Raja, we have been discussing your career and aspirations for a while now and we appreciate that you want to take Career360's opinion on the matter of your career. So by now, you are aware of the fact what it takes to become a neurosurgeon and what it is to clear USMLE, practise as a resident in the US. We also have discussed the life style and the salary part. Now regarding the first half and later half of the career, we only wish we could predict our timeline on this planet. We do not which might be the first half or which might be the later part. But no wish is bad. If you want to achieve something, you should lest you regret for the rest of your lofe. Now to practise in the US, you may have to appear for USMLE, clear the step 1 and then practise as a resident before you can get the license to practise as a full time neurosurgeon. That is a long process that might take good 4-5 years. You study MBBS in India for 50 months and then complete the 1 year rotational internship and it takes you as many as 5 years. And appearing for USMLE and then working as a resident take another 4 years and so 10 years of your life are spent getting a valid license to practise in the US. And then lets say after 5 years you want to move to Singapore, that takes a whole different processing because you need to appear for their license exam. And you work in Singapore for lets say another 5 years and you come back to India. 15 years of your life are spent studying and getting licenses. But the beauty is within 15 years you can actually get license to practise in 3 countries. So you need to take a call. Or how about you finish MBBS in India, move to Singapore to study your MD/MS and plan on moving to the US? That way the transition is going to be smoother.

Hello,

Taking into the data collected from several HR sources, the average salary is $540,000 for a neurosurgeon in the United states which is way more than cardiologists who earns an average of $447,138 followed by orthopedic surgeons who earns the least of them.

But it further depends upon factors like reputation, experience etc. of the surgeons.

Hope it helps!!

The Academic profile in India is different from that of Foreign countries. You should have a MD/MS  in Neurology as the minimum qualification. You will have to complete a course which is accredited by the  Accreditation Review Commission on Education for the Physician Assistant i.e ARC-PA. After completing a program accredited by the ARC-PA, you must pass the Physician Assistant National Certifying Exam which is called PANCE. Certified Physician Assistants need to take the Physician Assistant National Recertifying Exam PANRE during the last two years of the six-year certification maintenance or the 10-year certification maintenance cycle.

Dear Ashok, AFMC doesn't have neurology as a specialisation. It doesn't have MS Neurology but has MCh Neurosurgery as a superspeciality. This course is only available for service officers. Any vacant seats left after filling with eligible and qualified Service officers will be given for civilians. Such positions will be filled through relevant entrance examination which is NEET PG.
