I have looked up and seen that competitiveness for entry into a gas residency as a U.S. M.D. isn't all that tough. Why is that? What do you think are some of the cons of gas? It seems like there are many things about it which would make it that much more attractive that it would be one of the more competitive fields.
Is it that people don't like the responsibility? Every field of medicine has great responsibility.
Is it that you're staring at monitors most of the time and people think it might be boring? Well, as an internist you're looking at charts/lab printouts all day as well as interviewing/examining pts.
I was told that if you like phys and pharm (my favorites from the preclinical years), this might be something worth looking into. Hence, I'm asking these q's. Sorry if they've already been answered elsewhere.
Thanks!
