What's your goal for yourself? Where do you see yourself? What do you expect to accomplish? How do you feel about having the bucks stops with you? Which role do you see yourself on the team? Do you want to make big decisions or do you want to make them to an extent but like the back-up when needed?
Putting all the, "Do pushes for PCP specialties etc" aside and just think about what YOU want. What kind of career do you pray for? Yes, certain field are harder to obtain as a DO but that doesn't mean you're out of the running automatically cause you're a DO.
You're jumping into worry about specialties etc when you're not sure what position on the team you want to play on. Until you know to the best of your ability what position you want to be in, then it makes no sense to decide between MD / DO or PA etc. My best friend will be 45 YO finishing general surgery.
This was amazing, thank you for sharing these thoughts!
