Has anybody else been hearing this on the trail? Have heard it from 3-4 places now. A couple interviewers have even strongly suggested that coming by in person would help my chances. 

Is this cycle going to turn into a game of who can make the most rendezvous with these programs?

Anyone have any experience/insight into Geisinger’s program?

Hi all,

Im an MD1 at a bottom of the barrell US MD school interested in neurosurgery. Problem is I do not really have a home program/dept. The nearest academic medical center is 100 miles away. Any tips from others that did not have easy access to mentors on how to get involved in things that will make me competitive? I have multiple poster presentations, a publication, a patent, etc in the neurosciences (not neurosurgery) from undergrad/grad school and might be able to shadow a neurosurgeon at a local hospital but research may be incredibly hard to come by. My school has sent maybe 4 people into neurosurgery residency in the past 15 years so asking others/alumni for help is also not working out well.... I do not have goals to match at Barrow or UCSF or anything and would be very happy one day matching at northeast program like Penn State (preferreded/favorite program & location), Geisinger, Temple, Jefferson, Maryland, etc.

At my med school the fuckers hold these inter-professional workshops every now and then. I was surprised to see all the hostility that some other fields expressed towards doctors. Hostility expressed openly, mind you. 

Things like rude, arrogant, overpaid, privileged, monopolist were through around like facts. 

Honestly, I think many of the criticisms were on-point. But a lot was overdone. 

What do you guys think? Do residents have to endure such bullshit too?

This is why I hoard interviews and plan to rank 30 programs. There is no reason that a program should be interviewing that many people per spot. Save the applicants and programs time by interviewing less.

I’m 6 months out from graduating from an extremely malignant program. I have a great fellowship lined up, and soon will never have to think of these people again. I honestly despise 3/4ths of my attendings (bad people doing unindicated surgeries and constantly lying). 
I really, really, really want to let them know how I feel about them at graduation. My initial thought was not to go, but my wife insists I attend. If I’m honest, is there anything they can do to me? If I don’t go to graduation, is there anything they can do to me?

Anyone really impressed/unimpressed with the program they did subi at this year and want to share what they thought of the program? MS3s have to start thinking about this soon..

Hey guys what do you think would be the new cut off for step 2ck interviews, in the upcoming years with the pass fail step 1. I have a 260 how do I stand? Of course I have like 50+ publications. No rudeness just a simple question

I have an unsolvable interview scheduling conflict and have to let go of one of these programs. Help me decide which. On the surface I like all three and would have absolutely kept them all if it was possible. 

Wash U St. Louis 
Michigan
Brigham 

Can I get some highlights, pros/cons, anything/everything on the table on the program and the city etc
