OK, here are my stats, first of all, to get it outta the way:
Step 1- 244
Year 3- All HP's and 1 Honors so far (one rotation to go)
One summer of research (although it was derm)
I've set up to do rads research starting in may, if I want, that will likely end in a publication... not sure
Southern Cal Med School (literally)
Want to end up somewhere good for residency (so/nor cal... not sure yet, would consider good east coast program w/ connections to land me back in so cal after residency).
My problem is that although I am a hard worker, lifestyle and good pay are both VERY important to me, as is the idea of having a job that I like (this thread is for honesty, right). As of now, the most exposure to either field has been peripheral (rads- on the surg and med rotation and anesthesia- on the surg rotation).
So, for you anesthesiology residents/hopefuls, or anyone who had the same dilemna as me, help me out. What are some of the issues I should be looking at, that I may not be seeing. ANY advice or opinions are appreciated.
