I just completed sub-i's in both internal medicine and pediatrics and am really struggling to make the decision between peds and med/peds. I really love taking care of teenagers and young adults and am intrigued by the med/peds "niche" of treating teens with chronic medical conditions as they transition into adulthood. However, from talking to med/peds residents at my hospital, it seems that most of them end up picking one or the other post-residency, unless they go into primary care (which I am less interested in) and the kind of "niche" I am looking for is much more difficult to find in practice. I know that I would be happy doing categorical peds as well (and could specialize in adolescent med from there anyway if I wish) but would love to hear from others whether they think someone in my situation would benefit from doing med/peds instead!
