Hello ,
Anyone aware of open position PGY 1, 2 or 3 nationwide ?

Thank  you

Greetings,
Would anyone have a sample dashboard they would be willing to share? Looking for best metrics to highlight Neurosurgery service in Level 2 trauma center. Thx

So last year this was nice and juicy, time to do it again! Who stood out to you on the 2019-2020 interview trail and why?

I'm still in training but I've heard functional pays really badly. Does anyone know what people in PP and academics who have functional make up a substanial part of their practice are making?

I guess it's not the first but pretty uncommon. Failing for self-assessment on multiple attempts and now have to take it for credit. Any recommendations on how to pass at least? Apparently SANS questions are not enough even though I solved all modules +700 questions.

Citow and Pssarows seem very dense and memorizing won't work well because board questions were very specific even if you came across the idea before.

Would really appreciate recommendations on how to pass this nightmare

Is it just me or is everyone in residency suddenly a social media editor for this or that neuro journal or society? Appearances are starting to matter more than substance.

Yes, I’m a hater

Curious if anyone has insight into how 1st author reviews are seen - honestly I think they're pretty fluff.
