Neurology Subspecialties - Lifestyle and Income

[JCvirus]

Hi everyone. New to this forum - going to start my Neurology Residency in July (farewell internship!!). Wanted to start thinking about fellowships in Neurology, and wanted to get some info. Know a good amount about the science side, but I am curious about the lifestyle and income side of these fields. Specifically, I have interest in Headache, EMG, Pain, and Neuro-optho. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I am also interested in finding out more about fellowships. I cannot wait to leave behind IM internship. Also, does anyone know if you have to read all of Adams and Victor's or Merritt's before you start your neurology residency or just go in and assume that they think you know nothing (just like internship for IM).

I'm hopin they expect us to know little/nothing. There is no way I'm going to read a text between now and then, still have call to deal with and moving. i can't wait to get this IM stuff over with.

Aybody know anything about the lifestyle and pay for either of these following residency and fellowship? Anyone care to compare and contrast the 2?
I was speaking to a anesthesiologist pain doc and he basically told me to stick to stroke and EMG's.......

Any input would be highly appreciated

Seems that there are many of us qith questions, but not too many answers forthcoming!

These topics have been discussed many times (which is probably why no one is answering you). Try doing a few searches in both the neuro and pm&r forums.

Plus, this forum doesn't focus on life post-fellowship. We can speak with authority about medical school and residency, but nobody really feels comfortable pontificating about life as a practicing neurologist, because that is in the future for most of us. All we could report is what we have seen, and this is not reliable.

Amen. The variability of answers to questions like this, both here and on other forums, clearly demonstrates this. Students (myself included) and most residents know little-to-nothing about systems of reimbursment, and even less about future changes within a given field.

If you really want to be amused, peruse the "pre-med" list for like discussions.

And don't forget that Mother's Day is this Sunday.

Hope this helps. Pain medicine is an accredited subspecialty of Neurology, Anesthesiology and a few other primary specialties. The pain specialists obviously make more than the generalists as they have many procedures to bill for. The payscale varies widely - personally know quite a few neuro pain guys who routinely take home more than half a million.
