Neurology and neurosurgery are non related tracks. Neurology is really more of a medicine specialty (tho it is not a subspecialty of Internal Med and requires only a 1 year Medicine internship followed by 3 years of Neurology.
Neurosurgery is a fully surgical subspecialty that may begin with a General Surgery residency but must end with the completion of a 6 year Neurosurgery residency.
