Neurosurgeon2be Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 Hey all, I'm currently in medical school and have received less-than-stellar grades so far (~3.4/4 GPA). Due to some adverse personal circumstances I no longer am interested in medicine and instead would like to pursue a career in neurosurgery. Is it even feasible for me to do so, with such grades?

avenir001 Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 just when i thought i'd heard it all on here... u want to become a neurosurgeon w/o completing medical school? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olu Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 i dont believe that this person is in med school. like i literally dont find this credible. there is no way that a)you can become a neurosurgeon without a medical degree and b)you wouldnt know this if you were in med school c)you would be asking the premed forum this question without having first spoken about it with a classmate or prof anyway, no you cannot become a neurosurgeon without "finishing" your medical degree. if you are "no longer interested" in medicine then how could you be interested in neurosurgery?

Jewels1986 Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 Maybe they mean that they used to want to do internal and now want to do neurosurg, and are worried that their grades aren't competitive enough? Still a bit confusing though - I didn't think Cdn med schools really gave GPAs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmorelan Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 Probably means he is in "premed" rather than medical school proper. In any case the post doesn't make much sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutler Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 you gotta read this as if it were a verbal passage....the person is no longer interested in medicine (aka the fake stuff)...he/she just wants to jump into the cutting into brains (real medicine) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madz25 Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 Hey all, I'm currently in medical school and have received less-than-stellar grades so far (~3.4/4 GPA).Due to some adverse personal circumstances I no longer am interested in medicine and instead would like to pursue a career in neurosurgery. Is it even feasible for me to do so, with such grades? Which school? No medical school in Canada gives out grades. It's all pass/fail or honours/pass/fail. As long as you've passed, that's all that matters. You can change your mind a thousand times about which specialty to pursue as long as it's before residency applications.

unknown user 7 Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 I think the OP means premed and maybe doesn't have a clear understanding of how the whole system works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
