Hello everyone! I’m a second year FM resident.
My main interests include, OB, peds, Derm, inpatient medicine, and possibly some EM. My ideal job would be inpatient medicine and inpatient OB coverage but I realize in order to do OB as a FM doc I’ll have to do some clinic too, though I don’t think I could tolerate more than 50% clinic. Does this seem realistic?
I’m guessing the jobs that match my above description will be in rural areas. I’m worried that working in a rural area will make it hard to keep numbers up for vaginal deliveries and repairs, c-sections, d&cs, colposcopies, etc. Is that true or do people find they’re able to maintain skills just fine working in rural areas?
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Btw—planning to do an OB fellowship after residency so any recommendations for programs would also be appreciated. Again, definitely want to do some inpatient medicine in my future as well not just clinic.
