Is it all board score or do you need research?
I was always interested in psychiatry but I did well above the class average in neurology and find it comes naturally to me whereas many of my classmates struggled at it. And it just seems so interesting. I have very few things that come naturally to me, always had to work hard, so it peaked my interest.
So I don't want to take it off the table or realm of possibility in the future. Heck, I might even be interested a dual neuro/psych.
In order to not sabotage future me in case I do change my mind and decide neuro, is research necessary? Would undergrad neuro research be adequate or does it need to be in med school?
Would volunteer work with people suffering from neurological disorders be sufficient? I much prefer volunteering with people, I found testing lab animals to be boring. More of hands on person than a researcher.
