Neurology Elective before Interviews

[studyingforever]

I am applying for Psychiatry next year. I will have my Psych Core and Sub-I by interview time, however, I will not have completed my Neuro rotation. It is one of my last rotations, so I won't have it while interviewing. How important is it to have the Neurology rotation early on for Psychiatry residencies? I am going to try and schedule it earlier, but I am not having much luck. Thanks so much!

Not important.

Not important.

Agree. My rotation was not until November (half interviews over and half done during this block). It never once came up, much less come up as an issue.

I seriously doubt that any admissions committees will care when you have neuro.
