Neurologist
Duties and responsibilities: A neurologist is a medical doctor
or osteopath who has trained in the diagnosis and treatment of nervous system
disorders, including diseases of the brain, spinal cord, nerves and muscles. Neurologists
perform neurological examinations of the nerves of the head and neck; muscle
strength and movement; balance, ambulation, and reflexes; and sensation,
memory, speech, language, and other cognitive abilities.
Salary: $228,161 annual
Education: Similar to other physicians, neurologists must begin
their careers by going to college and then attending medical school. As an
undergraduate, aspiring doctors 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.
Do you think you would like to be one?
No because I am not interested in this career because it has to do with neurology.
