Most students think, if you get low board scores, you choose Family Medicine.
IF you can't get into Internal Medicine/Peds/Psych/Neurology , you go to Family Medicine.
if you have the least chance of getting matched.. you got Family Medicine
Anyway...
Our program director showed as the NRMP match stats a few days ago..
THIS:

And i was surprised how fewer slots Family Medicine has compared to Internal Medicine. ( i know FM has fewer slots BUT not as much as this)
and here in California, it's mostly US seniors and graduates who got these position.
Alaska has 7 slots and taken by 7 US seniors.. but that's Alaska, maybe they're ALL locals.
I'm originally from the East Coast, and our school has a primary care track reputation.
That's why most of us went with IM/pediatrics/FM/General Surgery/ OB-GYN and Psychiatry.
anyway, looking at NY where there's 199 slots for FM vs 1507 for IM.
what are your thoughts?
