Hi all,
So I get the feeling not many people end up on this path, so I wanted to reach out for some input. Surgery isn't for me and I want to do neurology, but I'm not sure if the surgery intern year will satisfy the requirements for neurology. From what I've seen on the ACGME website, 8 months of IM rotations are required, but I did several non-surgery heavy rotations as part of my intern year (ICUs) and I'm curious if anyone has any experience or input on if those would count. Additionally, I was just curious to see if anyone knew of any anecdotal stories about successfully transitioning to a neuro PGY2 utilizing the surgery intern year to fulfill a portion of the prerequisites.
Thank you for any and all input!
