Im in final year medico and finding it difficult to choose the right speciality for pg. Many options available like general medicine,surgery,pediatrics etc. can seniors please suggest what factors i should consider while deciding?
The most important thing is your interests. Think about which areas of medicine fascinate you the most, where you find patients most rewarding to treat. Do some research on the pros and cons of the different specialties.
Don’t just consider lifestyle, consider your personality as well. More laid back specialties may suit some people better. Things like work hours, patient load, level of stress are also important factors.
Go for a speciality which has good scope for higher studies and research if that interests you. Some specialties offer more opportunities for academic medicine.
Speak to seniors and residents in different departments. Get a feel for the actual day to day work to see if it aligns with your preferences. Consider job prospects and demand as well.
