Are we supposed to hear about submissions today?

Should we try to take step 3 before residency starts? If not when should we take it? Does it matter for fellowship applications?

Hey all, what are some of the chiller/non malignant neurosurgery programs out there? I know they are a lot of malignant personalities in neurosurgery and I would generally love to avoid programs where a vast majority of faculty and staff are malignant.

Hey y’all, I’m a 3rd year Med student at a top 25 medical school currently torn between Ortho be Neuro. I have good stats, research and strong mentors and will probably match well in either specialty. I have completed rotations in both specialty. However, with application season coming up soon, I need to make a decision and comit within the next week?. I like basic neurosurgery ie subdural evacuation etc but the more complex things don’t interest me ie tumor. I feel like if I go into neurosurgery, I’ll end up in spine. With ortho, I don’t mind doing THAs and Placing femoral nail. The main reason I’m still considering ortho is because it’ll make a spine surgeon faster than neuro. Has anyone here faced a similar situation. If so why did you choose Neuro over Ortho

I was wondering if someone can shed light on world-renowned institutions in functional neurosurgery outside the US and Canada. The field is growing so fast including neuromodulation, epilepsy and brain-computer interface. I am interested to hear some thoughts

What is the best resource to learn the basics/fundamentals of neuroradiology?

Anyone have any idea how many aways to apply for this year? 

Mid 240s step with some pubs from a mid-tier school.

Matched into a program that has opportunities to pursue an MBA, MPH, or an MS in BME. 

What are the benefits of having these as a neurosurgeon? It seems like you can surround yourself with business savvy people, engineers, etc if you have specific interests. 

Does a second degree make you more marketable after residency? Am seriously considering picking up a degree if I can do it part-time and remotely but want to know the risk-reward ratio.

Does anyone know more details about the Endovascular fellowships in FL?
Mainly I'm looking to know more about UF-Gainesville, Miami and USF-Tampa.
If anyone knows more I'd like to know about case loads, moonlighting options, hands-on/off experience, overall experience. 
Thank you guys! Stay strong!

Hi everyone,

Engineer here. Applying to neurosurgery programs this coming year, always have had a strong interest in being involved in device development/etc. as compared to traditional basic science endeavors. What programs are more open to this approach during research years?

I know Stanford has Biodesign. Any others that can help their residents with this path?
