  programs to avoid?
Posted by: Guest - 09-03-2022, 03:31 PM - Forum: General interest - Replies (80)

What programs are best to avoid if you can? (ie. malignant, miserable residents)

What programs have crappy resident culture?

Any programs where residents don't get good operative experience (triple scrub, low autonomy)

Input welcomed.

  In person or virtual?

Which programs are interviewing in person and which virtual? Wouldn’t it be better if they stuck to virtual?

  Which programs require step2ck?
Posted by: confusedandconcerned - 08-23-2022, 10:17 PM - Forum: On the trail - Replies (2)

I have a scored step 1 and my med school advised me that I did not have to take step 2CK before submitting ERAS. Are there any programs that will explicitly not interview someone without a step 2? How can I find this information? Haven’t seen it explicitly stated on any program websites.

  How will I know when I have become the best neurosurgeon?

How will I know when I have become the best neurosurgeon?
Will it be when I have become chair? Will it be when my salary is 3x my partners? Will it be when celebrities refer other celebrities to me for surgery?

  Is skull base complex?

Is skull base neurosurgery onsidered the technically most challenging surgical specialty?

  ERAS Experiences
Posted by: Guest - 08-17-2022, 05:17 PM - Forum: On the trail - No Replies

Any thoughts on bullets vs paragraphs for ERAS experiences section?

-Bullets are a more traditional CV.
-Paragraphs allow for more explanation and creativity.

Getting conflicting advice... 

Thanks.

Anyone know of any skull base fellowships where you get to operate a ton? I’ve heard given the nature of the subspecialty, most fellowships are hands on.

  Higher Step 2 score
Posted by: Guest - 08-12-2022, 10:05 AM - Forum: General interest - Replies (4)

So I got a 240 on step 1 and recently got a 268 on step 2. Does this score make my step 1 no issue anymore or will it still hold me back ?

  What is the highest board score you've ever seen/heard ?
Posted by: Guest - 08-10-2022, 06:24 PM - Forum: On the trail - Replies (13)

Interviewers, residents, and medical school students , what is the highest score you have ever seen?

I know of an IMG (matched at a top3 program) with double 265+. I think that is the highest I have ever seen/heard. 

Of course, now it is less relevant with P/F boards

New to this forum, just curious on opinions. I'm a tx student, and I am curious how the usnews rankings for the tx programs are so vastly rearranged from ast year. Utsw went from #19 to #30, baylor st luke jumped to #15, and even bcm moved above utsw. Hell the 3 mayo locations are above the utsw ranking. How insightful are these rankings? I didn't even know baylor st Luke's was the best in Houston, let alone texas and #15 in the nation. Thoughts?
