So You Want to Be a NEUROSURGEON #SHORTS

Показать описание

So you want to be a neurosurgeon. Neurological surgery, or neurosurgery for short, is concerned with surgical interventions of the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. To become a neurosurgeon, you must complete a 7-year neurosurgery residency program after medical school which often includes one year of dedicated research time. This is the longest residency program, start to finish, out of any specialty.

In terms of competitiveness, neurosurgery is consistently ranked among the top 5 most competitive specialties to match into, meaning you’ll need high Step scores and plenty of research.

The median salary for neurosurgeons is $680,000 per year making it consistently one of the top three highest-paid specialties, duking it out with orthopedic surgery and plastic surgery for the number 1 spot.

That being said, neurosurgery is known for having one of the most challenging lifestyles of any specialty, even beyond residency. In addition, the patients you treat as a neurosurgeon are often very sick, meaning that poor outcomes are not uncommon.

If you can get past those aspects of neurosurgery, however, you’ll get the privilege of working on arguably the most fascinating and mysterious organ of the body–the brain–and get to work in one of the few specialties where you truly have the opportunity to save someone’s life.

I have nothing but respect for neurosurgeons. Not only the hardest and longest specialty to go through, but it usually entails a tough private life too. These are the people we should be celebrating in media, not social mediabimbos

I’m currently a neurosurgery resident. Definitely very demanding specialty but getting to see the impact it has on peoples lives at end is truly inspiring

malav_patel

people in these comments be like “I’m in 6th grade and want to be a neurosurgeon” like let’s get past high school first lol 99% of you will soon realize the lifestyle isn’t for everyone

Being a Neurosurgeon (functional mainly) is my dream.. and I'll turn it into reality. ❤

I am actually a neurosurgeon right now, and would not recommend it for everyone! It's a lot of work, but if you specialize you make a lot of money and it is worth it in my opinion. I personally as of now pull in 2.5 million a year, so if you work hard it is much easier to achieve your goals!

Hey everyone, so my goal is to become a neurosurgeon and I am currently in 10th grade only, I will update this comment when I finish college, med school, and finally residency!!

pranisparkles

I know you already have a video on this speciality but would love to see a part 2 to that. I don’t think 1 video does neurosurgery justice

I just finished highschool and want to become neurosurgeon

floraally

Currently in school to pursue this path, take my MCAT in the spring and I just shadowed neurosurgeries this week. Definitely know this is what I want to do and am willing to work for it, but I absolutely hate the thought of research 😩 my least favorite thing would be to get stuck in a lab writing papers and doing menial work, my happy place is in the operating room

maddiem

I’m a 3rd year med student right now and don’t know what will be my specialty but I hope I will have the courage and motivation to do the right thing one day
Will update this comment as I go along

Starting med school soon. Extremely interesting but the 7 year residency is daunting
