neurology residency after psychiatry? - shw

[ArchivalUser]

I could be wrong, but I believe neurology and psychiatry share the same boards, so if you complete a psych residency and pass boards, you will be certified in both psych and neuro. That said, it may be difficult to get a job as a neurologist with a psych residency.

but it might not be possible to do a fellowships after psychiatry residency which we could do after neuro residency. Is it possible?

Off course you can do fellowship after a psychiatry residency: addiction, child psychiatry ...

You can totally do a 1-2 year fellowship in Neuropsychiatry after doing a general adult psychiatry residency

You could do it after Neurology too. But having Psychiatry background is very helpful too.
