Thank you in advance for assistance!
I am applying MD in June. I have research experience in addiction/mental health during undergrad. I currently work in an addiction facility. I have a passion for these patients, but I do not want to limit my future opportunities after medical school. I do not have plans, at the moment, to pursue a career in psychiatry/addiction/mental health. However, I do love neuroscience and behavior.
I plan on applying for my CDCA, chemical dependency counselor assistant, cert to expand my scope of practice during my gap year. My question is, will this peg me as the pre-psych-guy and show that my interests are narrow/limited in medicine? I do have experience in primary care and emergency medicine.
Thank you again.
