I heard a lot of people saying that residency is intense, requires A LOT of time/ work per day, etc... I can imagine residency being stressful for specialties such as emergency medicine, critical care, surgeons, etc. But what about for specialties such as family medicine, psychiatry, and dermatology? Those don't seem nearly as stressful as the specialties listed above...
And I heard it's easier to get a residency position in primary care (family medicine's what im interested in). What does that actually mean? Does it mean I can do not as well as my peers in med school and still claim a spot in primary care?
