakthrough discoveries linked to molecular biology and genetic engineering have made personalized medicine foreseeable.2 Information technologies have paved the way for consultation of remote patients and have adapted to the educational demands of upcoming neurologists, patients, and caregivers. Moreover, there has been an increase in the percentage of women in the neurology workforce.3 Importantly, the voice of junior neurologists is increasingly recognized and incorporated in decision-making processes at the national and continental level.4
