Hi folks,
I'm just finishing my first month of a combined AP/CP residency and am toying with the idea of switching to AP only. I don't really see myself doing much with CP long term - I think I will probably do a subspecialty surg path fellowship. The only thing I would still be considering in the CP realm is heme.
Has anybody switched after starting residency? Was that ok with your program? Also, what is the third year of AP only? It seems like either AP only or CP only should just be 2 years since doing both is 4.
If switching to AP only would really only save me a year, I will probably stick with both since that will leave me the opportunity to do heme and maybe get involved in research during CP months.
Thanks for any thoughts!
