Hello all,
I am a PGY-2 neurology resident in the US (a non-US IMG) and intend to do a 2-yr epilepsy fellowship in Canada. However, in my understanding, in Canada, it's tough to come by subspecialist-specific jobs (except stroke), and the demand is for general neurologists.
My question is that if I do a 2 yr epilepsy fellowship post-residency, does it diminish my general neurology (including stroke) practice skills?
Now I know that a 1-yr- clinical neurophysiology fellowship is the most ideal for general neurology practice, however, Canada does not have these fellowships and for personal reasons, I intend to move to Canada after residency.
Also, if someone has a better insight into the Canadian health system in terms of neurology practice, I would appreciate their input as well!
