I am a 2nd year medical student, and this field is very new to me. I have a quick questions that I'm hoping someone can answer. If you are a occupational medicine resident, please let me know.
1. How does one get into occupational medicine? Is it considered a fellowship after IM or a residency itself? How long is the residency?
2. How competitive is the field? Would getting a MPH after 2nd year of medical school reduce the residency length, or help in getting in ?
3. What is the future job outlook? On salary.com it says the average doc in occupational medicine makes 200k, is this true?
4. What is the residency hours/workload like?
