Seems like everyone I know who has been accepted this cycle has a specialty in mind. When people ask me, however, I always feel stupid with my response: "I'm not sure." I've shadowed a multitude of MD's in a variety of fields, but nothing specific has truly clicked.
I understand that it's quite possible that I will find my passion during rotations as an M3, but would it be highly advantageous to try and focus on one specialty as early as M1 year (particularly when it comes to research in that field), especially if I want to go into something as competitive as derm/ortho/plastics/gen surg/ophtho?
