SDNers,
Got a whole lot of good advice on my last thread and I'm hoping this one goes over just as well. I've seen and been interested in General Surgery for years. Lately, I've been beginning to think of more primary care roles (IM and FM with particular focus). I've seen a lot of different threads on here about DO bias and how it limits your options, but I've also seen a lot of contradictory information. Since the Merger took place earlier this year wouldn't that bias dissipate a bit? To be clear my question is: Does going DO limit yourself and disable you from going into specialties such as pulmonology, nephrology, general surgery, and ENT. These new three mentioned are ones I've considered for different reasons but am still unsure. I've seen older posts about some of these but nothing really recent (after the merger), but if I'm at fault please let me know (providing a link would be helpful) and I'll gladly remove this post.
