hey so im about to start MS2 and i figured this summer was as good as any to start figuring out which specialty i like.. as of now, i dont really have any idea, but i had two questions..
1) i heard the best way to figure out what field of medicine you really enjoy is to make a list of all the specialties available and just start crossing off the ones you know you dont want to do, or the ones that dont interest you. is there anywhere i can find a comprehensive list like this?
2) how many days do you really need to shadow a physician before you kinda get a feel to how a given field of medicine is like in practice? i was gonna shadow a cardiologist for a week this summer, but my roommate was saying i should go for longer.
any info would be helpful
