Qualifications:
How does a Neurologist become board certified in Neurology?
Fun facts:
* Keep in mimd that some neurologists elect to continue training after residency. This is known as specialty fellowship training. Fellowship training is not shown above. It is an option for select sub-specialty training in certain specific fields of neurology after successful completion of general neurology training.
A fully trained neurologist may elect specialty training in a variety of neurological sub-specialties of interest. This involves application to sub-specialty programs and their successful completion under direct supervision of sub-specialists in that particular field of neurology. These training periods are typically 1-2 years in duration.
A neurologist may even elect to study and train in more than one fellowship field. After successful completion of the fellowship and if desired, the neurological sub-specialist is then eligible to apply for board certification in that particular sub-specialty. This involves applying for, being accepted, and successful completion of the board in that particular field.
