Genuinely curious and also looking forward to what I imagine will be hilariously sarcastic answers.

You're probably looking for a very specific job that is essentially never encountered in med school. A type of job where calling yourself a doctor is a stretch at best. Something like mammogram radiology, medical examiner, travel clinic doc, etc

 

[doc05]

radiology.

 

[eteshoe]

dermatology - heard that's pretty easy to get into.

The handful of people I know who have genuinely disliked all core rotations ended up in radiation oncology. They're probably as happy there as they would be anywhere else.

Really competitive candidate: Derm

Moderately competitive: Rads

Not competitive: Psych

Really need more info. Certainly you liked and disliked certain things about each field, regardless of a general lack of being too enthused about any given field. You also have interests you could elaborate in that you think you didn't see in any field

Pathology?

radiology.

I agree with rads. Unless you hated anatomy OP, then I guess pathology.

Pm&R in 10 years... top 5 when it comes to competitiveness

#1 specialty for the disinterested is Anesthesia. In fact, you can apparently sleep on the job and still get paid.

Anyone have a relevant comic like the pm&r one for sleep medicine? 😛

Hospital administration, or teaching.

And thus, an ER doctor was born that day.

Short Residency, noncompetitive lower tier matching, work 3-4 days a week, see patients once and then never again unless frequent fliers, good pay for # of hours worked. Historically, it's always been ER that fell into this, now I guess people are saying gas, psych, rads since their competitiveness has decreased. Minus psych of course. Personally I wouldn't do Rads, 5 year residency + 1 year fellowship (probably be 2+ by the time you get there), attendings' can work till their 80.

There are 80 year old radiologists who never learned to read MRIs because it wasnt around yet when they started
