(Ner-row-sir-jun)
Neurosurgeons are special doctors who treat disorders affecting
the brain, spinal cord,nerves,and spine.
In medical school they learn about many things such as the body, disease, laboratory tests, medication, surgery, and how to keep people healthy. Student doctors learn how to take care of real patients under the guidance of older doctors.
In addition, neurosurgeons, like all other doctors, must pass tests before they can be licensed. To keep up to date with medical advances, neurosurgeons continue to learn through special educational courses.
