Pitt
#1
Hello ,
As we head towards the subi season. Can you please shed some light on the pros and cons of neurosurgery residency at Pitt? Is there actually time to do proper research considering the heavy volume? Thank you

A good way to get a sense of the final product of any program in terms of research is to look up the publication history of current chief residents and recent past residents. Decide if the average output is sufficient for what you're hoping to achieve.

Also look at the type of publications, especially for Pitt. They have a good number of NIH-funded neurosurgeons, but the most prolific residents probably are doing clinical/educational work (see Nitin Agarwal).

Email the residents. The Pitt residents were very honest about the pros and cons of their program because they want people who know what they're getting into. If you want to do research while doing more cases than any other program, it's going to take extra effort (or giving up other things).
