AI Thread Summary
Becoming a neurologist in India involves navigating a complex educational pathway that includes an undergraduate degree, specialization, and residency. Many aspiring neurologists find it challenging to obtain clear information about the necessary courses and degrees due to a lack of accessible guidance. There is a call for experienced professionals, such as practicing neurologists, to share their insights and provide a structured blueprint for prospective students. This issue is common among students pursuing various higher studies, highlighting the need for better career guidance resources. Clear and accurate information is essential for those looking to enter the field of neurology in India.

I want to be a neurologist in India. However it is horribly difficult to analyse all the courses involved and degrees needed to practise, through the net. It is frankly because there is hardly anybody with the correct knowledge and those with the knowledge hardly reply. I just want a basic blue print of the things I should do, the degrees I should get, the years I need to study(like 4 years for undergraduate then 4 years for specialization and then 2-3 years residency etc).
I was wondering with the dense roots of knowledge surrounding these forums, its not hard to guess that many of the people who answer may actually be working in the field, like perhaps an actual neurologist can be a part of the forum without me knowing! And the information I could get from him would be immensely helpful!
This I like to believe is not just my problem, but almost every student pursuing higher studies as they would like to get the basic lay out of the courses they would need in order to pursue their careers.

I had something I wanted the scientific community to know and slipped a new idea in against the rules. Thank you also to @berkeman for suggesting paths to meet with academia. Anyway, I finally got a paper on the same matter as discussed in those forum threads, the fat lens model, got it peer-reviewed, and IJRAP...
About 20 years ago, in my mid-30s (and with a BA in economics and a master's in business), I started taking night classes in physics hoping to eventually earn the science degree I'd always wanted but never pursued. I found physics forums and used it to ask questions I was unable to get answered from my textbooks or class lectures. Unfortunately, work and life got in the way and I never got further the freshman courses. Well, here it is 20 years later. I'm in my mid-50s now, and in a...
