Hi folks,
I'm a 3rd year DO med student seriously thinking about med/psych. Some questions?
How competitive are these programs?
Most of the seem to be at university affiliated hospitals, this would seem a major plus in terms of the overall atmosphere, quality of the program. Is this true? I'm really hoping to avoid facilities with poor patient care values and a malignant educational environment.
Some people tell me there absolutely no point in doing med/psych. That anyone is "just going to wind up doing one or the other so why don't you just pick one." Thoughts on this analysis?
Any general comments about your experience, if you are glad you chose med/psych, or why you are considering it. Thanks!
