When was neurology competitive?

[fedor]

At the moment neurology is one of the least competitive fields (surprisingly, since it is certainly one of the most interesting fields in medicine). Was there a time in the last 40 years where neurology was competive or have neurology residencies generally always been easy to get?

It is a misconception that Neurology residencies are easy to get. Overall you'll more than likely match somewhere, but the top programs (as in all fields) are in fact VERY competitive.

Anyway this topic has already been discussed before. Take a look for yourself:
