What Speciality are you Interested in?

[DoctaJay]

I was just wondering what specialty folks here are leaning towards? Of course this could definitely change over the course of time but its nice to see. I'm interested in General Surgery. If I have time, and if it will help on the mission field (probably not) I might want to do a fellowship in MIS.

I always loved working with my hands and also loved skeletons and muscle attachments even at a young age. By no means am I saying that I probably won't change my mind a thousand times while going throught rotations but right now, Ortho is where its at.

Neonatology ... I have love for the little ones...

MIS is Minimally Invavsive Surgery

Flor the longest time I have been interested in pediatrics, now all of a sudden I think I might want to do psych... maybe I'll combine the two interests somehow

Check out FREIDA (Fellowship and Residency Interactive Database). It is entirely possible to do what you are thinking about doing.

 

[youngnflyy]

[FlacoFlo]

Anesthesia all the way baby!!!! I am happy to see we finally have a subsection for Latinos and African-americans on SDN!!! Up until now many of us have had to scrape and scrap our way through medical school with little to no mentoring. We def need to set up more networking to increase the numbers of underrepresented physicians in the US. Anyone interested in medicine or anesthesiology espescially, feel free to PM me!!

-Flaco

 

[FlacoFlo]

Nice to see more people interested in Anesthesiology, Cuban Doc!! what med school are u at???

-As my friend said it best...."I sit on my @$% and collect vitals!!" (much more to it than that but its a great depiction)

 

[UVABranch]

I would LOVE to do ortho and be the team physician for the Eagles...but, with plastics I can make enough money to pay for my BA, MPH, BA (or psot bac), and MD and still do some "probono" work, like helping kids who can't afford care. I'm also considering EM or ped hem/onc.

WisePrincess, you should PM OldBearProfessor and ask to join his Neonatology forum, especially if you might want to work in an academic setting. He's an academic neonatologist and really supportive of students.

Flaco, are you going into private practice or academia?

 

[foreveryoung90]

Ob/gyn or Psychiatry also somewhat considering Neonatology
