What instiutions offer a neurology-psychiatry residency program. Over here in the Philippines, there is only one hospital offering the program. Another thing, what would I have to do to get into this sort of program, considering I'm an FMG.

Thanks alot!

i think there are 7-9 such programs in the US, the few i looked at accept 1, or at most 2 students per yr-quite competitive i would guess-and some even lay out how competitive on their web site, you need competitive board scores, research etc etc, might be rough as a FMG unless you are amazing... look at www.scutwork.com and around for the list of programs and their urls...

I was wondering what the current info on this was. Are there more programs out there?

I find that most physicians that specialize in more than one specialty or who graduate from any "joint" program are rather mediocre. They are hardly impressive on either subject. This also applies to MD/lawyers.

Be good in one field. Not mediocre in two. Harsh, but ....true.

According to FREIDA, there are 10 such programs...search combined specialties (last one on list is Neurology/Psychiatry)
