What are your opinions/thoughts on this? Has anyone else heard of this happening? What I mean is making it one residency program.

Oh.. wow.. I digress.There are dual Psych/Neuro residencies available already, psychogirl.

I honestly don't know too many people interested in these programs. The scope of practice is pretty different between the two disciplines. As far as I can tell, you really don't have much of an advantage in terms of obtaining a job as either a neurologist or a psychiatrist by having board certification in the other field.What's the trend with these programs? What are the upsides to having gone through them?
I'm not sure how hard they are to get into. There are very few of them in the country, so the ratio of applicants may be a lot higher with neuro/psych residencies. But thats about it. Neurology and psych aren't competitive specialties.Are these easier to get into? Is it awkward applying to both neuro and neuro/psych at the same hospital? Thanks!

My aunt in law suggested something like path+rads so you can read your own x-rays and don't have to send it out....
FLpk1girl86 intends to do a dual neurosurgery/path residency, so she can interpret her own brain biopsies.That said, in any field that uses radiology, you'll become proficient at reading your own films. But, you'll have an expert set of eyes to catch anything you miss.
