Becoming A Brain Surgeon -
your fantastic mind

Tue, Jan 7 3:30 P.M. NH World (11.3)

The road to becoming a brain surgeon, or neurosurgeon, is widely known as the most difficult and longest in all of medicine. In the United States, neurosurgery residency training takes seven years after medical school. It is a competitive field where very few make the cut and achieve the dream. In this episode, we embed with the Emory Department of Neurosurgery's newest class of residents, taking viewers behind the curtain through their long days and long nights. From Emory's first African American woman neurosurgery resident to a man motivated to enter the field after lifechanging brain surgery as a child, we shadow these first-year residents as they begin their arduous journey.
