Has anyone done or heard of any skull base fellowships outside of the US that are open to taking US residency grads?

Is Andrew Jea chair at Oklahoma? What happened to Dunn?

Couple questions about call as an attending.

How often do attendings have to come in when on call? How does this vary with pediatrics? 
Does the type of call or the cases seen on call vary based on subspecialty (pediatrics excluded)? For example, will a functional neurosurgeon be expected to cover trauma/etc?
Does call coverage vary based on how research prolific someone is? I noticed this trend when looking at my departments call schedule. 

Thank you

Hi, there are a couple labs I'm looking at. One can give me a few 1st author clinical pubs e.g. 3-5 and a maybe like 5 co-authors on mostly clinical, maybe 1 basic sci or translational.

Another can give like 1 very good basic sci pub, and a few co author on clinical pubs or basic sci.

The last lab just cranks out a bunch of clinical pubs, so like 20+, but they would all be co-authors, maybe 1-2 first author

Anyone know of any PGY3 spots? Just stuck in a toxic program. When the workplace dynamics are more stressful than the job… maybe it’s time to move.

anyone heard anything about this site? pros/cons/etc

if home program and two subI's are all in different geographic regions, will that help prevent geographic bias for interviews later? will the regions you dont subI consider you, or do you limit yourself to the regions you do subI?

which is the better subI

is it better to withdraw subI apps before getting a decision? heard that programs won't interview you if you decline an offer to subI.

Hello Neurosurgery hub users!

I'm asking for advice on how to determine how much emphasis a program on research in the matching process? Is it mainly word of mouth, program reputation, who the chair is etc? 

I ask because I have built a solid application that is light on research. 259 step 2, excellent clinical grades, an MPH and what I believe will be very strong letters of recommendation from reputable faculty, but I am lacking in publications. Only 3 neurosurgery publications thus far in medical school (one 1st author, one 3rd author in a high impact journal), once you factor in case reports/abstracts/posters that number rises to 14 but from what I've heard those are not weighed too heavily. I hope I can continue building this part of my resume over the coming months but that is where I sit only 1 month from the end of M3. Truth be told I don't really enjoy research that much. While it can be interesting, it is not what has fueled my passion for neurosurgery. I'm sure I will continue to do some research as a resident/attending but I'm the type of applicant who would much rather do an enfolded fellowship to spend more time in the OR than do a research project as a PGY5. 

I know a research year would be recommended (which I am considering) but if I were to apply this coming year what programs have a history of not weighing research as heavily as their peers? I assume this would take the large academic centers like MGH/Pitt/Hopkins/UCSF etc off the table which I'm perfectly fine with as I'd be willing to go anywhere in the country to train. Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I'm trying to do my due diligence as I compile a list of potential locations to do Sub-Is and programs to signal. 

Thank you in advance
