EM is my first choice.
IM is my backup. Out of the primary care fields, I like the scope of practice for IM the most. Also, there are just so many options for IM sub-specialties (to think about in the future).
Thought about surgery. I love anatomy, but I don't think I'd want to do that 24/7.
How tough is it to land a competetive IM specialty?
If you want to do cards, GI, onc, allergy, etc do you really need to be a top IM resident?
I think that I'd really like oncology or cardiology, but don't like the idea of possibly going 3 PGYs and then not getting a fellowship.
