What should you study as an undergraduate if you want to become a neurologist?
Chriiiss796
Hello, I am a neurology fellow specializing in Epilepsy now. I took a "different" road to Neuro, so I have a different perspective. To be frank, neurology is not one of the competitive residencies--most docs are uncomfortable with the neuro exam and subject matter. The running joke is that if you're an American med school graduate you'll get into whichever program you like. Most would agree that basically the most important thing is just to get into med school. Don't worry about undergrad majors, especially since you may end up loving radiology or peds or OB or who knows what? Just learn good habits and get good grades, that will get you in the right position. Now, I am really not one to talk. I started off knowing what I wanted to do--biomedical engineering research (I got an MD PhD) in neurology. So my path was to get an electrical engineering BS, while taking premed classes (not a lot of fun). Then I got into an MD PhD program and got a PhD in biomedical engineering. Now I am doing a combined research/clinical fellowship. This is not for most people! It's really long and really a pain in the neck. If that's the type of direction you're headed, then you might want to choose a really hardcore undergrad. I've seen physics, engineering, math, as well as the hardcore Biology types (bio, genetics, molec bio). But you can see something important on this list--there really is no "focused" major for ANY medical specialty. You might, MIGHT use your undergrad major in medicine, but usually you don't. It sounds like a lame answer, but it's really the truth--just choose something you like and can prepare you for med school entrance. (and the other thing is--choose something that can be a real career should you decide that medicine-and not having a job for 8 years after college- really bites the big one) Have fun!
