You are absolutely all over the map.
The two specialties you mention are very different in terms of patient population, lifestyle, and training.
Large animal vet? I have no idea, but going to vet school isn’t like getting your real estate license.
Figure out if you want to be a doctor at all, shadow some in various fields, and worry about getting accepted to medical school. Specialty is a long way off and there are many factors that come into play when selecting one.

No.is this even possible?
If you complete a Family Medicine residency, you will be trained in gynecology (3-4years). You can then spend a year getting a certificate in Sports Med, and qualify to practice in non-surgical orthopedics.Hello! I'm new here so forgive me if this post isn't in the right place, but I have a question or two.
So, I know I'm probably an oddball but I want to do orthopedics (sports medicine) and also gynecology (just gynecology. Not obstetrics, although I know in residency I'd have to do obstetrics as well). Is this even possible/realistic? I also wanted to at some point become a large animal veterinarian since I could keep doing that after retirement, and it'd be very fun. (More like a hobby than a career you could say). I know that would likely result in a mountain of loans to pay off though, and is this even possible?

Sorry I can't work large-animal vet med into this plan, but the pediatrics you'd learn in Family Med might be considered a close second.

For those already in the process, it sounds as silly as saying you want to be an Astronaut and a Supreme Court Justice, and then retire as a professional Bull Rider.
1) Very common, especially after the first few years of practice when FPs discover their delivery volume isn't high enough to pay the large markup in malpractice insurance rates for doing deliveries.1) How common is it for FPs to do non-operative gyn with no obstetrics?

2) (BTW, I LOL'd at the pediatrics comment. I've been chasing my 19-month-old around all day.)
I once had a patient who got stoned, went car-surfing, and ended up with her femur in her vagina (yes, really). So I can see how a gynecologic orthopedist might be useful in certain situations...What is the point in doing both residencies, how can you integrate them in your practice? Only look at female patients in sport injury specific to reproductive health??? there is no point in doing two residency if you're not going to use them in your practice. just get into med school first, you sound confused
This reminds me of the movie idiocracy.I once had a patient who got stoned, went car-surfing, and ended up with her femur in her vagina (yes, really). So I can see how a gynecologic orthopedist might be useful in certain situations...
I know many patients who could use a neurologic proctologistI once had a patient who got stoned, went car-surfing, and ended up with her femur in her vagina (yes, really). So I can see how a gynecologic orthopedist might be useful in certain situations...
My wife and I both LOL'd at that one. Well played!I know many patients who could use a neurologic proctologist
