Current derm resident at a great program. I'm in a very competitive major metro area.
I really enjoy skin surgery, especially reconstructions, but not to the level of "can't imagine doing anything but Mohs". In fact, my dream practice would be like 2-3 days of Mohs, and 1-2 days of general derm with cosmetics mixed in - I really crave variety. My nightmare scenario would be doing FBSE day after day.
Do you think I should pursue, or is it really a waste of an attending year's salary given my geographic location (want to be here in long run and start a private practice, regardless of how hard) and lack of desire to do it 4+ days a week?
