How are Neurosurgeons trained?
After 4 years of medical school and one year of general surgery internship, a doctor enters an accredited neurosurgical residency training program of 5 to 7 years affiliated with a university teaching hospital. Neurosurgeons are trained in all aspects of neurosurgery including neuro-trauma, spinal disorders, cerebrovascular, pediatrics, and tumors. The training is long and arduous.
