I have a few uncertainties I am trying to clear up about making an educated choice of medical specialty and taking the right steps to match in that specialty.
Feel free to take a stab at any of these questions or share any other experiences.
When did you get a clear idea of the specialty you wanted to pursue?
Were you exposed to the field before your clinical years? (shadowing/research/etc?)
How do students typically expose themselves to different specialties during pre-clinical years? (mainly in a clinical sense to decide if this field is right for them)
If students wait until their clinical years to get an idea of what they want to do, how do they pick a field to research during pre-clinical years?
Thanks a lot!
