I'm a PGY-2 in Neuro, and have started to think about career path. I'm waffling between general neurology, and numerous other subspecialties.
My main question is what does one get out of doing, say, a stroke fellowship? I assume it would make me more 'marketable', but the program I'm thinking about is 2 years, so I'd lose out on approximately $200,000 being a resident. Plus, money isn't my primary motivation.
If I want to do research, do I need a fellowship to do it?
I know there have been past threads that have discussed varying aspects of this, and I've read them, but they're all either ridiculously outdated or tangential.
Thank you guys as always!
