Hi all, Non-trad applying to MD programs here. I'm curious if it matters to admission committees that my PhD is in Psychology (Neuroscience track)? I'm not sure if committees would regard this differently from having a PhD in Neuroscience from a Biological Sciences department instead? I do have...

I'm sure that the MD/Ph.D vs MD question has already been asked, but I'm curious specifically about neurology and neuroscience. Aside from better funding, what would you be able to do as a neurologist MD with a Ph.D in neuroscience, as opposed to just being a neurologist?

Good or bad idea? The master's would be related to neuroscience (will probably seek a psychiatry residency) and would happen after medical school.
