Hey everyone,
I'm a lowly intern and am trying to figure out a subspecialty b/c i like to be the expert in a field....the problem is, I like everything i do but not enough to want to do it for the rest of my life (which is one of the reasons i did internal medicine and not O.B. or psych). I enjoyed my rheumatology and geriatric months as an M-4 and am enjoying my renal house month now. It seems like I may like that type of patient- an older pt with chronic disease or pain. The Type A personality in me likes cardiology a lot as well. I have no experience yet in G.I. or heme-onc. I've talked to a ton of people and I guess the only 2 specialties I can cross off (even though i liked doing them) are I.D. and Pulm/C.C. How can I narrow my choices?
Thanks for any input
