How to become Neurosurgeon - UK edition

[@Brainbook]

Make sure you join us at the premiere and we can answer any questions you might have. The journey is long but worth it!!

[@TheMerlinEvans]

(Happy to answer any questions about the illustration/animation side or being a Medical Illustrator in the UK!)

[@trihardFTW]

What programme did you use for the illustrations & animations?

[@TheMerlinEvans]

@@trihardFTW I used Video Scribe (animation) and then used a mixture of ProCreate (IpadPro) and crayons/textured hand drawn and scanned in for the illustrations :)

[@trihardFTW]

How long would you say it took for you to complete all the animations/illustrations for this video? And out of interest, how long have you been doing medical illustrations? as this is something that i'm also interested in getting into.

[@TheMerlinEvans]

@@trihardFTW - It took just short of a week I'd say, in stops and starts with drafts and revisions and such? I draw fairly fast to be honest, but the bringing together of something like this takes time and Brainbook did lots of amazing editing and such which speeded things up for me (also did the script and audio)! I've been doing medical illustrations for a number of years now - first drawings in this field about a decade ago now. I'm just completing a postgraduate in Medical Art (through the Medical Artists' Education Trust - www.maet.org.uk ) and that's a part time course that's taken me about 3 years to work through all the coursework! There's two places you can study this in the UK specifically - Dundee and London so I recommend going to an open day for the courses in these two cities and seeing if you like it?

[@deemah-fm9xm]

I respect the effort so much. He's throwing years around like it's a joke 5 years here 2 years there.

[@crystalevans2123]

In the US, it takes 15 years to become a neurosurgeon. 4 years of undergraduate education, 4 years of medical school and 7 years of Neurosurgery residency and one or more years of fellowship if desired adds more time in.

[@elizabethbower2168]

I am Encephalitis survivor … My GP trained to be a neurosurgeon… I’ve had tremendous support from him over the years and because of his help I am able to live fairly independently in my own home… He explained to me that the brain is the most complex and interesting organ in one’s body

[@Brainbook]

So glad that you have had such excellent support and that you are feeling better!

[@taylorbrewer5852]

My mom and family members have many brain problems such as epilepsy, and I have seen what those can do to a family as it has torn mine apart, so for years I’ve wanted to be a neurosurgeon to help families like mine so they don’t end up badly and I want to save people. I’m not in this for the money as it is a nice bonus but I want to help people and I will work my hardest to achieve my goal no matter the cost and amount of dedication and hard work. I appreciate all the videos you have made on this topic. Thank you

[@suhashinisuhashini5588]

You are actually a well appreciator... in many things neuro-doc...!!!

[@trihardFTW]

When do you suggest is the best time to start building a good application for neurosurgery, would you say during medical school?

[@Brainbook]

If you really know you want to do it, the earlier the better. You can never start too early. However, even if you're completely set on neurosurgery and dedicate a lof of your time to making yourself more competitive, don't neglect other clinical attachments and specialties. You can learn a huge amount from them and will also provide you with a plan B!!

Hey I want to study neurosurgery in UK in my future. Thanks for suggesting

[@TheMerlinEvans]

Keenan - in answer to your question about where does most of the medical work come from, it's really mixed I'd say. My work tends to be around patient engagement and staff training/education and outreach, but some medical artists work 1:1 with surgeons doing surgical sequences; others are hired by NHS departments to do all visual comms for that hospital; others do textbooks and there's growing group of artists working entirely in 3D/app generated work. It's shifted and evolved a lot in the last decade as tech has leapt forward. It's a really exciting area of work to be part of, as you can work in collaboration with fascinating teams. Thanks for your question!

[@Savokization]

Thanks for the answer!

[@yourgjyshjasfabuloso]

I want to become a neurosurgeon when I grow up. thank you for the video any tips?

[@trihardFTW]

As a neurosurgeon, don't you think the 8-13 year long process puts many people off? And apart from neurosurgery, is there any other speciality that you would've liked to go into instead?

[@Brainbook]

I think sometimes it might, but a lot of surgical specialties have a long training process. I think that if you really want to do something and genuinely love it, time is not an issue. It's a marathon not a sprint so it can be very emotionally draining. And yes, sometimes people quit quite early on. If I didn't do neurosurgery I'd probably want to do either vascular surgery (they have a lot in common) or psychiatry!!
