PGY2 -- I'm seriously considering CNP right now. It looks like it hasn't been discussed in a little while.
My plans are to go out into the community, likely join a practice at first or do locums for a minute. EMG and EEG both seem like sort of fun ways to break up the monotony of pure clinic. There are some programs in my area that are 50/50 EMG/EEG.
I know people are saying CNP is sort of dying out in favor of choosing one or the other, but in the long term if I'm one of only a handful of neurologists serving rural areas, would one year be sufficient to know enough to be dangerous with both of these skills? At least for bread and butter, and to the degree where I could refer to an academic center if I felt out of my comfort zone?
Also, in your opinion, would it be worth the extra year? I.e. would it pay for itself? And for that matter how are reimbursements looking for these procedures?
