Hard work: It takes a lot of hard work and dedication. You're looking at 4 years of college, 4 years of med school, and at least 3 years of residency. There will be tons of brute force memorization. And with all the changes in healthcare occurring now, the medical landscape could be completely different by the time you finish. Good luck!

Dedication: It requires excellent academic performance in medical school and superior performance during neurosurgical rotations. It is very competitive. You must be willing to work harder than most. Good luck.
