need something that’s going to get me though the long shifts

Also if you have other recommendations on what to buy please lmk

The title

Med student considering neurology and wanted to know if after residency is it possible to work 9-5 with no call, nights or weekend as outpatient neuro?

For those who will graduate residency at ages 37-40, can you give me some hope? Or would you recommend I look at residencies where I will finish at 35-36?

Feeling down because I’m not sure I can have the specialty I love and the life outside of medicine I want.

Edit: thanks guys for the great responses. I guess I should have added that I’m female so the reproductive clock is also freaking me out and playing a part in this decision

Saw a post and it got me thinking. For those of you who like residency better than medical school, what specialty did you go in to?

Who would you pick to add to your neuro research?

1. Closest friend, not neuro, he would probably put in the work but I would worry about seriousness and following through on promises. And he loves AI which worries me

2. A new friend, finds neuro interesting, never done research, very stressed personality, would have to hold her hand through the entire thing. Also can’t keep a secret to save her life so I’d have to be ok with everyone & their grandmother knowing I’m doing this project

3. Acquaintance, is thinking about Neurosurg, busy travelling all summer with his gf. Outlined that he’d be interested in a project depending on who is involved but also that time is limited.

4. Acquaintance, not neuro but has published a lot and some have been neuro related, graduating in a few weeks then going home to Europe. Has asked me to join a project she has going on but the journal she picked is not indexed. Her previous pubs are indexed.

*crossposting cause I’m desperate*

I need advice

For context I am a medical student.

So I started a research project as a solo narrative review and brought it to my supervisor. It was my first one and I wanted to do it really well so I followed (the applicable) PRISMA guidelines aside from registering on prospero and having a second person to screen articles.

I brought this work to my supervisors and they suggested I switch to a scoping or systematic review.

Now for the advice. I need to choose someone to include in this but my choices are slim. No one really likes neuro at my school so here are my options:

1. Closest friend, not neuro, he would probably put in the work but I would worry about seriousness and following through on promises. And he loves AI which worries me

2. A new friend, finds neuro interesting, never done research, very stressed personality, would have to hold her hand through the entire thing. Also can’t keep a secret to save her life so I’d have to be ok with everyone & their grandmother knowing I’m doing this project (I’m a very private person)

3. Acquaintance #1, is thinking about Neurosurg, busy travelling all summer with his gf. Outlined that he’d be interested in a project depending on who is involved but also that time is limited.

4. Acquaintance #2, not neuro but has published a lot and some have been neuro related, graduating in a few weeks then going home to Europe. Has asked me to join a project she has going on but the journal she picked is not indexed. Her previous pubs are indexed.

Goal is to do the bulk of this over the summer. Any advice is welcome.

Hi everyone! I am a medical student and I was wondering if it is better to diversify my neurology research topics or stick to one subspecialty?

Currently both my clinical and research experiences span multiple subspecialties individually and combined. Just wondering if breadth or depth is more appreciated when it comes to neurology.
