I'm having a quarter-life crisis trying to figure out what to specialize in. I have to turn in my elective choices for the end of 3rd year/4th year and that means I need a pretty solid idea of what I want to do for the rest of my life. Yikes! Only 11 months before I have to make my final decision--I didn't think it would come so fast. I feel like I pretty much enjoy everything in medicine (except maybe psychiatry) and so now more than ever I have no idea what I want to go into. I've put up a poll for everyone to put in their two-sense. I won't tell which way I'm leaning until after it closes.
For those not familiar with internal medicine, because I have a lot of people asking me what that is exactly, that includes the following: cardiology, nephrology, infectious disease, pulmonology, gastroenterology, rheumatology, endocrinology, allergy/immunology, and hematology/oncology. So basically everything between the neck and the hips.
To be continued...
