Hello, I’m a PGY3 Neurology resident applying fir fellowship this year. I am thinking between Neuro-Ophthalmology (because is chill and lux and have good life style) epilepsy (because I think it might be good job opportunities) and vascular (field that I’ve done alot of research projects in and initially was my favorite but I’m not a fan if life style and being oncall anymore)
I recently heard that neuromuscular has the best job market among all of sub-specialities in neurology. I would appreciate help if anyone has more informations.
I am also just applying at UCLA, UCSF, Stanford and colombia.

Dude. Search the forum.

All subspecialties have good job market. Sounds like you don't even know what you want to do, and a bunch of internet strangers should not be substituting your own research.

Damn. You’re all over the place.

Do a fellowship because you want to not for the sake of doing one, or worse, for FOMO.

Neuro-Opthalmology, epilepsy, stroke and NM are very very different. The fact you’re equally considering all of these tells me you’re not psychologically committed to either.

On top of all that, you’re intending to limit your application to a handful brand name places.

Take a step back and re-evaluate. No one is holding a gun to your head and making you decide now. It is totally appropriate to take a year or two gap after residency to figure out what field you want to pursue.

I get limiting yourself regionally for a variety of reasons, but when you add Columbia to the other 3 institutions it becomes apparent you need to think through everything you are doing much more carefully.

You really want that Cali life don't you?
