hey guys im a current MS-III at a US school and have no idea how to decide what field to pursue. I can see myself doing almost any field of medicine, but I have been able to narrow my interests down to a couple. These include:
Anesthesiology, Orthopedics, Interventional Radiology, Urology
My fathers an Anesthesiologist and a partner at a really good group, and enjoys his work
I enjoy the practicality of an Orthopedist, and the fact that the patient population is often healthy.
Radiology seems a good choice in that I would have the option to be an interventional radiologist while young and do diagnostic radiology if I get jaded and tired of patients or procedures
Urology for the reason that it is a surgical specialty with a relatively good lifestyle
I just got back Step 1 scores and the result was a 265/99. I want to go to a good program for whatever field i end up choosing. Does this mean that I should stick with something less comp like Anesth, over something like Radiology or ortho?? And how do i even begin to decide which to pursue?
