This question is interesting.
00:03
It tells us about a doctor, dr.
00:06
Singh, who has just completed her phd program.
00:09
So that's our first piece of information here.
00:12
She has completed her phd program.
00:17
That's why she's now dr.
00:19
Singh.
00:20
So she's already a doctor and is now applying for a year -long program.
00:26
So we know it's just one year -long program at a nationally recognized hospital.
00:33
So it's a year -long program, and it's going to be at a hospital.
00:37
That's just the information we're given in the problem so far.
00:41
And it tells us that if she is accepted, so we definitely know she's doing an application and she has to be accepted, she will greatly advance her knowledge of behavioral neuroscience.
00:52
So her knowledge of behavioral neuroscience.
00:56
We're asked to analyze what type of program she might be applying for.
01:02
And not only that, we're asked to fill in the blank.
01:05
So let's make sure we're really precise about what blank we're filling in here.
01:09
She says she is, quote, applying for a or an blank training program, and we're asked which word fits best into this blank.
01:23
So the options that we're given are a postdoctoral training program, a fellowship training program, a nursing training program, a medical training or a psychiatric training program.
01:38
Now, i'm going to be honest.
01:39
We've been given very sparse information here, so we're going to be doing a little bit of guesswork.
01:44
Here's my first guess for you.
01:46
Nursing programs or medical programs are very specific, you know, working to become a doctor or become a nurse.
01:52
Because it's only a one -year program and it's about behavioral neuroscience, which doesn't sound like something where you're doing medical work, i doubt very much it's either a nursing program or a medical program per se.
02:05
Same for a psychiatric program.
02:07
Behavioral neuroscience is a little bit more closely related to psychiatric work than it is related to nursing or medical doctors, but it's still a little bit far from a clinical program where you might be working with psychiatric patients.
02:21
This sounds like a primarily academic program, like we're doing academic research and developing understanding.
02:28
And that means that it sounds like something that could be either a postdoc or a fellowship.
02:33
A postdoc is a research position that you take after you finish your doctoral degree.
02:39
That's why it's called postdoctoral, is that it's a research position primarily.
02:42
It's usually at an academic institution, although it could be at a hospital, as long as the hospital is associated with an academic institution.
02:52
On the other hand, a fellowship, this is pretty closely associated with postdocs...
