Is Changing Specialties Hard?

Hello, 

Originally I was interested in Labor and Deliver, however, I've only been offered hem/onc at City of Hope and postpartum at Cedars-Sinai. COH pays more but I'm unsure how difficult it would be to eventually transfer to L&D from hem/onc. Also, COH is a 20 min commute and Cedars is 45 mins. Please share your opinions on which I should go with.

Thank you.

    Changing specialities overall can be challenging in itself, but I believe if there is a strong structure to the program then it will all work out. COH and Cedars are both really good hospitals. I switched specialities from hem/onc to nicu and although it was a lot of individualized learning in itself, but I don't regret my change in speciality. If the end goal is L&D, I would go with cedars instead of doing hem/onc and chasing the money (and better commute). Cedars favors their employees more - meaning that it will be easier for you to switch over to L&D; especially if you have PD experience. Hope you find your calling and that it all works out for you ?
