Neurosurgery is the Surgical discipline focused on treating those Central and Peripheral Nervous System diseases amenable to mechanical intervention. DEFINITION AND SCOPE According to the U.S. Accreditation Council of Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) {Link without Title} , CONDITIONS Neurosurgical conditions include primarily Brain , Spinal Cord and Peripheral Nerve disorders. Conditions treated by neurosurgeons include:
JOB FIELD Neurosurgeons work in a variety of practice settings. Some neurosurgeons practice general neurosurgery, while others choose to limit their practice to specific subspecialties. Some areas of specialty include pediatric, spine, vascular/endovascular, tumor, peripheral nerve, functional, and skull base. Practices range from solo practices to large group practices with multidisciplinary components. Increasingly, neurosurgeons are working together with psychiatrists, neurologists and therapists to provide comprehensive care for patients with neurologic disorders such as back pain. About 20 percent of neurosurgeons practice under the auspices of a university practice plan, while the majority of neurosurgeons maintain private practices often with academic affiliations. Typical work schedules for a neurosurgeon include call coverage for one or more emergency rooms requiring sometimes frequent emergency surgeries. Most averages found online describing typical salary for a practicing neurosurgeon in the United States are between $300,000 and $500,000 annually, though these should be considered as weak small-survey estimates based on the values given by the AAMC.
