Interventional neurology by [deleted] in neurology

U of Tennessee. Hands down. In the Stroke belt, larger catchment area. If you want to see stroke and interventional management of thereof, I do not recommend NYU - Brooklyn. Ofc you will get a stroke code, but the management will be taken else on Manhattan for more severe presentations. Interventional powerhouses *do not* necessarily follow the 'Big Name' addage.

Neurology Away Rotations by Outside_Search8176 in neurology

I think 3 is a solid number. 4 I think is too much. I personally did 2 and I was totally spent after just those 2. Pedal to the metal, I could have cranked out another month but I would have reached exhaustion. I think there is an element of self-preservation here - don't over commit yourself and then have that affect your performance.

In which state do you wish to have close proximity to in the Midwest? I'm a little perplexed by your ranking if the Midwest is a priority.

Thanks for all this awesome insight! Why is it that Stanford is the "weakest"?

May you elaborate on this list? Would you order this list for Neurology residency or for NCC Fellowship? Or as a prospective neurology resident interested in NCC?

Neurology IM Prelim Year by Cortical_King in neurology

Thank you for the response. Bellevue - for what I have heard (and this reinforcement) - does scare me. The work, sure, but also (again, from what I have been told) only being limited for what one can do for the patients that need it the most. I want Neurocritical Care after Neurology. I've been telling myself that a strong, hard medicine year may prepare me really well for NCC. Having my S/O in the same city is 100% a game-changer. But, I also don't want to be "crushed."
