Hey question or two for sdn world...
1. How competitive is Fm/Psych programs? Regarding is there special letters of rec I should consider, should I spend more EC time doing psych or fm during med school, whats the average step score of one of these programs (I keep reading that's its a little more competitive than either FM or Psych alone but both are rather low step1 scores and as such what ends up being a little bit more)?
2. I am still in the early stages of figuring out what I would want to specialize in as a physician and am apt to change my mind 20 times during med school, however at this point my goal is to go into addiction medicine and open up my own rehabs. I am interested in being able to address both the psych side of addiction as ell as being able to help early recovery type problems such as infections. Is it worth going through the time just to be able to treat both or is it possible to do both from both sides of the fence individually?
thanks in advance!!
