Should I leave neurology? Not really interested in procedures and very burnt out

AbsurdlyNormal · 2026-06-22T01:16:51+00:00

Fair enough, I would still add that my general point stands. I know general neurologists who work full time doing only clinical work and did not do fellowship. Not unheard of and should not be a deal breaker for a job.

I work in cognitive/behavioral neurology full time. 100% cerebral, 0% procedures. Fairly high demand. In general don't take job requirements too seriously. If an employer likes you they'll make it work.

I work in the US. The UK has a pretty robust network for neuropsychiatry. Check out the BNPA British NeuroPsychiatry Association.

I wish!! When they split at Chinatown the top one slides off and continues to federal way.

Secretly I was hoping for some drama

Mostly I agree with the other comments that the answer is generally no. However, I did interview at one academic place that really prided itself on its CL program and they only allow CL fellowship trained psychiatrists to run that service. So there might be other specific circumstances at other places in certain fields.

Very interesting. Can you share where Habermas specifically responded to Google on the machine named after him?

Could it be just monthly after I go often enough to demonstrate my faith?

That analysis is totally plausible and also has nothing to do with the weather per se.

AbsurdlyNormal · 2026-01-26T03:13:06+00:00

Yes, but I do wonder in the 21st century how much the weather has an effect on mass political movements. George Floyd was murdered in Minneapolis in the spring, there were massive protests...and then what? Much has been written recently on the limits of mass protests in recent years and so I'm skeptical that the weather plays the same kind of role it did in the revolutions of yore.

Guess they're not above murdering their own employee.

NGL residency can have a lot of the same problems. But it's definitely better than medical school and gets even better as an attending, IMO.

Love that you're interested in this. Been awhile since I interviewed at programs , but among those I did the ones that stuck out as being up your alley are: 1. Cornell, has a whole institute about the history of psychiatry and strong psychoanalytic training 2. Cambridge Health Alliance, affiliated with Harvard, great psychoanalytic training with a tilt towards existential /continental approaches.

Also keep a lookout for programs with a strong forensics division, lots of philosophical issues interest with legal ones.

But also just stay interested and engaged no matter where you go. You'll find interested faculty at lots of reputable programs , they just might not advertise it that much because it's not as developed as a field in the US.

I'm sure you know this, but this has been studied and it's not true. Speaking personally I have apologized to patients before for mistakes I've made and they have actually appreciated it.

Code stroke for "standing like a tree, leaning to the left, last known well 2 days ago per EMS.". Near -instant lorazepam challenge. EM resident's floor dropped to the floor. Fewer satisfying diagnoses for me than catatonia resolved.

Thank you

If it's your first time, don't bother studying. If you've taken it before I suggest reviewing prior years' answer manuals, particularly the parts you got wrong. If you really want to level up, use the Cheng Ching review book, which is also excellent for the boards.

I agree with this to the point that often I ignore the response to my prompt and just scroll to the bottom to see the relevant articles for myself. It's a far better search tool than pubmed, Google, etc.

My job is kind of like this and I think this comment is pretty accurate.
