Has anyone seen the UVA Medical Specialty Test?

http://www.med-ed.virginia.edu/specialties/

It's like a personality test to see which medical specialty you fit in with. I know this is more for MD/DO than us, but I found it very interesting to take, since there are so many emerging specialties in VetMed. I just inserted "clients/animals" whenever they said "patients." My top 5 were

1. Pathology
2. Neurology
3. Nuclear Med
4. Radiology
5. Thoracic Surgery

I feel strangely validated :laugh: Although I HATE radiology....
 
1 physical med & rehabilitation
2 general surgery
3 radiology
4 orthopaedic surgery
5 obstetrics/gynecology

I would NEVER do radiology or OB/GYN, however, the rehabilitation and surgery (especially ortho) is right on.

And family practice and peds are way down on my list. Definitely true! and path is way down there too 😉

I just can't see myself doing aerospace vet med somehow..... surgery or preventative med I can see. Did anyone else keep getting the same questions over and over?
 
Yeah, I think they repeat questions to make sure you are answering somewhat consistently

But wait a sec, you want to be an avian pathologist, right PAThbrd? 😉
 
Eerrrggghh--for me, dermatology was #1!!! Are you KIDDING?? No freakin' way. However, I had like twelve that were all within two points of each other, so I don't think my results are even worth posting.

Anesthesiology wasn't even in my top ten, but neuro was...yay!

Fun tool. 🙂
 
gastroenterology 46
ophthalmology 42
pathology 42
plastic surgery 41
general surgery

So... We have a GI exam on Monday...boo... And if Histo is any indication of how Path will be -- I'm going to have to scratch both GE and Path off of this list. That leaves Ophtho (LOVE me some eyes) and surgery (LOVE me some surgery).
 
neurosurgery
general internal med
allergy and immunology
endocrinology
gastroenterology

I am indeed interested in both neurology and endocrinology, but not surgery. I could see being an internal med vet. But perpetually itchy, flatulent dogs...no thanks.
