Neurosurgery ?? Help

Our members don't see this ad.
Hi There everybody, I have my MD from the UNAM (mexico university), and i have started my surgery residency, and derived to neurosurgery. I was wondering what it would take me to be acknowledge, in the US. And to be able to excercise medicine in the us.
Or maybe perhaps do a Fellow.


Also could someone plese tell me how the neurosurgery residency is built up and what you need to be able to enter it.
Looking forward to your help.

Step 1, 2. Neurosurgery is a 7 year residency program. Only around 150ish spots were available for 2008 MATCH. Extremely competitive. Absolutely need 99 on Step 1 and 2. It would be nice if you have research background and recommendation letter from a US neurosurgeon will be very helpful too since its a small community.
