How much does school cost for someone interested in Neurosurgeon?
144525
4 years undergrad (currently around 50K)\n4 years of Med school (about 100,000K)\n\nThat's assuming you receive financial aid and spend your money wisely

The total 'cost' really depends on what field of study you choose and what college(s) you pick.  But basically, the cost of your education will be no different than if you choose to be a mathematician, engineer, physicist, etc.  \n\nHere are some sites that explain what it takes to become an astronaut,\n\n"So You Want To Be An Astronaut" http://liftoff.msfc.nasa.gov/academy/astronauts/wannabe.html\n\n"Astronaut Selection" by NASA http://astronauts.nasa.gov/\n\n"How Do I Become an Astronaut" http://people.howstuffworks.com/question534.htm

Not enough! :-) It depends on your title, size of the university, and whether the uni is public or private. But the starting salary is about $40-$45K with a masters and maybe $50K with a Ph.D., but it also depends on how much clinical experience you have.

Microbiology, anatomy, biochemistry, bioengineering, cellular biology, biophysics, biostatistics.  The fees for courses depends on the college you take the courses from.  Community college can be about $100 a course, while a private college will be in the thousands.

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.

here's a silly answer - stop looking at programs that cost over $100,000 in tuition.  in fact some graduate programs will actually pay YOU to go - ie, if the professors have grants and funds which were allocated for paying the salary of a grad student.  \n\nwhen I went to grad school, I was able to negotiate both the research stipend as well as the fees paid for.  Although most schools charging $100,000 are probably competitive enough that such negotiations are impossible, many will still have stipends for being a TA or RA (teching/research assistant).  Likewise, with more expensive private schools, there may be funds available within the schools to help pay for tuition.\n\nIf you have nothing and still insist on the expensive school, then you will have to take loans, which fortunately can be deferred until after graduation. . . "schooling" being kind of loose - you'd have to verify with the loan officer. . . for instance, medical students can defer their loans through 4 years of schooling and then with their residencies as well technically.\n\nFor med students, I often tell them, just go for it. . . but then again, after residency they'll be making at least $100,000+++ a year.  What you have to ask yourself is "Will the field I'm going in give me an exit salary which will allow me to pay off the debt in a timely fashion?"  A PhD in underwater basket weaving may take 100 years to pay off, but a PhD in molecular biology, after 2 post doctoral fellowships and a job at Genetech. . . maybe not so bad. . . you might even be making more than the doctor. . . but that would also be about 10-15 years from now. . .

It depends where you live and who is doing the procedure. If it is in a hospital you are looking at an average of around $1600-$3000 for the procedure and then you have to factor in anesthesia and lab. If you do not have insurance, your state should have an indigent care program. You may also want to see if you qualify for Medicaid in your state, and you can do that at your local Social Services office, or check your state online. Make sure you need the procedure before you have it done, though.

Check into becoming a patient at the University of Pennsylvania or Temple University dental schools in Philly.  Their fees are below the general market rate.

Compared to US schools, dirt cheap!  For residents it's around $4000 per year but for Int'l students it should be closer to $13, 000.  This is highly variable as it depends on what province you're in and how much tuition is subsidized for residents (almost ALL Canadian schools are public/subsidized - the few that aren't tend to be religious) but you can definitely expect to spend less than $20k annually unless you're looking at Law, Medicine or MBAs.   However, if you're in the hard sciences or engineering, it'll be free (TAships, RAships, etc)!!!\n\nPS.  That's Canadian dollars!!

Sorry but..........................\n "good & reliable" \ndon't usually go with\n"low cost"   when you are talking about doctors.  \n\nWould you be looking for "low cost"  if it were a neurosurgon you were needing?? \n\nI think you may want to pay the right price for the right job,  \n\ndon't mess with anything less. (hey I rhymed)

It really depends on the university. State universities are relatively cheaper than private universities, however you will pay approximately 3 times more than state residents because you are not a US citizen and therefore not a resident of that state. State universities could cost an average of $16,000/year not including room and board. Private universities could cost an average of $30,000/year not including room and board. You must also take into account the cost of living for the geographic area of your choice. You could also apply for an assistantship where most of your tuition costs can be covered by the university.

depends on the area - most dr visits run about 100.00.  The MRI on the other hand is very expensive - about 5000.00.

It really depends on where you go... community colleges around here are still around $17 per semester unit.  San Jose State (CA)averages out to about $100 per unit if you take 15 units.  UC Berkeley comes in around $200-$300 a unit if you take 15 units.\n\nCollege would be even more expensive if part of it weren't subsidized by the taxpayers.  Just look at the cost for non-resident tuition, and the cost at private schools.  Hiring professors costs money.  The better the professors, the higher the cost.  Some states defray this cost with taxes more than others do.

Hi there,\n\nYou are right, about 30,000 US a year according to http://www.payscale.com/research/US/Job=Surgical_Technologist/Hourly_Rate and http://www.ank.tec.mn.us/surgtech.htm .
