Dos and Do nots when on the trail

[Guest]

Would appreciate if current residents and interviewing candidates can give advice to the upcoming generations of neurosurgeons, especially, in terms of what to do and not do on the trail/ during interviews..

Do: Be nice to people
Do not: Be an asshole

Seems like everyone's on their best behavior on the trail.

Residents, can you really sniff out the weirdos?

Yes, but to be fair "weird" is subjective based on the group norm.

Yes it's so easy. Takes less than 30 seconds of interacting with you

What are examples of what's considered weird subjectively? Isn't weird just weird? Idk how that could rly vary by evaluator

General "weirdness": not talking to others, strange sense of humor, drinking or eating uncommon foods, using odd gestures/body language.

The other ones kind of make sense when you’re trying to sus out a sociopath but is the food thing real?

if you have to ask, be concerned.
