As a future FMG I am considering things to make me more competitive for residency. Getting a phd is high on the list.
A phd in neuroscience would be nice, since I'm interested in neuro, but I am not entirely sure neurology or neurosurgery is what I will want to do in the end. I am guessing a phd in neuro would be a waste, competitively, if I decide to apply to something like ortho or gen surg?
Physiology covers everything, so... how is a phd in physiology looked upon when applying for neurology, neurosurgery, general surgery, or ortho?
At the moment, second year of med school, I am more interested in neuroscience, but my main goal with the phd is to, when the time comes, get the residency spot that I want. What would you have picked?
