Neurobiologist



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.
University
At the University of Otago, Neuroscience is available as a major subject of study for the degrees of Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Science with Honours, Master of Science, for the Diploma for Graduates, the Postgraduate Diploma in Science and the Doctor of Philosophy.

Subjects to Take


Biology, Chemistry and pre-med courses.

    1. Osteopathy is a form or drug-free medicine that is manually done to help treat and strengthen the musculoskeletal. This includes joints, muscles and the spine. It targets people's nervous, circulatory and lymphatic systems.
