Skull base fellowship position available in Swedish Neuroscience Institute to start Aug 2020.
If interested please email CV to Zachary.Litvack@swedish.org

It seems like the department in Austin has been building up an interesting faculty core for the last few years. Does anybody know if they ever plan on establishing a residency?

Any advice on which Oral Board review is better?
CNS or AANS Goodman course?

How important is it to have Step 2 CK/CS complete prior to ERAS submission in September?

I scored a 250 on Step 1. I took time off for research after Step 1, and will be applying in the upcoming cycle. I would strongly prefer not to take additional time off studying now, so I can focus on my home sub-I and two aways in the summer.

Any calls from PDs yet? When can we start expecting to be contacted?

generally which programs consistently produce the most sought after residents / provide best junior level attending job prospects?

Any PGY 3 or 4 opening?

Hello,
I'm an MSIII planning to apply for neurosurgery this upcoming cycle. My school does not have a home program so I'm planning to do 3 away rotations at top tier programs (hopefully). How many programs should I apply to for aways? I've heard overdoing it can look bad if you're accepted into a program and turn it down, but I also don't want to risk not getting 3 offers. I recognize this is a nuanced discussion, but I'm just looking for input.

Step 1 score: 261
Step 2: not taken yet
Clerkships: I've honored 4/4 clerkships thus far (IM, FM, neurology, psychiatry); not sure how many I'll have honored by the time my applications are being reviewed
Research: 2 pubs in clinical research, 1 poster presentation

Thanks in advance.

How hard is it to get a position at an academic hospital if you didn’t train at a top 20 program? From what I’ve seen, residents at those programs have access to the resources and people who can make that much easier, it’s a self-propagating machine.

Hey if I don’t match you think it’s possible to scramble ortho? 

Ultimately I wanna do spine I just prefer spine with a side of brain but I’m ok in either tbh
