I Heard that there is a program for students who are interested in neurosurgery without having to go through medical school. Is this true? Has anyone heard of anything like this? Being accepted into a allopathic residency without a Medical Degree, I know it sounds absurd but this is just from what I have heard by couple students.

Only thing I know of is the physician assistant program 1 year neurosurg residency..
Much of the time in neurosurg they are too busy to teach...

No. If you mean Medical Degree as in (MD), then its possible, and very limited as a DO to be accpeted in to an allo residency. But in order to take Step I and II you have to be in medical school (MD or DO), and you will NOT get a residency at all without taking step 1.

is it possible to take the USMLE 1 and 2 without attending medical school, or taking atleast USMLE 1 without going to medical school?

No. Even foreign medical graduates must be enrolled or have completed their country's equivalent of a US medical education. Besides, even if it were possible you'd likely score a 12 or something.

Nope. You have to be enrolled in med school just to sign up for it.

No offense, but are you serious?

That was exactly what I thought.

This is obviously not true.

hmm, find that really hard to believe...

I believe this is an excellent example of "winding you up," "taking the piss," "ragging," "teasing," etc.
