There are a number of threads in the general residency section, but I couldn't find one in here. Assuming residents and physicians also chime in here sometimes, I think it reasonable to make the thread in pre-med. ( this post goes for all physicians, regardless if MD or DO)
If you look at some of the residency forums such as gas and pain, there are big issues about mid-level providers such as Crna's or even DNP's for family and general ( yes I know there is a current thread in here now about DNP). My question encompasses all specialties.
I would like to know which specialties will be least affected by political movements and possibly Obamacare. Obviously, surgeons will be surgeons...but, a lot of specialties may be affected soon. Would you guys like to predict about the specialties that will be most attractive in 5-7 years? People who are about to be med students will have to think about this. So, begin ( BTW, there's no need to belittle nursing...everyone knows that a doc is more knowledgeable, so let's just focus on the OP)
