What are the college courses that a Neurosurgeon must take both as an undergraduate and in med school?

Neurosurgery is a specialty. When in college major in whatever makes you happy, econ, bio, music whatever...just be sure to take the basic med school prerequisites: 1-year each of Physics w/lab, General Chemistry w/lab, Organic Chem w/lab, and General Biology w/lab. Take the MCAT.\n\nMedical school has two years of basic sciences, including Anatomy, physiology, Biochem/molecular bio, Immunology, Microbio., pathology, pathophysiology, pharmacology...I'm sure I forgot (purposely...) a few courses. Then you take during 3rd year Medicine, surgery, family med, peds, ob/gyn etc..4th year are mostly electives. Neurosurgery residency is usually a very long and lonley 7 years at least. Most residency's have only 1-2 spots per year. \n\nSo to answer your question simply there are no specific courses in college or medical school that you need to take. It would be to your advantage to have an elective or two of Neurosurgery during the early part of  your 4th year of med school so you can get letters of recommendation etc..\n\nSo 4-years undergrad. 4-years of med school 7-years of residency plus maybe one or two years of research.

You don't need to declare "pre-med" as a major...but yes as a prerequisite you will need so many courses in Biology & Chemistry before entering medical school

Stony Brook University has a good pre-med program and also a medical school on campus.\n\nNYIT (New York Institute of Technology) has a 7 year BS/DO program where you enroll as a pre-med undergraduate and after 7 years are awarded both your undergraduate and D.O. (Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine) degree.  They also have a medical school on campus, which is the reason for the joint program.\n\nHofstra University also has an excellent pre-med program, as does C.W. Post College of Long Island University.\n\nGood luck!

To become a doctor you do have to do internships throughout the hospital.You have to do on the job training in all fields. You need to be able to do minor surgery as a general practitioner.. After internship you choose a residency, where neurology and surgery are choices. There are neurological surgeons.

You are going to want to focus on biology, chemistry, psychology, and child development.  You are going to do 4 years of undergrads, maybe with a pre-med major, psych or child development minor, followed by medical school, internship, and residency.

There is no "pre-med major" at either school but both have many opportunities for people interested in becoming doctors, especially since both have medical schools and hospitals that undergraduates can volunteer in.  There are also "career services" staff that can advise students about med school requirements and such.

to be succesful you need at least 8 years of college for all those careers.\ncoroner and surgeaon need 4yrs undergrad 4yrs med school for M.D.\nother 2 need 4yrs undergrad, 4 yrs grad school for P.H.D.

The basic steps include: college, medical school, and residency training in general surgery, followed by additional training in cardiothoracic surgery. First, college. During the undergraduate years, a student can major in any field of study as long as he/she takes the necessary prerequisite courses for admission to medical school. These courses include one year each of general biology, general chemistry, organic chemistry, physics, and calculus. Most medical schools also require the medical college admissions test (MCAT), which is commonly taken in the spring of the student’s junior year. Many students take a MCAT preparatory course for several months preceding the examination. Typically medical school consists of two years of study in the basic sciences and introduction to clinical medicine, followed by one year of exposure to all of the major clinical disciplines. The final year consists of additional clinical exposure and electives. \n\ngo here to find out more\n\nhttp://www.sts.org/sections/education/beasurgeon/

Pre-law would be for law school\nPre-med would be for med school\nPre-med is taken before you hit medical school\nPre-law is taken before you hit law school\nEither way you'll be RICH!!!

Some courses to start taking would be those in the science field. You'll absolutely need your basics: chemistry (both inorganic and organic), biology, and physics. Other than that, contact the chiropractic college you would like to attend and I'm sure they'll give you a list. \n\nBTW, if you get the basic biologies out of the way, I recommend taking an Anatomy and Physiology course EVEN IF they tell you you're going to have to take it in the Doctor or Chiropractic program (but only if you'll still get credit hours for taking the course). This way, you'll have some idea about human anatomy and will be a step ahead in the course. It worked for me.

If you want to be a dentist, study science with biology as major at high school. After completion of school apply to any medical school offering dental science course. Some may take entrance exams. If you are confident face exam otherwise search institutes that offer direct admission.

In the US, there are several universities that have programs which combine bachelor's and M.D. degrees by guaranteeing undergrads ,in the program, admission to med school if they complete certain requirements. Some of these schools are St. Louis University, University of Rochester, University of Illinois at Chicago, which also has a similar program for dental. However, some schools may require state residency.

You'll also need at least an undergraduate degree. You will also need to take the MCATs.

Most people I know who went to medical school majored in biology, chem, psychology, or biomedical enginnering. It's probably easier since what you're studying overlaps with medicine, obviously. However, I'm sure there have been others who majored in English, but ended up applying to medical school. You just have to find room in your schedule to fit those classes.  Most students prepare and take their MCATs during their junior year. Also, I think it's a good idea to volunteer in the hospital and shadow a doctor. It shows how much you want to be a doctor. Also, grades are very important, so study hard, and get excellent letters of recommendation from professors who know you personally.

Well, assuming you want to do surgery, you're going to have to go to medical school. Med school is really competitive and your best chance of getting in is with a very comprehensive education of all things medical. Pre-med might not always be the best choice because it sometimes lacks coursework in the fundamentals of molecular and cellular biology. Lots of students I know going to medical school are majoring in microbiology (the study of cells), bioscience, biochemistry (incredibly tough but proves that you're ready for the rigors of medical school), chemistry and surprisingly enough, bioengineering. \n\nI would avoid any health, diet, or majors that don't focus on the basic levels of cellular and human biology. Getting a 4.0 in major consisting of nutrition doesn't look very good. You need to have a really good background in chemistry, physics, biochemistry, and microbiology to be a good canadiate for a medical program but as long as your taking challenging classes that focus on some aspect of the human body, you have a very good chance of getting into medical school.\n\nI'd look into what aspect of biology you enjoy the most and major in that. From there, with good grades and good recommendations, you should be a shoe-in for medical school
