Hey everyone. I've been heavily considering dual applying neurosurgery/IM or Rads, but am wondering if this is a good idea.
Goal is to maximize for geographic preference if possible (certain east coast region). Unfortunately am worried that I'm not a great applicant so wanted to see how things would play out on my end. I don't want to go unmatched obviously, but I also don't want to end up in the middle of nowhere for 7 years. I come from a top 30 school.
Step 1: 235
Honored surgery/psych
40 papers on CV (neurosurgery related)
3 surgery device patents
Worked for a few surgical device companies (think spinal cord regeneration) during med school. Personally secured over $2M in NIH grant funding for said companies.
