I'm a MS4 currently applying in anesthesiology. If I had to guess today, I suspect I'm going to be interested in a cardiac fellowship, but that's very malleable depending on what happens over the next few years. By this point I've obviously already done the electives needed to figure out if I want to do anesthesiology and get letters for applications.
I'm currently planning my schedule for the last few blocks of medical school, and the prelim programs I've interviewed at have made sure to emphasize the amount of elective time they provide. I'm largely following the advice I've heard to take things easy with this flexible time... but at the same time, I don't want to miss doing something potentially useful during my last chances to do electives basically anywhere in a hospital.
For those with some experience in anesthesiology: are there any electives you did as a MS4 or resident that now stand out as useful? Anything you didn't do but wish you did?
