Vascular Neurologist
Vascular Neurologists are medical doctors who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of cerebrovascular diseases, which affect the blood vessels in the brain. These diseases include stroke, aneurysm, and vascular malformation. Vascular Neurologists use a variety of techniques to diagnose and treat these conditions, including physical examination, imaging tests, and surgery.
Becoming a Vascular Neurologist
To become a Vascular Neurologist, you must first complete a bachelor's degree in a science-related field, such as biology, chemistry, or physics. You must then complete a medical degree from an accredited medical school and a residency in neurology. After completing your residency, you must complete a fellowship in vascular neurology. This fellowship will typically take one to two years to complete.
