Hello...I just had 2 questions:
1. If you were triple boarded in psych, child psych and forensic psych, would that make it easier to get more forensic cases in a private practice setting (since you would be uniquely qualified in dealing with child custody cases, etc.)...or would it not not make much of a difference?
2. If one wanted to go down this path, by fast-tracking into child psych after 3 years of general psych...how would you do it? Would you focus on doing child-psych research during your adult residency, get into a child psych program after 3 years, and then start doing forensics research for 1 year during the child psych fellowship, and apply for forensics? Or is it possible to get into a child psych fellowship without doing any child psych research, but only forensics research (since that is the harder program to get into)?
