Why I want to be a neurologist My name is Quan Wang, and my parents give me the given name Quan, because they hold the belief that this name could bless me to be a full-rounded developed person. After three years training in the top 1 neurology department of China – the neurology department of Peking Union Medical College Hospital, I consider myself as a high-level clinical neurologist now. I have stepped into the door of neurological world since 2013. In fact, master program is not the very first time I was charmed by human brain that is the most mysterious and beautiful masterpiece of nature. When I was a high school student, my general biology teacher, who was a graduate of neurobiology, taught us lots of knowledge of human nervous system beyond our textbooks. It was the first time I knew the structure and function of neuron. Axons, synapses, neurotransmitters and so many amazing things that exactly exist in my brain animatedly show themselves on the blackboard. The net of neurons looks like a huge palace with countless room, and it trapped me from then on. However, I love this feeling when I was wondering in this palace, because the deeper I explore into this palace, the more I know the dwelling of my soul and thoughts. Held the interest to human brain, I entered Xiangya Medical School, which was founded by the Yale University Foundation in 1914, to study clinical medicine in 2008. At first, I wanted to be a psychiatrist, but after a conversation with my teacher of anatomy Dr. Li, I changed my mind. When I told Dr. Li that I wanted to study on the nervous system of human and might choose psychiatrics as my major, he recommended that neurology might be better for me, because neurologists focused on the exact functions of each part of the brain. He told me the story of Broca’s area, and I was excited by this astonishing discovery of neuroscience, and I knew that I was attracted by these mysteries of human brain. So I spent my entire summer vacation time to work in the neurology department before the rotation.
