what kind of schooling do you need to be a neurosurgeon
A neurosurgeon is a physician who has earned a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) or Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) medical degree. Before becoming a neurosurgeon, individuals pursing this field go to school for many years. This includes 4 years of college, 4 years of medical school, one year as a student surgeon, and 6 to 7 years training in a hospital as a student neurosurgeon. That adds up to 16 years of school!
