Hi Oreoluwa,
It typically takes about 12 years to become a neurologist. 4 years are spent as an undergraduate working toward a bachelor's degree, and then another 4 years are spent in medical school. After medical school, graduates will then undertake a one-year internship, followed by a 3-year residency program.

Hello,
It should take approximately 12 years to become a practicing neurologist with a doctorate degree. The first 4 years are spent obtaining an bachelor’s degree, and the the next 4years are spent within medical school. Medical school comes after you take and successfully pass the MCAT exam. After medical school, there is 4 more years, which consist of an one year internship and three years of residency.
