    Job outlook (NICU vs PICU)

    I’ll be doing aways in both and I’m looking to match Peds with NICU or PICU fellowship as the end goal. I keep hearing different things about job outlooks for PICU and I’m not sure if I should be concerned since I’m leaning towards PICU as they’re more procedural than NICU from my understanding...

    NRMP waiver question

    Hi everyone. Unsure where to go or what to do, hoping someone can help in some way. The long story is that I’m pretty devastated by my Peds sub-specialty match result, to the point that I’m considering quitting pre-45 days, which I know would jeopardize the specialty for me pretty much...

    Which peds subspecialty has the least babies?

    Except adolescent medicine obviously, but are there organ systems in which the sx typically arise in kids/adolescents? I'd love to see mostly older kids and for the smallish ones <4yo to be the minority of my patient load.

    Pediatric Hospitals?

    Originally, I was really interested in Emergency Pediatric Medicine, but I have heard so many people basically say "the sky is falling" that it scared me off. (Along with really poor hours for circadian rhythm, and others equating it to 'retail work'. I am not stupid, I know doctors generally...

    FM to PEM

    Hi all. Is there a possible pathway from FM to pediatric EM (official or unofficial)?

    (DO student) IM/FM/Peds -- Should I take Step 2 with a mediocre Step 1?

    3rd year DO student considering IM, FM, or peds; COMLEX I 601, USMLE I 217 Honestly I have no idea if I should take USMLE II or not. My COMLEX "translates" to a much better USMLE score than what I got, so I figure if ACGME programs have taken DOs then I should only submit my COMLEX. If I submit...
