Becoming A Neurologist

Everyone has a brain in their head and sometimes problem soccurrences can occur with their brain. Those problems can be solved by a specialist called a Neurologist. A Neurologist studies about the brain and the actions that our brain makes us do and what is connected. They treat patients that have disorders that occur in the nervous system. To do this, a lot of studies need to be taken and you have to take a lot of time out for getting your degree and attending medical school before you actually start earning your own money. Neurology is one of the hardest specialties in the medical field. First, to become a neurologist, you need to be a student in pre-med. You need to be pre-med in order to go into medical school to officially be a doctor
You need this because you are going to be working with real living people and you need to know how they work. Many of these classes are taken to know the sciences first, but you start applying them to real life when you reach medical school. You are just learning the concepts of the subject before you apply them to humans. Biology now is just what you need to understand the concept of living things. Chemistry is the same also, you need to know how to use the chemical concepts in math to apply it to neurology. Also, most of the human body functions are justified by chemistry and you can not know one without knowing the other. A lot of chemical reactions happen in the human nervous system and the balance of a human body. This also brings me back to biology, you need to know how the rest of the body reacts when there is a chemical imbalance and how it fixes that problem. They correlate with one another to help you prepare for medical school and use those two that work together to apply it to real life
You are required to get a doctor or medicine degree b attending. Most medical school programs last four years. The first two years in the program are basically anatomy and physiology classes. The later 2 years are for clinical training and shadowing doctors and learning how to actually do your job. Since you are a neurology major, you would need to participate in a clerkship that lets you see specialized medical practices, like neurology. After you complete the medical school program, you would need to pass another exam. This allows you to practice and work with patients. They call this the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE). All physicians (neurologists are physicians too) need to pass this before they practice medicine in the United States. You can take this later on, like during the beginning of your residency, or right after you graduate from the medical school program. Some residency and internships do require the test when you apply for the place, so it is best to get rid of the test early after medical school than
