What is a Neurobiologist?
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.
What qualifications and training will you need?
It usually takes about 14 years of university-level training to become a neurologist in most countries, as well as passing several national-level certification exams. A person has to complete a medical degree, pass national-level tests to get a medical license, and then take an additional three to four-year residency, which consists of specialized training in neurology.
