Hey guys ! Anyone have an idea about different movement disorders fellowship programs? Like which ones are the best academically/clinically/research wise etc. And is there an unofficial ranking of sorts. Clearly, the quality of training/reputation/ranking is different for medical schools...

Hi everyone! I was wondering how to do well on the Neurology clerkship-- not just resources for preparing for the shelf. Due to a different curriculum, I haven't done a physical exam in about 3-4 months. Yikes. 1) Do you recommend having a pocket book to refer to? If so, which one (MGH, Rapid...

I'm sure that the MD/Ph.D vs MD question has already been asked, but I'm curious specifically about neurology and neuroscience. Aside from better funding, what would you be able to do as a neurologist MD with a Ph.D in neuroscience, as opposed to just being a neurologist?

Hey everyone. I need some advice from people who know more than I. This thread is really more about program styles than these schools specifically. I interviewed at both and REALLY like both programs, people were great at both programs. I'm going to rank these as my top 2 but I can't put one in...

I am a dental student and I realy like studying neurology. Is it possible to study further in neurology after I get my BDS? And is it possible to become a neurologist?

I'm in that program and I would not do it again. Here's why: 1. They're on probation again. They've been on probation twice in the last 10 years. 2. They've had 4 different program directors in 5 years. Wtf?!?! 3. The biggest complaint in the resident survey was NO education. You will not...
