I am a first-year medical student trying to make informed decisions about which specialty I choose (as we all are). I am leaning heavily towards family medicine and know that I want to work in primary care in the future. I am trying to decide between family and internal medicine. Because I am very interested in providing at least basic women's health services, I am under the impression that this may be easier through family medicine. I would also like to have the option to provide basic abortion services in the first trimester. After doing some preliminary research online, it appears that abortion training is not necessarily part of all family medicine residency curricula. I also read this article and am wondering what the heck is going on....
Thoughts? Advice? I would love to hear from actual family medicine residents in a variety of states. I am attending school in the state of Georgia.
