So, I have always been set on Psych (First experimental, then clinical), and never considered med school. Mostly because my primary interests are neuroscience and psychology, so being a physician never occurred to me. Not to mention, I have a math disability and have never taken math classes...
Hello all,
I am getting ready for Step 1 Level 1 and my NBME scores are high 50s to low 60s. (none > than 65). I am not happy with them and worried I may fail. So I am deciding between COMLEX and USMLE or just COMLEX and I was wondering how much of a detriment COMLEX only to matching Neuro and...

Hello, just matched neurology! I was wondering if the NCC pathways offers a higher salary at the end of the fellowship; I love CC and neurology, but I wouldn’t do a 2 year fellowship if it didn’t pay significantly more… I have 300K in student loans here lol. There’s limited data on this; I found...
Hi guys, I’m kind of new to this forum but I thought I’d give it a shot.
I just finished my second year of medical school and thank God passed Step 1. I go to an IMG school that is well known (not Caribbean) and has a near 100% match rate in the US each year. I have always been super interested...
The specialty I want is not very competitive (PM&R or Community Neuro) so I am just wondering how many board exams I will have to take? Would applying with a P on COMELX 1 and a STEP 2 and COMLEX score be enough or will programs require I take get a P on STEP 1 as well as a STEP 2 score?
So in my personal statement I talk about my interest in neurology and PM&R, due to being helped out so much in my life by these doctors, and how I think the mindset of a DO and OMM training can be a great asset for these specialties. I do not say these are the only specialties I am considering...
I apologize for the whiny rant to come. I’ve posted on here before about my inability to decide between psychology and medicine, and I think I’m finally getting to the point where I can’t keep putting the decision off. I’ve finally realized that my ability to not decide is partially based off of...
I’m a Neuro PGY-1 in Midwest finishing IM intern year and looking to transfer to other specialties (FM, IM, PM&R, radiology, or Neuro). Ok with either PGY-1 available positions or PGY-2 swap.
Replay or message me if interested!
I’ve been told that taking pre-requisite classes online is a big no no, but I was wondering if it matters that I take a neurology class online over the summer. I know it’s not a prerequisite for medical school but it is a science class so I thought I’d double check if online classes are looked...
Hello,
I will be graduating this semester with my B.S. in Neuroscience. I’m trying to figure out what route I want to take and I’m stuck/would appreciate any advice.

Using Zanki Step 2 Medicine deck with subsequent UWorld to prepare for the IM shelf. There is a seperate section from medicine just dedicated to neuro but there is about ~1,000 cards combined for it. I prefer to learn on anki and later on reinforce by doing the UWorld, but am not sure if that's...
Hi there,
I'm seeking friendly advice from people who have considered both MD and MD/PhD programs. Before you jump on me for not knowing if I want to do a dual degree or not and telling me I can't do it halfheartedly...I know. That's why I'm here.
A bit about me: I've been pre-med since high...
Hey everyone,
So I decided to apply to neuro fellowship this year but was wondering if there's a certain number of programs we should apply to in order to have a better chance at matching. I'm a US IMG at a community program; don't have a ton of research, so I feel like I need to apply to more...
Hi All,
I'm a young(er) clinician working with the Academy of Neuro PT to develop younger clinicians, but I also thought it'd be nice to dip into a student-based forum. I lecture at multiple programs regarding Parkinson's disease and wheelchair prescription.

What I've taken so far:
UWSA 1
NMBE 16 and 17
I also plan on taking 19 (or should I take 15?), then I'm going to take a "full length" back to back exam of NBME 18 and UWSA2, 10 day before my test.
I have 3 weeks left and my scores have been going up (yesterday my NBME 17 was a 225), but my...

I know I am definitely not the only one but as the end of 1st year coming along I'm getting more and more burnt out and depressed, which is bad considering our last course of the year is Med Neuro and its a nightmare!

Hi,
I am currently a 3rd year medical student interested in applying for ACGME neurology residency. My medical school class size is huge (in the 200's), but we only match 1-3 neuro residencies per year. So I don't really have too many alumni to turn for advice. I apologize if this type of...
Can anyone that has taken the USMLE or COMLEX give more detailed advice as to what Neuro concepts were tested. Any advice is much appreciated!!!!!!!! :)

-I'll be shadowing a neurosurgeon.
I honestly really love this...
