Hello Everyone !
I am a 4th yr med student who is interested in a residency in "primary care". After doing my 3rd year clerkships I moved from a view that I was definatley going to do FM to wondering if IM Primary Care is more for me. I am interested in Boston residency programs and plan to practice on the North Shore. Now I am not sure whether FM or IM Primary Care is the right choice for me. I am wondering if anyone else struggled with this or a similar uncertainty. Does anyone have any thoughts on IM vs FM in terms of residencies or private practice? Also...has anyone else applied to two or more types of residencies and if so, how did that work out (I am thinking of applying to both FM and IM residencies in the area and making a decision after the interviews). I have spent far too much time stressing about this so any ideas would really help me! Thanks :wink: , Makimo
