My short list: Orthopedic, Optho, Derm, ENT, Rad , Rad Onc, Urology, EM, Neurosurgery, Anesthesiology, OBGyn, IM subspecialties, PR&R, FP, Psych, Ped....List is not in any particular order.

FEEL FREE TO CRICIZE AND REVISE. THANKS
 
Ben, I would say without hesitation that the 2 hardest matches in 2006 will be derm and integrated plastics.
 
Orthodontics, hands down.
They make the easiest coin of any specialty, easy hours, lots of 'midlevels' boosting their income, malpractice nearly zilch, and paying patients. Naturally, this makes it harder to crack than any med specialty, even derm and plastics. And would take only 5-6 yrs!

I highly doubt orthodontics is harder to get into than integrated plastics.
