3.) You will attend a 4 year medical school. Near graduation you will need to apply for a residency program at a graduate school of medicine.

4.) Once in a residency program it will depend upon which field you enter as to how long your residency will be. Some are 3 years such as family practice. Surgeons can be in a residency program for 4 to 5 years. Once you are in a residency program you can specialize in your chosen field.

Answer 2

PhD is a scientific or education degree. Neurosurgeons are physicians and must earn a medical degree such as the Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.), Bachelor of Medicine/Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS), or Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) degree and complete an appropriate residency in neurosurgery before becoming a brain surgeon. There are four years of medical school, and then the residency years (2 or 3), then specialized education in specific field for another three years, and internship again for another 2 possibly ... maybe in 10 or 11 years the PhD might be able to take the surgeons exam with the medical board.
