I am very interested in preventive medicine, but I feel like I have a hard time getting a straight answer on the question of how much and what type of clinical work can be done if you are board certified in preventive medicine with only an intern year in internal medicine.  So I am hoping if I describe what I want to do someone will give me an answer as to whether I can meet my goal with a PM residency.  My main interest is in mind body medicine and stress and how it factor's into illness.  I want to do research in psychological stress and psychology and how they factor into disease prevention and disease outcomes.  I also do hypnosis ( I was trained by the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis) and I want to see patients not to practice internal medicine but rather as part of a mind body clinic.  I think there is a huge need out there for medically trained doctors who help their patients explore the relationship between health, psychology, neuroscience and behavior.   I would like the focus of my career to be research in disease prevention through the lens of stress, psychology and mind body relationships (say 75% of my time) and also spend the rest of my time seeing patients in a mind/body alternative way.  Can this be done with the right PM residency?
