<p>The major in neuroscience is a good idea. I don’t know how useful the psychology major would be. So after you complete your premedical requirements and apply to medical school and get in and go through three years of medical school, you would ideally choose to do one or more rotations in your fourth year of medical school in child neurology. Then, you have to match with a child neurology program. The child neurology program does not go through the conventional residency match but rather, the San Francisco matching program. More details can be found here: </p>

<p>Typically, people who enter the field go through 2 years of general pediatric training after medical school before they enter the child neurology program. However, since neurology is such a research-oriented field, they may allow you to replace one of those years with basic neuroscience training. Your neuroscience major would give you a good background for such training if you chose to go with a more research-oriented route.</p>
