Hello,
I am a MS3 at a US allopathic school. I am between cardiology and a surgical subspecialty for much of the third year. I enjoyed the cardio pathophysiology a lot and it is something i think i will miss if i go into another specialty. i have a step 1 in the 240s with decent third year grades. i was warned by an IM resident recently that if i decided to pursue cardiology, i should be prepared that there is a chance I won't match into fellowship and i should be mentally content with general IM practice if that were the case. I want to hear different opinions on this issue because if i were to go into IM then i only want cardio. I wouldn't be content with a general IM practice.
