Hi everyone - not a neurosurgeon, but my SO is, so apologies if this is a stupid question.  I've done as much research on forums as I can, but haven't found enough info anywhere.

Is there much hope of finding a (decent, non-toxic) job within the greater Boston area given all the residency programs for someone who doesn't have any ties there?  My SO did his med school, residency, and fellowship (spine) in the midwest, and is now 5 years out.  He's interested in PP or "privademics", but feels that he wouldn't be very competitive given all the prestigious schools/hospitals and market saturation.  I would like to settle down in MA as I grew up there and have family there (he's amenable otherwise).  His only real requirements are a non-toxic working environment and ideally no more than ~60 hours a week.

TLDR; Will doing my PhD in a cardiovascular lab doing work with endothelial cells in athero hurt my application in neurosurgery later down the line?

I'm looking for a lab to join and have gotten conflicting advice on which lab I should go with. I could see myself enjoying both labs and it really comes down to how my application will benefit/suffer from which lab and the funding of each lab. My school is not very well funded in neuro research and the lab that I am interested in isn't well funded and does not have a great track record, but it is neuro research that I am interested in. On the other hand, our cardiovascular labs are well funded and have a great track record, I like this lab, the people, and find the research very interesting, but it isn't neuro and that is worrying me a little bit when it comes to neurosurgery application. The main consensus I am getting from people I have talked to has been to 1. Find a lab you fit into and 2. find a well funded lab but they don't really mention if it would hurt my application to pick the cardio lab. So my biggest question is if I pick the cardiovascular lab will it hurt my neurosurgery residency application?

Aside from recent UPMC position that was posted, does anyone know of any other pgy3 spots that may be open?

Just wanted to throw it out there, I just read Gray Matters by Dr. Schwartz out of Cornell and thought it was a great read for all levels. Cool history of the specialty and insights into the future from a pioneer!

What's up with Temple in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania? 1 a year program but graduates seem to go to good fellowships.

Not sure what the volume would be like with University of Pennsylvania and Thomas Jefferson nearby

Any insight into possible intern openings this year?

Neurosurgerymemes has previously posted they are boycotting CNS this year after the biased, inaccurate zionist letter posted by the CNS supporting the genocide against Gaza and Palestine overall. Word on the street that Elad Levi and Nader Pouratian are the mastermind of this raging zionist letter, which comes as no surprise if the rumor is true.

I know several members are boycotting it this year and curious to know your thoughts on a hot topic that our government badly failed to handle well and zionist CNS members took the advantage of it

Open PGY-2 spot available at Wake Forest. Prior resident decided neurosurgery was not their passion. If interested email lewilson@wakeforest.edu or send a pm if interested in more details.

Thoughts on INOVA fairfax? I'm thinking about applying here. I know they're a relatively new program but was wondering if anyone had thoughts or could share their rotation/interview impression. Facilities and location seem great.
