I know this isn't a purely PM&R question, but I was unsure of where else to put this. I'm beginning my 3rd year of med school, and one of the things that attracts me to PM&R (along with the actual day-to-day activity) is that it is 1 year of Internal Med before going into Rehab. I was wondering what other specialties are like this. I have heard Optho is like this, but I wasn't sure where to find this out. Does anyone know where I could find this type of information (or could you just tell me)?

Why does this "attract" you? To me it's a downside. 😴

you can do a year of prelim medicine, transitional year, or even a year of surgery, peds, or family medicine as long as it fulfills the ACGME requirements for intern year.

other residencies that you do a year of internship are: Opthalmology, dermatology, anesthesiology, radiology, some psychiatry, some pathology, and neurology.

like drusso said, not sure what the attraction is to doing a year of int med but hope this info helps you.

I just completed a 2 month inpatient rotation at our school which is the day-to-day life of a resident: seeing patients in the morning, progress notes, rounding, and taking call or clinic in the afternoon. I realize that residency isn't all peaches and cream, but if I had to do that for 3 years...ugh. 1 year and then jumping into the actual specialty that I will be doing the rest of my life appeals to me more.
