What kind of special training does a neurologist have?

Les Weiner (Former Chair of the Department of Neurology, University of Southern California) gives expert video advice on: What are the most common symptoms of a neurological problem?; What are the most common neurological diseases? and more...

After medical school, you need at least one year of medicine, which is a prerequisite, for a full year. And then there's three years of neurology residency. Most neurologists take a fellowship. So my fellowship was in research, but there are fellowships in electrophysiology, neuroradiology, in neuromuscular diseases, and cognitive problems, et cetera, et cetera. So overall most neurologists with the year of medicine, three years of neurology, and either at least one or two years of fellowship, have about six years of training.
