Hey Everyone. I am just about to start my 4th year and I am all over the place with trying to decide what to go into. For about the last year I have been convinced that I am going into one of the surgical sub-specialties. However, I am not nearly competitive enough and I have discovered that there are many things involved in the specialty that I do not want. Ultimatley I have decided to persue internal med. I love the variety and ability to use all of your medical knowledge. However, I LOVE operating. I guess my question is, if I start in one residency (say IM) and discover that I made the wrong decision, is it unheard of or very difficult to change specialties?
