What specialties have been historically competitive that are not so competitive anymore? What specialties that are competitive today used to be easy? Which residencies have always been competitive, in the past and in the present?
I’m very curious about trends in residency competitiveness.
Also as a second part to the question, do you foresee any specialty in the future becoming more competitive/lucrative?
Personally, I hold a slight but admittedly unsubstantiated suspicion of neurology becoming more difficult and lucrative in the future. This is because the demand will rise, it is on so few med students’ radars that interest is low, and because of the heavy growth in neurology research that will develop new technologies and paid procedures for neurologists in the future.
