Can we put together a list of programs that have a gym on site?

I'm an avid fitness enthusiast and would hate to lose my hard-earned gains during residency.  Which programs have a gym?  If not in the hospital, close by?  Do any programs pay for a gym membership?  This will be a large factor on my rank list, so hopefully I can preferentially apply to those programs.

I just can't keep up anymore.  How do you guys all have 250s on both Step 1 and 2, 13+ publications, all Honors on your rotations, 3 sub Is, and 4 letters.  This is just insane.  

I feel so inadequate and miserable.  I have a Step 1 closer to the national average than neurosurgery average, can't fit in Step 2 while I'm on sub Is, and got a mix of H and HP this year.  I hope to finish up strong on my Sub Is and get solid letters.  Luckily I do have close to the mark on the research but I've heard so many people tell me that is the least important aspect.  

I just feel like giving up so many times during the day.  Nothing I ever do will be good enough.

Interesting study in Neurosurgery:

https://academic.oup.com/neurosurgery/ar...m=fulltext

I have several Digital posters from AANS and CNS. I am looking at ERAS and am unclear where to report these. The only category that seems to make since is "Poster Presentations" but since they were digital this may seem like I am embellishing my work. Otherwise I could put under "other article" but then this does not give one the opportunity to put the conference it was submitted at. Any suggestions?

How feasible is it to match into an ACGME neurosurgery spot as a DO with 250+ step 1 and all honors in both preclinical and clinical years (top 10% class rank)?

anybody heard anything about the georgetown subi or program? interested in DC since a family member lives there but haven't heard anything

Who else is applying this year?  Any tips to pad my CV?  Butter up letter writers?  Match at my #1?

I sent the following email to the ACGME hoping for some clarification regarding program closing:

Hello

I am the administrator at an online community for neurosurgery, http://neurosurgeryhub.org .  We recently learned of a program closing and there has been much questioning and speculation as to what happens next.  Would it be possible for someone to please clarify: 

1) What actions may lead to a program closing (perhaps historic examples)?

2) What happens to the residents who are currently in that program?  Does their funding from medicare come with them?  Does the program they join have to have an empty position or can they be an additional resident to the compliment?

3) What happens to the medical students who just matched to that program?  Do they have to re-enter the match?  Are they treated similar to current residents and able to move to another program.

Thank you for the clarification.



The reply I received encouraged individuals with questions to contact the neurosurgery executive RC either via phone or e-mail.  The contact information can be found at the ACGME website http://www.acgme.org/Specialties/Overvie...al-Surgery  Sorry I couldn't be of more help guys.

does anyone know anything about USF? Im thinking about applying for a subI there but was wondering if anyone had any experience with the subI or the program in general. Thanks

Is CAST equals to ACGME accredited fellowship?
I can't see any ACGME accreditation in fellowship program descriptions but some of them have CAST accreditation.
