No home neurosurgery residency program -- use a sub-i month there first? |

My medical school does not have a neurosurgery residency program, though there is another residency program in the same city at a different medical school. I will have 3-4 months for sub-i's/away rotations -- which would you recommend of the following options, and why?
1. Do a neurosurgery rotation at my home institution first, even though there is not an associated residency program. (I've been told this would help me prepare for my away rotations and do well on sub-i's, but I'm hesitant to use up an away rotation slot when I know a rotation at my home institution would not boost my rank list/chances of matching there.)
2. Do my first away rotation at the university hospital/med school in my city with a residency program, and emphasize that I consider them my "home residency program" since my medical school does not have an associated program. (That way they wouldn't expect me to already have done a rotation at my home institution? This is a program that I am interested in attending for residency, and so I don't want to ruin my chances by being unprepared for my sub-i there.)
3. Do a neuroradiology rotation at my medical school first, then follow with option #2. (I thought this might increase my preparedness for neurosurgery sub-i's since I would refine my anatomical and radiographic knowledge.)
Any advice would be much appreciated!

Can anyone leave a blurb about some of the programs they have interviewed at? Like the format, feel, facilities etc? I'm getting my app for next year together and want to know a little about places I haven't heard about. Thanks

SUB-I applications question |

Several away electives do not operate through VSAS and only require a CV+chosen dates. Since no transcript is requested, would it be appropriate to include medical school coursework and grades in the CV? Or is this overboard?

Alternate careers within neurosurgery? |

Hi all, I was just wondering if anyone knew of any alternative options a nsg can pursue following finishing a full residency? Are there any examples that anyone knows of (either personally or through others) that have switched careers entirely to something like biotech CEO, consulting, or medical entrepreneurship/inventing among others. I'd really like to hear about these types of individuals and their respective paths!

Who do we usually contact about second looks? Presumably the PC, but how about also letting the PD or chair know?
