Neurosurgery Pre Residency fellow position

Neurosurgery Pre-Residency fellowship position


Boston University School of Medicine
Department of Neurosurgery
Neurosurgery Fellowship
 
 
The Department of Neurosurgery at Boston University is seeking physicians for pre-residency, post-graduate fellowship positions in neurosurgery. Pre-residency fellows work alongside 8 neurosurgeons, 6 neuro intensive care neurologists, and neurosurgical and neurology residents at Boston Medical Center (Boston MA) and nearby St. Elizabeth’s Medical Center (Brighton MA).  The program provides broad clinical exposure in the neurosciences.  Pre-residency fellows are integral members of the neurosurgical team whose duties and responsibilities are commensurate with neurosurgery residency programs, include managing floor and ICU patients, night call, as well as assisting in the operating room and outpatient clinic. In addition to rotations on the neurosurgical services at Boston Medical Center and St. Elizabeth’s Medical Center, there is a significant amount of time spent on the inpatient neurocritical care service at Boston Medical Center, so those interested in neurology or neurocritical care can take advantage of this opportunity.  Fellows also participate in weekly didactic sessions including neurosurgical core conferences, tumor board, neuroscience grand rounds, and critical care problem case conference.  Opportunities exist for clinical or basic research both within the institution and the fertile Boston academic environment. Accepted candidates must commit to a minimum of 2 years in the program. Candidates should be eligible for a Massachusetts limited license.

These positions are flagrant attempts to recruit desperate trainees for scut slave labor, rather than paying more for an APN/PA, or attempting to increase the resident complement. I’ve met ONE individual who actually got a position as a resident after doing one of these, all the others I’ve met haven’t gotten a position, and eventually went into a different specialty, having lost a year or two of their lives.

Why not count these years towards residency? Sounds unethical ... to be doing residency work (according to the PD you are treated the same exact as a resident, no different with roles)... sounds like a way to get a resident who will do double the work as a PA/NP for almost half the cost...

Why not do a different residency that counts towards years of something and then reapply Neuro. That way at the end you are left with a board in something!

If a lot of these people hired to do the pre-residency fellowships were "unfit for duty/unprofessional" during residency...why would someone hire them in these non-accredited spots. to me that appears they can do the job ...

I've seen politics play a large role in neurosurgery (and general surgery). I've seen crap people get great jobs and and great people no job.

Same guy posting and asking questions about

How things should be
Vs
How things are

Accept the reality of the latter, and that unfairness is a universal constant in all aspects of life
