😕 An IM or FM resident is allowed to enter a child fellowship?
I've heard of an FMG doing a fellowship to get clinical experience for the sake of applying for a categorical residency but that case was an FMG who had at least done psych in their own country already.

So there have been cases where I've heard of people doing their child requirements before finishing their adult requirements. I met someone on an interview who was doing that. Mostly because of book-keeping issues in the department. I think there weren't enough child spots for everyone in the residency class that wanted to do child, so someone did their child a year or two early, then came back to finish their adult requirements.

Apparently, it's possible...I'd assume anyone from another specialty doing this would have to finish their adult psych requirements after the child ones, so it'd still take 4-5 years.

Yep, my medical school's psych department has done that many times. Keeps the spots filled. I saw them do it as 2 yrs child psych + 3 yrs adult psych or 2 yrs adult psych + 2 yrs child psych + 1 year adult psych.

If you did an intern year in IM/FM/(peds?) and had already planned to transfer into psychiatry, it seems like this would still be doable.

Googling the phone number makes it look like it's SUNY-Downstate.
