Is this generally possible? If you are in UCSF, could you arrange to work under a PI at Stanford (assuming you had funding) during your two research years? Other examples: UCLA resident at USC or Caltech, Baylor resident at Rice or Houston resident at Baylor, Columbia Resident at Cornell etcetc.


If there is no already-present consortium between two institutions, is this possible? Perhaps might be easier if you are working for two PIs - one at home institution and another at the other uni.

Besides spending 3.5 years at the NIH vs 2 years of research in the UVA program (which apparently can also be done at the NIH), are there any big differences between the two? I'm guessing both set you up well for academic neurosurgery.

Does anyone know what the clinical experience is like at the NIH?

What are considered good skull base fellowships, in terms of research vs clinical? I’m asking about skull base tumor and cerebrovascular programs. For example, Cornell’s seem like observerships.

Acceptable as a MS2 to email faculty you have not met before about observing in cases, etc.?

Alright everyone! We're 2 days in and I'm seeing some updates trickling in. I'll keep this going throughout interview season. Good luck!

For the nsgy residents/attendings out there? Do you have any hobbies?

As a med student, I love the high acuity (or high stakes) parts of nsgy (vascular/tumor). However, I also value having a life outside of the hospital. I haven’t seen a thread on this yet so I thought I would bring it up. Is it possible to balance dedication to cerebrovascular neurosurgery and non-neurosurgery interests?

To all interested applicants,

Thomas Jefferson Neurosurgery program will be holding a virtual question and answer session on Thursday October 22nd at 7PM eastern time. Since this year unfortunately many of you could not attend or do a rotation at our institition, we hope to see you all at this session before formal interview process starts where you will get an overview of why we think our program is amongst the best in neurosurgery from both our senior residents as well as our program director and assistant program director.
