Carolyn Sue How do I become a Neurologist? The RACP is ultimately responsible for accreditation of basic training, and the examination and prospective advanced training for those wishing to become neurologists. On successful completion of the training programme you will become a Fellow of the RACP. The components of neurology training include three years of basic training, a written and clinical examination, then two years advanced training in clinical neurology with responsibility for patient care, and a year of training in an elective area. One year of a relevant MD or PhD may count for the elective year. Each year of your advanced training is accredited with the RACP by the Specialist Advisory Committee (SAC) in Neurology. This committee comprises members of the RACP and members of ANZAN. " I highly recommend considering a career in neurology. ANZAN is very attentive to the needs of their trainees. There were excellent opportunities to attend conferences and workshops. During my training, I was able to juggle the demands of full-time work and having 2 children. The RACP was supportive during my maternity leave and when I re-entered the work force on each occasion. Part-time accredited positions have even been created in select locations. Now that I am at the end of my training, I am excited about the wide range of career options which can be balanced whilst remaining the primary caregiver in my family."
