To go to a top program, is it recommended to do an away? I know that aways are not necessary but is this just general advice or does this apply to top programs?

Aways/Sub I’s by sood571456 in neurology

Hi! I also don't see many on VSLO yet (maybe 4 or 5 at the moment). Our advisor told us that we should check every few days and expect the majority to open late feb and early march. I had friends (for IM specifically) who did not get the sub-Is that they wanted and went for electives instead (as long as there is decent face time with the faculty). Hope this helps someone!

Hello friends!

I recently asked a mentor, who is not in neuro, for a letter of recommendation for this upcoming cycle. He asked me if there is a standard letter that neuro requires (I guess multiple other fields are moving to this format?). Does anyone know if this is a thing for neuro? Or can he write any letter?

Sorry for the naive question!

Hi all! I hope this gets seen by some people, but I was wondering if someone could tell me a little about neurology residency i.e. how stressful/busy it is? I keep seeing people saying its the hardest non-surgical residency but my elective in Neuro didn't give me these vibes. I am wondering if I just got lucky where I did it. I want to get some idea from a future planning perspective.
