Hey I'm a ms3 debating what to do with my life between ortho and pm&r. I was wondering if anyone in this field or applying wouldn't mind discussing it a little bit with me. I've done a little research and read a lot of these threads but still had some questions for those in the thick of it and my school is lacking resources.

you really want to do surgeries? go ortho. No? consider pm&r.

Which do you like more: clinic/inpt or OR ?

Ortho is 60-90 hrs per week the rest of your life. PMR/Pain can do 40 hrs per week and make as much. Lifestyle. Ortho gets to cut and fix, PMR gets to pick up the pieces.

Ortho sucks and PM&R is awesome. Go PM&R. I may be a bit bias.

Do you LOVE the OR? If yes, do ortho.
If you like, but don't love surgery, then do PM&R.

Thanks for the replies. Point taken. I set up some shadowing this upcoming month.
Are there any sites or blogs that show which residency programs match into particular fellowship programs?
