If you& #39;re a rising MS4/OMS4 going into #Neurosurgery, 1) I can’t imagine the stress rn, away rotations on hold, interview season in limbo, board exams delayed, 2) I’m here if you need to vent, have Qs/concerns (DM me!), 3) let& #39;s bring your “interview trail” to #MedStudentTwitter

Big part of aways & interview season was to get a feel for the program & city. You meet your potential co-residents, experience the culture/city. Cancelled rotations & virtual interviews will make it harder for applicants to embrace "the gut feeling" when ranking #MedTwitter

Let& #39;s make a thread w/ residents from different programs willing to answer Qs & give insight about program/city. If you& #39;re a resident wanting to help out reply & RT
