What you need to know about becoming a neurosurgeon

We thought about giving you five easy steps but, let’s be honest, none of it is easy.



We’ve told you before how to follow your dreams and become a marine biologist, a forensic scientist or even a geologist in an easy(ish) step-by-step guide.

However, a step-by-step guide to becoming a brain surgeon would be both incredibly short and to the point yet, at the same time, extremely difficult to achieve.

For the sake of full disclosure, that step-by-step guide would look something like this:

Step 1: Get into medical school

Step 2: Complete an intern year

Step 3: Complete two years of core training in surgery

Step 4: Complete six years of higher specialist training in neurosurgery

Step 5: Pass all your exams

See? Five easy steps. It’s not brain surgery, right? Oh, wait.



The steps to neurosurgery in detail

Looking into those steps a little closer, entry into medical school requires high CAO points and completion of the Health Professions Admission Test (HPAT). Alternatively, you can obtain a 2.1 bachelor’s degree first, perhaps in biology or anatomy.

Towards the end of your medical school education, you must apply for your intern year. Following that, you will receive a Certificate of Experience, which will help you down the route of training to be a specialist.

Entry into core training in surgery is competitive and interview-based. The two years of core surgery training will include a performance appraisal and an exam for membership of the Royal College of Surgeons.

After trainees complete two years of core surgery training, they must compete to progress to the next stage: higher specialist training in neurosurgery.

This stage is made up of six years of biannual assessments, training courses, wet labs and modalities such as the Intercollegiate Surgical Training Programme. Trainees need to complete the curriculum and a final fellowship exam in order to receive their certificate of completion.

Now that you know the kind of education you’re getting yourself into on the path to brain surgery, what else should you know about becoming the next Derek Shepherd?

Personal skills

Aside from the obvious ‘hard skills’ that you will develop throughout your very long medical education, there are some other skills, traits and qualities that would be beneficial to a budding brain surgeon.

Dexterity might seem like an obvious one, but it may be one you overlook until you really have to start testing it. Dexterity can be enhanced with practice – the sooner you know you have to hone this skill, the better.

It is important to identify an unstable patient quickly because of the life-threatening nature of their injuries. Many of these are commonly faced, such as decreased consciousness, severe trauma, and cardiac issues EMRS see these cases enough to identify them quickly. How often, though, are emergency responders faced with some of the more unusual kinds of cases? Pick one of the following cases that falls into the rapid transport category: electrocution, a diving injury, or accidental/traumatic amputation.
