So i am a 4th year med student applying categorical medicine. I really have doubts about my career choice and always liked anesthesia. Going through the interview process, I keep thinking to myself....do I really want to do medicine? I chose medicine because there are so many options after you finish, but I think I like anesthesia more now (i just did a 1 week rotation in pain and saw some anesthesia there too, and really like the critical care part of medicine)? Is it too late to apply transitional or preliminary? Should I just get out of the match and try to scramble for a prelim/transitional and then try to get an anesthesia spot? Should I just match into medicine and then try to find a pgy-2 spot in anesthesia? At this point in the process what do you think the best plan of action would be?
PS. I did search this topic but it was mostly people who had already matched into medicien who wanted to do anesthesia. I would like to prevent that from happening in the first place unless thats the better way to do it!
