This is a two fold question:
* What electives should one take in their 4th year of med school if they know they want to do psychiatry. I know psychiatry should be front loaded since you need LORs. Maybe an EM, IM, FM, Neuro rotation to prepare for intern year?
* What are the hours like in psych residency. I know it is program dependent and rotation dependent. Is it something like this for the avg:
Year 1 - 60 hours
Year 2 - 50 hours
Year 3 - 40 hours
Year 4 - 36-40 hours
