Just wondering how this works.

If I finish my neurosurgical residency training in Canada, and pass the board exams, obtain the FRCSC,

Whats the procedure involved if i wanted to practice in the US? (Assuming I already have all my USMLEs done)

Would i have to write the USA board exams of neurosurgery residency, and then only able to practise in US?

Your best bet would be to try to do a fellowship in the US.

NSx (and ENT) are basically the only 2 that you aren't board eligible in the US coming from Canada. Not sure what it involves exactly, but I know it isn't always possible/straightforward with those 2
