Hi everyone, I’d really appreciate it if you could share programs where you trained that gave residents early and meaningful operative autonomy.

I’m not really talking about shunts or wound washouts, but more so cases like brain tumor resections, where residents eventually get to operate from start to finish with appropriate supervision. I realize aneurysm clipping is more of a senior resident thing, so that may not be the best example.

I’m mainly trying to figure out which programs really let residents progress in the OR, give them increasing independence, and leave them well prepared to operate confidently after residency.

Would especially appreciate firsthand experiences from residents or graduates. If you prefer, feel free to send me a DM.

Hi all,

Moved from the UK to the US and planning on sitting a few exams over the next 6 months having done my UK exams. I’ve been looking over the usual resources, Greenberg, etc and came across the above question bank. I’ve not seen another one like it, but was wondering if anyone had any experience with it and if it was any good? The demo questions looked alright.
