Any recs for particularly good spine cadaver (or didactic) courses? Industry or academic.

M3 thinking ahead about possible sub-I's. Curious if anyone has done a sub-I at UC Irvine and if so, what was it like?

Thought I'd set this thread up as a hub for us to discuss Dr. Myron Rolle's next moves and career advancements

Anyone have a list of sub-i locations that have an exam at the end that helps determine your grade?

I know UCI has one. Any others?

Going through 3rd year right now. High passed everything so far (school is P/HP/H system). Obviously goal is to try and honor some damn rotations but my school makes it very difficult. 


Step 1: Pass
Pubs: 1 basic science from undergrad, 1 clinical in nsg, 1 poster, 1 abstract
Pubs in review: 2 (soon to be 3) basic science papers, 3 clinical papers, 2 abstracts

Honoring every rotation would have been ideal, but how much am I hurting my chances if I only High Pass everything during 3rd year?
I understand doing well on Step 2 and killing my Sub-Is is high priority as well.

How will this impact residency admissions, and the future of the field?

Hi guys, I'm a IMG currently doing my first years as research fellow at a very big name university in the US. 
My original goal was to get into nsgy and I've always known that it would be very hard as IMG, but I was nonetheless very committed. However many things happened in life in the mean time, so short story short, I don't know if I'm willing to spend my next 7 (8) years with no life outside of the hospital. 

I wanted to ask you if you could rate my chances of matching into neurosurgery after 1 year of fellowship with the following credentials. Also rate chances fo ENT or radiology as secondary options. My current research projects heavily overlap with these 2 fields:

Step 1 258
Step 2CK 260
YOG 2021
At least 7 good articles (not case reports / letter to authors / reviews) within the end of 2023, if not more.
Step 3 within the end of the year.

I know this is the 4chan of neurosurgery, but I still hope for serious answers 
thanks

thoughts?

Looking for a job where i can spend 3-6 months off a year and take half the pay. Is that possible? Has anyone heard of that?

Anyone hear about CNS abstracts yet?
