Soooo...just wondering I am an MS1 and considering derm.
Honestly what is appealing is the lifestyle. Lifestyle is a huge determining factor in addition to happiness. How do you know if you like it?
For example, I like cardiology but I am not sure that i will like it waking up on call at 3AM a few nights a week during residency...how do you know that you will happy with dermatology? I mean in school i see disturbing pictures of skin abnormalities..and that does not sound appealing...does that appeal you guys? or is it something else. What I like about derm is that you get to talk to patients, figure out problems, and have a nice lifestyle and room to do other things in life and be with kids and family. I believe that will make me happy more than my work (I Hope lol). So how do you know derm is the field for you?
