love surgery, especially trauma, CT, transplant and ICU management. but having just finished my EM and IM sub-i rotations, and enjoyed both (especially the cardiac pts) I realized I don't have to do surgery. besides my back and knees already ache from working out so much. so being a Critical care physician or cardiologist wouldn't be all that bad. Thinking real hard about a career switch.
bottom line, love both EM and IM. I'm just wondering how competitive is it to get into a combined program? After doing a prelim surgery year would it be difficult to match into one?
Also the Freida website lists that only certain programs are accepting applications for 2008-2009 year. Does this mean that some programs with EM/IM don't enter the match every year?
If anyone could give me some advice, I would greatly appreciate it. PM or post a reply. thanks everyone!
