Movement disorders (MDs) subspecialty is a key discipline in neurology, requiring dedicated expertise and training for accurate diagnosis and management. However, structured data on neurology residency training in this field in France are lacking. This study aims to evaluate the accessibility, quality, and consistency of MDs education among French neurology residents and to identify areas for improvement. A national online survey was conducted from August to November 2024 among neurology residents across France. The questionnaire assessed theoretical and practical exposure to MDs, procedural training, self-reported confidence in managing MDs, and residents’ expectations regarding training. Responses were analyzed descriptively, with comparisons across residency years and hospital types. Data were obtained from 151 neurology residents at 24 university hospitals. MDs training was highly heterogeneous: 47.3% reported receiving ≤5h of theoretical MDs education, while only 2.7% exceeded 20h. Practical exposure was limited, with 25.2% of residents having attended MD consultations under supervision, and only 4% having performed botulinum toxin injections under supervision. Confidence in managing MDs was generally low, particularly for dystonia (60.9% felt unprepared) and Tourette syndrome/tics (79.5% felt unprepared). Residents identified major gaps in structured education, procedural training, and access to mentorship. They advocated for a standardized MDs curriculum, increased supervised practical training, and the development of innovative educational tools. In conclusion, MD training during neurology residency in France is inconsistent, with significant gaps in both theoretical and practical exposure. Standardizing MD education, expanding supervised procedural training, and fostering mentorship programs are essential steps to improve resident skills.
