Child Neurologist
A Child Neurologist is a medical doctor who specializes in diagnosing and treating neurological disorders in children. These disorders can affect the brain, spinal cord, and nerves, leading to conditions such as epilepsy, cerebral palsy, and developmental delays. Child neurologists often work closely with pediatricians and other healthcare professionals to provide comprehensive care.
To become a child neurologist, a doctor must complete medical school, followed by a residency in pediatrics and a fellowship in neurology. They use various diagnostic tools, including MRI and EEG, to assess a child's condition and develop appropriate treatment plans tailored to each patient's needs.
