Neurologists push meds; neurosurgeons cut and cure.
It is not that hard to become a NS, only takes alot of time - about the same as for a cardiac surgeon or a trauma surgeon. Few neurologists become surgeons as there is NO shortcut; lots of surgeons become neurologists for whatever reason.
You can apply from med school for a program that has NS or most go to a general surgery residency and then transfer over. "Scores" don't mean much. Recommendations do.
