I like all aspects of neurosurgery, but I realistically know that it is pretty much required to subspecialize. Any advice from chief residents/young attendings on how you chose your subspecialty?

I hear that a lot of interviews overlap and sometimes one gets offered interviews at multiple places on the same date. Do programs let you switch with other people?  For those who just went through the match,  was that an option and if so,  was it easy to do?  Thank you!

Thoughts? Experiences? Advice?

Hi All,
Just wondering what advice you could offer someone with no home program. I am taking a research year and a masters this coming year but need advice on how to strength my app and how many subIs to pick and how to pick them!!


Thank you in advanced

I'm looking for an LGBTQ friendly program.  I'm a gay man wanting in the process of becoming a trans woman.  Which programs would be supportive of this? Thank you

how's the subI experience here?

Hello,

Does anyone have advice on finding a research year position between M3/M4? Don't have a home department and have been trying for months to set something up to no avail. I finish third year in about 1.5 months so need to find something soon. I would prefer financial support but would ultimately work for free, if necessary. 

Anyone know of any departments that may have a position or how to find these spots? Thank you.

How can I get published as a medical student?

Hello everyone,

how is research from different surgical subspecialties looked at? Is basic science or clinical better?
Have the opportunity to work in a otolaryngology basic science lab in a big 5 university and couldn't find anything neurosurgical.

With the average 15 research experiences people have now it can't all be nsg right?

Thanks!

Hello all! I'm looking for recommendations on who to set up meetings with during sub-i's, and when during the month to set these up for? I'm assuming chairman and residency program director. I initially thought a meeting would be best at the beginning of the month (to introduce yourself, etc.) but then also realized that asking for letters may come later in the month (once they know you) rather than earlier... so I'd appreciate any advice about this. Thanks in advance!
