After training as a regular surgeon, a neurosurgeon in America will take on an additional 5-7 year neurosurgery residency program. If they have a sub-specialty (pediatric neurosurgery, etc.) it will be an additional 1-3 years in residency. Neurosurgery has the longest training period for any medical specialty.
