i am a 4th year who should be working on my ERAS stuff right now, only im not sure what i want to do. i either want to do pediatrics or psychiatry. i cannot decide. i love both. it has been suggested to me that if im not sure, i should just do an internship and apply for residency next year... but i still think that in a year im not going to be able to decide. i think i will always love both pediatrics and psych (i'd do a child fellowship). i feel like if i do an internship and wait a year, im just delaying the inevitable and causing myself more stress during an already stressful internship. however, i know that as of now, im not comfortable making a decision ... im feeling really stuck. its so frustrating because all of my friends know exactly what they want. is anyone, or has anyone, been in this position? is it worth it to delay the decision, or should i just make a decision and go with it in blind faith, since im pretty sure thats what i'd be doing in a year anyway? any thoughts or opinions would be appreciated ... i feel like im giving myself some serious ulcers over this
(oh and i already know about the combined peds/psych programs- there's only one on the east coast, and its mt sinai, and i'd never get it, plus its research based which im not all that into ... although i may apply there anyway just for giggles.)
