I know that most people go into med school with a lot of confidence that they know what specialty they want to end up practicing. I've also seen a lot of statistics that show how many people regret their specialty choices, and this worries me. I've done quite a bit of volunteering in children's hospitals, and I'm very confident that I want to eventually subspecialize in peds (I won't pretend to know exactly what subspecialty). I'm concerned, however, that this may change at some point for reasons that I can't see right now, and that's actually a pretty terrifying concept. I'm wondering how many of you ended up specializing in what you thought you'd specialize in when entering med school, and how many of you were turned off to the specialty during rotations? I'd specifically like input from those who were interested in pediatrics before med school; did you stay interested in that specialty/subspecialty, or did the passion fade? Input from anyone is greatly appreciated though!
