The neurosurgeon
Duties and responsibilities: Glendale Adventist Medical Center's Neuroscience Institute is committed to providing the highest quality of care for patients suffering from brain conditions, including stroke, brain tumors, aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) and much, much more.
Salary: $395,000
Education: Minimally invasive spine surgery utilizes a thin telescopic device equipped with a video camera, referred to as an endoscope, which allows spine surgeons to see inside a patient’s body. The endoscope is inserted through small incisions, generally half an inch wide, and the spine surgeon sees exactly what needs to be corrected without the conventional spine surgery complications.
Demand or need for this profession: in surgical specialties, however, was less than half that of physicians in general between 2004 and 2008. The fastest-growing surgical specialty in 2008 was dermatological surgery, which was growing at a rate of 188 percent. In comparison, the ACSHPRI stated that the number of neurosurgeons in the United States grew by 26 percent between 2005 and 2009.
