Hi GP,
Just had a quick question for you...
While rotating through surgery I've been asked as to my field of preference for residency. As soon as I have said Pathology, Ihave gotten various replies including: "Thats not a real doctor" and the usual non-sense. I've attributed most comments to their ego and somewhat ignorant nature. However the same re-occuring theme out of them is that there are no jobs for pathologists and the market isnearly saturated. So my question for you is:
What do you hear in your neck of the woods about the job market? Is there a trend that the attendings have noticed? Are the seniors having a hard time getting into a good practice?
Thanks for the help. I guess I could've just asked the question but I figured you've been removed from the surgery rotation a couple of years now and that you'd enjoy a flashback!
Regards,
