So, I really, really loved pedi, but I just think psych is a better fit. First I enjoyed my psych rotation, then my assessment and plans became mostly about psych, then I met my surgery rotation with complete disdain for the lack of interest in the patients, and finally my teams started getting "me" consults for all the psych issues. I realized the reason I didn't want to do psych was because I was feeling guilty that it seemed more like fun than work. My next thought was, "hey, that's good!" so I'm officially a psychiatrist in the making! .....now what? I'm not really sure what I should be doing as a third year finishing cores to tailor my education to psych. Research? Electives? Interest groups? Step scores? How did you guys swing it once you decided psych?
