I am finishing my 3rd year in medical school and applying to residency programs is looming around the corner. I wasnt interested in psych until I completed my psych rotation and I loved it. Primarily, I loved the hours, the histories were always far from boring. However, before the psych rotation my heart was set on IM. Now I am completely torn especially due to what I am hearing about the discrepancies in salaries between IM and psych. Not that money is everything but I do want all this hard work to pay off and have a comfortable lifestyle. I also want to get married and have kids and actually be a mom. So, I need a career that will be conducive to those needs without me wallowing in debt from med school loans. Can someone help me with the realistic pros and cons of psych vs IM? more specifically in south florida?
