Any once or future Triple Boarders out there? Thinking of applying in it this year, just wanted to see if there were any opinions...
If in your peds residency you fell in love with child psych there is now a pathway in which you do a 4yr child psych fellowship after peds training (and get boarded only in child psych vs. adult and child). Admittedly a longer time frame than the 5yr triple board, but more flexible in exploring the subspecialties of peds.
Anyone out there applied to triple board this year? I sent in my application for all 10 programs (fingers crossed), and then to 64 psych programs that have child psych fellowships too (in the hopes that I would get to do the whole go into the fellowship in my 4th year thing).
Anyway, I really want to do triple board and am really hoping I match (the numbers listed for last year were kind of scary). I have pretty good credentials (good step 1, ok grades in 1st 2 years, stellar grades and evaluations in 3rd year, involved in several positions in med school...lots of volunteering). I'm hoping it's enough. Just want to chat w/others who are applying to this and feeling similarly scared, intimated, hopeful.
Hi! I am a current TB intern (applied last year) and would be happy to help. internship is really busy, so may not have a lot of time or may be increased latency with replying but if you want I'm happy to message you with more info! Good luck in this difficult decision process!
3. I would love to stay in California for residency, but according to FREIDA there are currently no triple board programs in California. Someone told me some schools are willing to self tailor a triple board program for an interested individual, even though they may not yet have one, have any of you heard anything about this?
[/QUOTE]bump
1. How difficult, compared to straight psychiatry, are these triple board programs to get into?
2. Compared to straight psychiatry, how intense is the triple board residency program in terms of hours per week?
Thank you for any input you can share with me!
Hey, I'm also considering maybe a Triple Board, cause I'm very interested in this fields, but I have one question left. As a Triple Boarder, do you only work with children, or also with adolescents and young adults, like in a normal child/adolescent residency?, cause if not I'll continue sticking to this.
