doctorme Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 How many electives in neuro are required to match successfully to the program/what electives are related to neuro? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burrb Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 If you're dead set on neuro and nothing but neuro, do as many electives as you can in it, in all the places you see yourself potentially going to. Other electives relevant to neuro would be peds neuro, psych, internal medicine, neurosurgery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctorme Posted June 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Thank you. I'm torn between neuro/internal or psyc but obviously need to split these electives towards my first choice once I figure that out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burrb Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 You can comfortably do electives in each and still have an excellent chance at matching. None of those specialties are particularly competitive unless you're dead set on Toronto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloh Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 Neurology country wide is not that competitive so you need to do enough electives to show interest and get your letters. 4 weeks of neurology and then the rest in internal would work. I'm not sure which way you are leaning but if you're 33/33/33% at the moment your best bet would be: 4 weeks neuro 2 weeks psych (and your other letters from core psych rotations) 2 weeks neuropsych Rest in internal It may leave you in a pickle with regards to internal as it IS getting competitive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
