I have to agree with Boomer on this one. OB/GYN is the only surgical specialty that is considered primary care (and there is a LOT of surgery involved when you stop to think about it). If you are in a *very* rural area, then an FP might do some minor surgical procedures. However, I've yet to live in an area so rural that this was necessary. (And I've lived in some very out-of-the way places).
Most FP's stopped doing more than the occasional removal of a mole years ago. And if you want to get down to the level of "procedures," then a pediatrician is often the one who does circumcisions in the hospital (depends on the town). Or you could consider emergency medicine--never know what you'll find there.
If you're looking for a speciality that is anything like IM and has some surgery involved, then OB/GYN is probably the thing for you. Just to give you some idea....my gyn has practically taken the role of my family dr since my FP died. She is the one who orders the standard blood tests to check my sugar, cholesterol, etc. The OB/GYN is definitely part of the management of high blood pressure and diabetes--the main person when the patient is pregnant. If you're *really* into the IM side of things, you could look into sub-specializing in reproductive endocrinology which would give you more IM with an occasional surgery.
Come to think of it, I'd say OB is probably closer to IM than any of the other primary care specialities. On top of that, you get to bring babies into the world on a daily basis and you still get to do plenty of surgery. It's that surgery thing that is holding me back from pursuring it for myself. I'd rather not have to go in through the belly to get a baby. LOL
Tex Pre-Med can certainly feel free to disagree.
But, like Boomer, I read the original question to mean the OP is looking for a primary care speciality and gave IM as an example of something he/she is interested in--not a starting point looking for a sub-speciality. And I'm also not assuming the OP is a "kid."
Now if you *are* looking more in the sub-speciality line...there are plenty of options--ENT, opthamology, as well as others mentioned.
