Hello!

Anyone have any general pearls in distinguishing the superior vermian vein from the precentral/vein of the cerebellomesencephalic fissure?

I keep confusing the two in images.

Cartoon below implies superior vermian runs more dorsally over the vermis, but then the labeled rhoton/Cohen image subsequently labels the vessel as precentral

Recommendations?

Hey everyone!

I'm an MS3 interested in an academic path in neurosurgery but also want to be well-trained technically after completing my residency. I have seen many disparaging comments with regards to MGH in previous threads but was hoping that someone could provide a more nuanced, honest and updated appraisal of what neurosurgical training at Mass General would be like?

Thanks!

Thoughts on Northwestern in the Lesniak era? Is this a strong operative program?

Does anyone know about their patent policy for residents? Do they allow residents to keep all patients, like some other places? 

Thank you

Hello ,
As we head towards the subi season. Can you please shed some light on the pros and cons of neurosurgery residency at Pitt? Is there actually time to do proper research considering the heavy volume? Thank you

What are the pro's and con's to train at UTSW? also how is everyone doing research on different programs?

How reliable are websites like residency explorer or FREIDA in terms of Step 1 scores? Residency explorer says one of the nation's best program like Pitt averages between 236-245. A little wary about these stats on this website.

I know of some at MSK and MD Anderson. Does anyone know of good summer research programs aside from those?

Thank you!

Looks UPR lost its accreditation. I honestly didn’t know they had a neurosurgery residency but was this expected? What happens to their residents?
