Neurologist
Research: look and provide the following:
Duties and responsibilities:
Neurologists may work in hospitals,
clinics or universities treating patients, conducting research or teaching
students. They are experts at the diagnosis and treatment of neurological
disorders, including stroke, dementia and intramuscular diseases. As clinicians,
neurologists examine patients and may order and interpret diagnostic tests in
order to determine the best course of treatment. As researchers, they may
participate in clinical studies and other research, write articles for medical
journals and give presentations at professional meetings.
Salary:
Median $228,161
Education:
Similar to other physicians,
neurologists must begin their careers by going to college and then attending
medical school. As an undergraduate, aspiring doctor who major in a science,
such as biology, chemistry or physics, will be better prepared for a medical
school curriculum. Although most colleges do not have a pre-med major because
medical schools do not require any specific major, some schools do offer a
pre-med concentration that may include the biology, chemistry, physics and math
courses required by medical schools.
