Mentorship
#1
I was wondering if it is okay to reach out to someone at different institution and ask them to be your mentor. We have home NS program, but I would really love to reach out residents or attending at another institution. The PD/Chair will be retiring soon... before I apply for residency. Thank you!

Do you have any connection to someone at another institution? I did this because I wanted someone objective to give me more perspective on the process, but it wasn’t through a cold email

Actually reached out to a number of people. Consider alumni of your school that are in neurosurgery

Second this. Neurosurgery grads of your med school are a great resource.
