Which healthcare professional requires the greatest amount of education prior to working?

A neurosurgeon requires the greatest amount of education and training. After college and medical school, neurosurgeons complete a lengthy residency and may pursue additional fellowship training; neurologists also attend medical school and complete residency, but typically have less postgraduate training. A neuroscience nurse and a neuro physical therapist generally follow different, shorter training paths.
