=__CAREER REPORT: //Neurology//__=



I would like to become a neurologist. I believe that there is a plethora of ways that this jobs suits me. First of all, neurology is highly involved with science and math. These are my best subjects, and I really enjoy learning new things in these areas. Already having an interest in science and math will help me a lot if I want to become a neurologist because I will need to go through many, many years of schooling, and if I didn't like those subjects, it would be unbearable. Also neurology calls to me through the job environment and tasks. Physicians such as neurologists typically meet with patients throughout the day, listen to symptoms, authorize tests, etc., (you'll learn more about what neurologists do daily in a later paragraph.) and then they use problem solving skills to determine diagnosis and treatments. While I love analyzing, comparing, and studying information, tests, and particles, I also really enjoy speaking with people and being able to be comforting, since most neurology patients have major spine/brain problems. The fact that this job has a meticulous side, but also an extroverted side really matches my personality. As seen in my results above, for almost every career test we've done, I have obtained the results of "Investigative" and "Social" as my top two matches. I would be able to do the math and science that I love, while also be compassionate at times. Furthermore, neurology, as with most branches of physicians, are typically leaders in their departments. All my life, I've been thrown into an assortment of leadership positions, so I think it only fitting that I should pursue a career that allows me to use those skills I've gained.
 * ===Career I Would Like to Pursue-===
 * ===Why Would this Suit Me?-===

Also as a neurologist I would be able to help people, which is valued greatly to me. I'm a Christian, and I've grown up believing that God gave me certain skills and aptitudes to help others. I do have aptitude for biology and mathematics, which would line me up for a multitude of occupations; however, only a narrow few have the face-to-face factors and availability for empathy as this career does. In addition to this, my father goes to see a neurologist for his Multiple Sclerosis. That woman diagnosed his condition and got my father started on treatment that, at the time, pretty much saved his life-- or at least his ability to use his legs. Ever since then, I have had an interest in neurology from the prospect of all the families I could help, just as mine own was aided in such a way. One part of being a neurologist that is very interesting to me is the diagnosis aspect of the career. There is a lot of responsibility in determining what the problem is, and if you make a mistake, it could be deadly. The fact that, as a neurologist, I would have that much influence on someone's fate is a little exciting. I hope that doesn't make me sound crazy... Neurologists have an overabundance of tasks and such that they may or may not carry out day by day, but I'll give you the shortened version of that. Neurologists are physicians who focus on the nervous system, which is primarily the brain and spinal cord, and they are well researched on diseases or issues with these areas. They meet with patients who have problems and help set up treatments, talk about costs, and study charts and data to correctly predict the progressiveness of the patient(s)' conditions. However, if the condition is unknown but a neurological issue is predicted to be the concern, a neurologist will be given the patient case, and they can order for tests to be run, leading up to the diagnosis of the condition. Neurologists work with many people within their facility everyday and deal with phone call and email discussions. They often work more than 40 hours a week. Becoming a neurologist, or any type of physician for that matter, requires extensive preparation through schooling. Typically, you have to get post-doctoral education, which is can be any sort of training or schooling after getting a Masters, Ph.d., M.D., or more. This residency is usually in a hospital setting or a work setting, where you work with or study other neurologists for many years before you are classified as a registered neurologist. So, to become a neurologist, you will have to spend 4 years at undergraduate school, 4 years at graduate school, and 3-7 years doing residency.
 * ===Aspects that Interest/Excite me-===
 * ==="Nature of the Work"===
 * ===Prepare for Your Career-===

In Oregon, there are limited locations to earn a Bachelor's in neurosciences, the main one being University of Oregon in the Willamette Valley. For any learning past an undergraduate degree, such as doctorate, the only option is Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU). There's quite a bit of information for the outlook of neurology in the future. According to the New York Career Zone, "Nationally during 2010, there were approximately 691,000 employed. Of these, 12.4 % were self employed. We estimate that in 2020 there will be 859,300 employed nationally. This represents an increase of 16,830 job(s) each year, and a total of 30,510 job opening(s) each year."
 * ===Job Outlook-===

The projected growth between 2014 and 2024 has been determined at about 14%, which is faster than average growth. The state with the highest job openings for Physicians & Surgeons is New York with 52,710 projected job openings in 2024, while Oregon is at 7460. In the United States, the median earnings are at about $206,920; however, in Oregon the earnings are only $201,710. For entry level neurologists, the average salary is only $109,790 while experienced workers can make more than $208,000. Typically, related occupations are any type of physician, but for neuroscience and neurology, the closest relating occupations are psychologists, pathologists, and surgeons.
