Surgeons

The brain, with all its millions of neural connections, weighs just 3 pounds. Cutting one open requires nerves of steel, guts and intellect. If you think you've got the right stuff--and the patience to train for 14 to 20 years--read on. Steps: 1. Ask yourself whether you have what it takes to do the job before you commit to decades of training. Brain surgeons not only need skill, stamina and dexterity, but also have to keep their cool in highly emotional situations. Interview several neurosurgeons. 2. Get into the best school you can (see 150 Get Into a Top College or University) and earn a four-year pre-med degree. Some medical schools require only three years of pre-med studies, but most applicants have a bachelor's or advanced degree. Excel in biology, chemistry and mathematics. 3. Prepare for fierce competition when applying to medical school. Schools look at transcripts, letters of recommendation and Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) scores, as well as extracurricular activities. Find out from medical students what to expect in your interview with a medical school's admissions committee. See 151 Ace the College Admissions Tests and 155 Get Into Grad School. 4. Go to medical school. (A few schools combine pre-med and medical school into a six-year program, but usually you face four years of undergraduate study and four years of medical school.) In the first two years, you will take classes and begin to examine patients. In the second two years, you will gain real-life experience under the tutelage of practicing physicians. 5. Complete six grueling years of residency in neurosurgery, your chosen specialty. Finally you've attained a paid position. If you're like many brain surgeons, you'll spend another year or two doing advanced study in neuroscience. 6. Pass a licensing exam in any state. Many--but not all--states allow reciprocity, which means you don't have to get licensed again if you move to a new state. 7. Become board certified in neurosurgery. This involves studying for and taking a rigorous professional test. It isn't necessarily required to get a job but may be expected later. 8. Find a job through your professional network. Ask the program director of your residency program to spread the word that you're looking for work. Network at meetings of professional societies and look at the employment ads in professional journals. See 201 Make a Networking Plan. Overall Tips: Unless you're independently wealthy, look into major financial assistance. Only 20 percent of medical students get through school without borrowing money. Even after two decades of training, you'll keep studying. To deliver the best care, you need to stay on top of medical advances throughout your career. Surgeons earned a median annual income of $255,438 in 2002. Fifty years ago, half of brain surgeries were fatal. Now it's less than 10 percent. Overall Warnings: Brain surgery is physically as well as mentally demanding. You need stamina to stand still for hours, performing minute surgical moves. Expect to pay an outrageously high price for malpractice insurance. Premiums have risen so much in recent years that some surgeons have gone on strike to protest them.

A neonatal surgeon is a neonatologist who specializes in surgery. These medical doctors specialize in the care of infants, and further specialize in performing surgery on infants and sometimes, fetuses.

Your major is not all that important. You can major in anything you want as long as you do well, allowing yourself to get into a medical school. Obvious choices include biology and any related science fields, but medical accept students from all kinds of majors, and once you're through to residency applications for plastic surgery, they could care less what you majored in anyhow. They just want to know that you did well during medical school.

Well, if you are wanting to become a nuerosurgeon, you would obviously need to do good in Biology as 'nuerology' would consist biological sciences. You would need to be at a suitable standard in this particular science such as; being at an A grade in AS Biology. Also, chemistry would be an essential AS chosen science qualification, and many medicine schools require atleast an A in chemistry at A level / or AS level.

You can obtain this information by going to the collegeboard site and using the sites College MatchMaker search engine, or you can also click on the related links below which will take you directly to the site. You can research colleges and universities by name, or by programs of study, or by geographical location, size, or combinations of part or all of them etc. The site will provide you with a list of institutions based on your request. It will give you the schools background, accreditation, degree offerings, programs of study, entrance requirements, tuition and fees, room and board, athletic programs etc. and a link to each institutions official web page. Make sure the college or university has a regional accreditation (most important). Practice navigating this site. It will be well worth the time and effort.

Well they make about $80 an hour so 80x10= 800x5= $4,000 a week .

The college major isn't what matters. You just have to have some 4 year college degree to be accepted into a medical school. After 4 years of medical school, if you do well you can enter a surgeon training program called a residency, which takes at least 5 more years.

to locate where their going to do the surgery I'm sure that takes math like how far in the incision should be and long the cut should be I'm not really sure if that's it all I know is that every job takes math

In Spanish it is "Quirófano" but I do not know in English, this is precisely what I would like to know.

In English it is an operating room ("OR" for short) or an operatory.

Surgeons are physicians who operate to repair injuries, correct deformities, prevent diseases, and generally improve the health of patients. They examine patients to determine if surgery is necessary, evaluate the risks involved, and select the appropriate surgical procedure.

General surgeons perform many kinds of operations. Others specialize in one type of operation or one system or area of the body. Neurosurgeons, for example, operate on the brain, spinal cord, and nervous system, while thoracic surgeons operate on lungs and other organs in the chest cavity. Diseases of bones and joints, such as arthritis, as well as the treatment of broken bones, are the focus of orthopedic surgeons.

Dr Khairul Faizi Mohammad from the Kuala Lumpur Foot Ankle Clinic in Hospitals Pantai Cheras and Kuala Lumpur. He's knowledgable, teaches internationally and easy to talk with. I was very happy with his approach. Highly recommended. :)

A pediatric surgeon operates on children and focuses on child-specific health issues, while a regular surgeon deals with adults.

No, but they wear the uniform of a Vice Admiral in the U.S. Navy. In 1987, the Office of the Surgeon General (OSG) was reestablished as a staff office within the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health. Concomitant with this action, the Surgeon General again became responsible for management of the Commissioned Corps personnel system. (Note: The Surgeon General does not directly supervise all Commissioned Officers; most work in PHS or other agencies and report to line managers of those agencies who may or may not be in the Corps.) In carrying out all responsibilities, the Surgeon General reports to the Assistant Secretary for Health, who is the principal advisor to the Secretary on public health and scientific issues.

As "America's Doctor," they provides the public with scientific information available on how to improve their health and the health of the nation. They also oversee the operational command of 6,500 uniformed health officers who serve in locations around the world to promote, protect, and advance the health of the American People.

operates on brains.

also, sometimes, on the periferal nerves.

Neurosurgery is the field of medical surgery that deals with the nurvous system. This includes the brain, spine, and major and periferal nerves. It is a particularly difficult specialty that requires a great deal of training and knowledge.

First you need to finish your baccalaureate degree, then go to medical school. After graduating with an MD, you take the board examination. Once you get a license, you apply for residency in general surgery for 3 years or depending on the program. After completing this you may become a fellow and get subspecialty- which would be neurosurgery for a number of years. After another exam, you are now privileged to practice as a neurosurgeon.
