UVA vs UVA-NIH
#1
Besides spending 3.5 years at the NIH vs 2 years of research in the UVA program (which apparently can also be done at the NIH), are there any big differences between the two? I'm guessing both set you up well for academic neurosurgery.

Does anyone know what the clinical experience is like at the NIH?

Clinical experience is lighter but does expose you to some interesting cases. The focus while you're at the NIH is on the lab work however.

UVA/NIH program split up. NIH likely to team up with Georgetown. UVA will have 1 protected research year and an enfolded fellowship PGY7

UVA-NIH program track no longer exists. UVA is taking 3 residents this cycle for their own program. NIH is taking 1 resident this cycle but currently working on finding a partner that will take their residents for clinical experience

+1 although I do believe it's Georgetown.
