Is IM more limiting than FM if you are not looking to subspecialize

[PotGoblinsales10]

Lets say you want to be a generalist.

As an IM you can do adult primary care or adult hospitalist

As FM: you can do adult and pediatric primary care, adult and pediatric hospitalist, urgent care, some ER.

I do think I am oversimplifying things, but let me know the best path for someone who is a generalist.

Also, as a hospitalist: does FM know the amount and extent of medicine IM knows? As an example: Emergency Medicine wouldnt go into the details of IM.
