Hi,
I just finished my post graduation degree in Neurology in India and I would like to know about the different tests I will have to write to practice as a Neurologist in America.
Thanks

Vasu

You will first have to get medical licensure in the US. For thet you will have to take the following exams:
(1) USMLE Step 1 (United States Medical Licensing Exam Step 1)
(2) USMLE Step 2 CK (Clinical Knowledge)
(3) USMLE Step 2 CS (Clinical Skill)
(4) USMLE Step 3
Once you are done with these exams you will have to apply for a residency training in the US which is a 3 to 4 year training period in Neurology. Then you are free to practice.
Hope this helps.
