I assume you mean programs that have tracks to include or not include the prelim year? If so, yes.
If you mean programs that fully train you in IM and then fully train you in neurology, there are only a few left (for good reason) and you would definitely want to distinguish why you would be interested in full training in both specialties, thereby making co-application with standard neurology training more difficult.

I think OP means combined program vs neuro categorical...and whether it's kosher to apply to both tracks at the same institution.
I believe there are only 2 combined programs, at Tulane and Wisconsin.
For NCC/neurohospitalist, I'd imagine a combined program would prepare you more for that track. That's one reason I'm considering combined programs. However, I wonder if there'd be any utility in just loading up MS4 year with an IM sub-I, ICU, cards, pulm electives...
