Im a R3 about to take my core exam shortly. An opportunity has come up... I've been offered a dual certification in nuclear medicine through the ABR. I liked nuclear medicine on my rotations, but it is not my life's passion or anything and I plan to do a traditional fellowship as well. I enjoyed it enough though and think it is a unique skill set. Maybe it would be marketable too? idk can't really go wrong with having more qualifications.
The down side is it'd be 8 months of rotations my next year leaving me with two night float months and 3 electives of my choosing. I am concerned that I won't be able to hone in my skills prior to fellowship and I'll just be spending all my time on nuclear medicine and that it'll detract from my diagnostic radiology knowledge base.
Was wondering if anybody had any experience with this or if they think it is a good idea. I can ask my family members for advice, but they don't really understand the nitty gritty.
