What are the largest (culture, philosophy, emphasis) differences between the T5 schools?
And, if we want to define T5 schools...
Harvard
Stanford
Penn
JHU
UCSF
NYU?
In broad strokes, how are these schools different from one another (outside of location)? As institutions, which prioritize community care? Which prioritize research? Or, any other descriptors/factors/metrics you can think of.
I think that this could be an interesting discussion (and one for future applicants to look back on). For example, I just recently learned from students at Penn that there is a big culture...

New grad ED physicians opposing tPA use for strokes
I am seeing more and more young ED physicians fresh out of residencies having almost a militant opposition to tPA use for strokes. They would call mild yet disabling symptoms as "TIA" even though symptoms are persisting and refuse to give tPA. One guy even aborted tPA in the middle of the infusion saying they are the attendings and we the neurologists are just consultants whose recommendation they can reject. Their NIHSS report 2 when it is actually 8 consistently for several days and MRI...

Questions about neurology from a medical student
I am an MS3 that has very little exposure to the practical aspect of neurology. I am very interested in what I have studied in neuro, especially stroke, imaging, CSF, spinal cord injuries.
Due to the fact that I will have very little neurology experience before I apply to residency I was hoping you could tell me about your experience in neuro residency/practice if you would be so kind.
What is your typical day like?
What are the boring aspects?
What are the most exciting aspects?
What kind...

Neurology - > Interventional Neuroradiology for DO
Hello, sorry if this has been addressed before but I can’t seem to find too much information on it on this website or on the internet.
Is it possible for a DO student to complete this path? I know there are three ways to do this (neurosurgery residency with fellowship, DR with fellowship, or neurology with critical care/stroke fellowship + fellowship). If I was going to follow this path, I’d be interested in the neurology path to this fellowship; I know fellowships have a correlation to...

PM & R programs with the most MSK rotations
I'm applying PM&R this year and have been trying to research all I can about all the different programs. The biggest difference between programs I'm seeing is the amount of inpatient vs outpatient rotations. Could anyone give insight to which programs have the most exposure to MSK/pain/procedural work vs the programs that are heaviest on inpatient TBI/SCI/stroke? (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Difference between neuropsychology and rehabilitation psychology
I'm an undergraduate student student and hope to eventually enter a clinical psychology program with a focus on neuropsychology. I recently learned about rehabilitation psychology and it seems to align with my interests very well. However, it seems that neuropsych and rehab psych are very similar. I was wondering if anyone could further explain the differences between the fields? Or how either specialty could lead to clinical or research work in rehab settings (particularly for stroke and TBI)? (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Personal Statement Review?
So the sticky is pretty much cold and dead at this point and there seems to be some radio silence going on up there.
