I am an M3 at a 1-year preclinical program so second year was core clerkships and 3rd is now electives, sub-Is, aways, etc. I am very interested in Neuro and FM… I know they’re very different but each has components I love and I can see myself being happy in either I think.
I am doing 2 Neuro electives (no sub-Is in Neuro offered) this year, and I had a core rotation in M2. I’m also doing an IM sub-I, and an IM ICU sub-I. However I don’t want to apply to FM—if it comes to that—and have programs think they’re just backups. If I switch to an FM sub-I, I’ve heard Neuro programs may not appreciate that.
I’m on the FM interest group leadership board… which I know doesn’t mean too much but I guess I have that. My med school research is Neuro and DEI involved so I could spin it either way.
I’m asking this now because I have a chance to change my schedule in the coming months and I want to be sure I optimize my time.
Any recommendations?
