Neurologist

A Neurologist diagnoses and treats disorders of the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. You might work in hospitals, private practices, or research institutions. Neurologists focus on conditions such as epilepsy, stroke, and neurodegenerative diseases. You’ll conduct neurological examinations, interpret diagnostic tests, and develop treatment plans to manage and alleviate symptoms.

Neurologists play a vital role in improving patients’ quality of life. You’ll need to be precise and analytical, with a deep understanding of neurological disorders. You’ll collaborate with other healthcare professionals to provide comprehensive care and support for individuals with complex neurological conditions.
