What specialities are the least stressful and allow you to put in the least amount of hours? How many hours would these be? Are these normally the hardest residencies to get into?

What are some jobs that you can do after going through med school besides seeing patients? Do these jobs require residencies?

an interesting scale of sorts (3-10). as he goes against the grain and abandons the conventional 1-10 scaling system used in most developed countries. i'm wondering what would fall in the 2.0 and 1.0 category? any suggestions? i'm sure Head Murse would have to be on the list somewhere....

ps. go into PMR, anesthesia, pysch, derm if you want a good lifestyle. i personally can think of a few less than motivated med students who matched into said specialties...

:eek: Whats less than motivated Kluver? pffft :p

Go into a specialty that lets you set your hours if you want a good lifestyle, the above are ok for allowing self scheduling. Just remember, if you hate the specialty, you'll feel like even a 3 hour day is 15 hours long ;)
