General Medicine vs. Specialty

Published

I think this is the hardest decision I've made yet, as I am about to graduate.

How do you choose? I feel like both have so much to offer and yet, I feel like I'll "mourn" the loss of the area I don't choose.

Any hindsight advice?

Can you do both? Part-time at each?

You'll never go wrong with general medicine - no matter which specialty you choose, you'll always have to reach back into your medical knowledge. Nothing is more useless than an OR or L and D nurse with no medical background. Can't handle any emergencies.
