Call me crazy but am seriously debating switching into OB/GYN even though already in a lifestyle-friendly residency at great institution and already did an internal medicine prelim. Am bored with this specialty and miss working in something I find interesting: OB/GYN. Imagine that! But as an MSIV I decided to give myself a chance to be in a 9-5pm specialty hoping I would grow to like it. Didn't happen.
Would appreciate feedback from OB/GYN residents or attendings or people who have or are planning to do a similar switch. Am I crazy? How do you know if you're cut out for surgery? (watching is different from doing) I know I like L&D. As a PGY-3, do I apply for OB/GYN outside the match to a PGY1 position but with hopes of getting some credit for the Internal Medicine months I've done?
Hope this makes sense. Feel free to PM me with specific feedback and also if there are openings at your program!
Thanks.
