Hello,

Wondering what advice everyone has received in light of many institutions not taking away rotators right now. Not sure how long the restrictions will last. Are you still applying through VSAS for summer months? Didn’t want to have more than one letter from my home state but it might be necessary if it lasts.

does anyone have any experience with Haines vs Blumenfeld clinical neuroanatomy texts? if so, are they worth the purchase

Looks like by the end of this, all aways might get canceled. Wanted to start a discussion:

How do students get letters? How will programs react? Will this disadvantage students at lesser known schools?

I want to wish everyone participating in the match good luck. I truly wish you all the best. No matter what the outcome know that hard work and determination will get you to your destination.

our department has made zero changes for the coming infection
we have a bunch of big spine wacks next week, all elective
some resident is going to get infected and need hospitalization or will just spread it to all of our patients

has anyone's neursorugery department made any changes?

FUCK THIS SHIT! ABNS canceled the primary exam until further notice. Less than 24 hours notice.

Hey everyone,

I'm the PGY2 neurosurgery resident at Carolinas Medical Center. I wanted to share a new scholarship we have just started to provide financial assistance for applicants from underrepresented backgrounds during their sub-internships with CMC. Sub-internships can be a costly experience, and I personally benefitted from a similar program during my application phase, so I am very excited that we are able to provide this opportunity.

Here’s the link for more information:

Also, there are other programs that also have scholarships available for rotating students, and below is a link to a PDF of some of these opportunities.

If you have any questions about our new Diversity Scholarship or our program at CMC, feel free to send me an email at grahamgmulvaney@gmail.com

What’s the consensus on missing time during aways to present at a conference like CNS? Seems like it’s not worth the risk but would like to hear what others think.

What are the best study resources to prepare for this?
