hey guys...i have this doubt constantly nagging at me day in and day out. im not really able to make a decision due to paucity of the correct facts..all i hear is just umm...hearsay stuff. so anyone experienced here and have done their electives and made it/or havent made it to their residency..please advise me on this matter. i mean i wanna take up neurosurgery ..i.e. first take surgery and then go on to specialize in neurosurgery..so keeping this in mind which electives is going to better my chances in getting matched in a surgery program?? research or clinic electives...or is there no such thing as to which is more prioritized?
and also a small question...but i guess it'll get a myriad answers....how tough is it to nail a residency in surgery for an img...i know all are gonna say its not impossible but its difficult...i mean can anyone really talk in numbers instead of just the gyan involved in it.one of my fren got a score of 262 which apparently is very good one...and quiet a smart fellow at coll always bagging medals n stuff..he cudn't get a surgery match...he did his clinical electives in surgery in usa but still he was refused one..so wat really are the chances to get surgery?? any img who got surgery and is moseying around in this site..please please....give us the message....or sandesh as we call it here...
