Neurologists enroll in a fellowship program to have deep experience in their specialty area because they are responsible for diagnosing and treating the complex conditions of the nervous system. Neurologists are also trained to perform a number of diagnostic tests to know the cause of a disease of the nervous system. Based on the tests, neurologists start treatment for a particular condition.
