Im on placement in Neuro ITU just now, and omg its amazing!! Got into theatre to see removal of craniopharyngioma. The stuff they do, and the patients I look after, well its great!
So neuro is definately one of my choices!!

You'll have to study medicine... Studying Neuroscience as an intercalated BSc could help.

So you are saying that I should go to Neuroscience as an intercalated BSc...and then do Masters in??????

I wanna go to Biomedical cuz I havent done too well in my IGCSE

Nono. You need to study medicine.

You cannot be a neurosurgeon without studying medicine.

Medicine - 5yrs
iBSc - 1yr
Post graduate training

You can always to neuroscience as a BSc and then GEP medicine, though that's a risky route (i.e. you can't guarantee you'll get a GEP place). And anyway, seems bit odd to commit to one, fairly small I imagine, specialty before you even get to medical school.

**Kinkerz** · 03-09-2008, 04:58 PM

Plus it's an extremely competitive specialty and hardly any people succeed in it.
Commiting to neurosurgery before medical school sounds dodgy, saying you're interested in it is different. But it sounds as though you're 100% commiting to it - have you got any experience of it? Do you even know what the job includes?
