I'm finishing up 4th year of medical school and I am strongly considering CAP given my previous experience and rotations.
The program I am most likely to get into has a fast track program, which means I would be done after 5 years. I really feel like I would benefit from the extra training, but I do not see myself only seeing CAP, but I would also like to see adults.
Ultimately, it seems that completing a CAP fellowship has it perks when it comes to jobs, and from what I have read, some CAP jobs are in higher demand. I understand the salary is basically the same per hour after time spent talking with the family. However, if I will be practicing for decades, it seems that 1 extra year isn't really anything in the grand scheme of things. Given the midlevel creep, I feel that specializing further would also be a little helpful.
Maybe I am incredibly naïve and have no clue what I am talking about but I would appreciate any feedback.
Thank you.
