I am about to be a college freshman and for as long as I can remember I've wanted to be a neurologist. My mom has a brain injury and I want to help people just like her. I can't really imagine doing anything else, but lately I've been wondering... I know doctors work A LOT. But I still want to...

I am very interested in becoming a neuropsychologist. I find it to be a very interesting field but I also want to be a child psychologist. Can someone tell me the steps in detail to become a neuropsychologist and a child psychologist? What do you have to study? How hard are the subjects? Where...

Hey guys ! Anyone have an idea about different movement disorders fellowship programs? Like which ones are the best academically/clinically/research wise etc. And is there an unofficial ranking of sorts. Clearly, the quality of training/reputation/ranking is different for medical schools...

Hi everyone! I was wondering how to do well on the Neurology clerkship-- not just resources for preparing for the shelf. Due to a different curriculum, I haven't done a physical exam in about 3-4 months. Yikes. 1) Do you recommend having a pocket book to refer to? If so, which one (MGH, Rapid...

I'm sure that the MD/Ph.D vs MD question has already been asked, but I'm curious specifically about neurology and neuroscience. Aside from better funding, what would you be able to do as a neurologist MD with a Ph.D in neuroscience, as opposed to just being a neurologist?

Hello everyone. I am fortunate enough to have been accepted to both of these institutions, and I had a small list of questions. 1. Board Preparation/USMLE: How active is each school's administration and curriculum in preparing students for the boards. 2. Match Lists and Future: I am from...

Hi, I'm actually not a doctor, I'm just what you'd call an 'enthusiast' of science, engineering, etc, and one of my interests is artificial intelligence, and so I'm looking to discuss neurology. I asked this question some time ago...

Hello I am a US IMG interested in a neurology residency. My step 1 score is 248 and I am honestly confused about the competitiveness of this score. I checked the most recent Charting Outcomes for the IMG of those who matched in 2013, and 248 seems to be quite competitive, but those data reflect...

I was just wondering if Dr. Vilayanur S Ramachandran, the brilliant neuroscientist, has Parkinson's. If you watch some of his lectures from the past and now, you can notice a dramatic change in the way he walks, his gestures etc. Do you think he could possibly have Parkinson's?

Hello, I'm currently an MS3 close to having to decide on fourth year schedules and wanted to ask for advice in regards to choosing to go into neurology or family medicine. I posted this earlier in the neurology forum but wanted to see what those in family medicine thought. A little background...

Hey everyone. I need some advice from people who know more than I. This thread is really more about program styles than these schools specifically. I interviewed at both and REALLY like both programs, people were great at both programs. I'm going to rank these as my top 2 but I can't put one in...

I am a dental student and I realy like studying neurology. Is it possible to study further in neurology after I get my BDS? And is it possible to become a neurologist?

I'm in that program and I would not do it again. Here's why: 1. They're on probation again. They've been on probation twice in the last 10 years. 2. They've had 4 different program directors in 5 years. Wtf?!?! 3. The biggest complaint in the resident survey was NO education. You will not...
