Am I correct in assuming that if I wanted to specialize within peds (eg, neonatology) or OBGYN (high-risk OB/ maternal-fetal medicine) that I would first do a general residency in peds or OB, and then do a fellowship in the particular specialty? I'm not too familiar with this process. Is a fellowship a step up from resident? Is the salary still crappy and work hours as tough as residency? I ask because I'd like to have a family SOMEDAY and was wondering what the specializing process was like.
