I have just begun my intern year in IM after taking a couple of years after medical school to work as an hospital administrator (MD/MBA). Anesthesiology has always interested me. However, due to the time taken off between graduating from medical school and getting back into clinical medicine, I felt completing an IM residency would strengthen/broaden my medical knowledge as well as make me a more competitive applicant for an Anesthesiology position. I am looking to complete my IM residency and get boarded then pursue a residency in Anesthesiology with an interest in Pain Management.
Can anyone provide any input as to what road block (if any) I would encounter going down this path? Are there any restrictions to doing a second residency after you have already completed one? I'm not looking to switch out because nothing beats a fundamental understanding of medicine that can be gained in IM. Just want to know what I have to look forward to down this path?
Any input/advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
