Happy new year everyone
I am a Psych Intern
Mid way through Residency
I thoroughly enjoyed my 2 months of Neurology
And have thought long and hard and this in the last few months
I think doing Neurology is what I really want
I talked to a few Neurology attendings and senior residents and they all encouraged me
I even emailed the Neurology Program Director who was one of my attendings and mentioned my intentions
He initial reply was encouraging and he said I performed very well on my rotation
But I still have not been able to meet with him as he promised
So I really want advice from you guys
I know our intern year doesn't count
A medicine one is what is required?
So what's the best way to go about this?
I know a psych intern who switched at my program 4-5 years ago but there was an opening and she switched to Neurology PGY 2 but had to do 4 more months of medicine - so she started as a G2 4 months behind
So for the long post!
Appreciate any replies
