Hey I was wondering how hard it is to match once you fail to the first time

Hello Hub!
NSG Resident here looking for a reference book (which should be quite extensive) on Vascular Anatomy.
Any recommendations?

Thank you!

Hey, can someone please explain this whole pass fail step one thing... is this likely to happen, when will it be/ continue to be decided, and where can I read more about this? What will this do to neurosurgery applicants of the future?

does anyone have any experience with the eBook of Greenberg? Is it easy to use/searchable, or is using the hard copy a better way to go?

Step 1:240
Step 2:244
Research 6 papers none are basic science and 2 are case reports all of them are NS related 
Grades: h/p for everything but surgery(Honors)
School: ranked about 100, but we have a home program...

Hi, I’m a rising sophomore I’m college and I’m getting in as much research as possible l, by the time I get to lend school I worry that the average step 1 score for NS will rise and possibly exceed 255, is this a realistic possibility or am I just overreacting? Will neurosurgery competitiveness decrease due to the growing interest in “lifestyle” specialties?
Thanks

What usually happens when a resident falls asleep standing up in the OR. Shake it off keep going?

Is neurosurgery really that difficult of a specialty to match into? I read all over sdn, Reddit, and here, and it makes neurosurgery seem like the hardest specialty to match into... i was just looking for a down to earth answer of the difficulty of matching... I greatly appreciate it as I’m a rising M2...

How does my application look?
