Is it normal to have cold feet about one's chosen specialty? It just seems like I won't truly know if the field I chose will be a good fit until I'm at least a few months into residency. I've done 2 months of elective in the specialty and a decent amount of research and really did enjoy it all..but now that my eras application has been submitted, I find myself wondering, what if there's another specialty out there I'd enjoy more? What if my exposure wasn't a real representation of the field? I am a relatively competitive applicant who applied to a non-competitive specialty and as dumb as this sounds, I feel like this plays a role in how I am feeling.
