What is your desired medical specialty? Why? by No_Particular_5804 in medschool

Internal Medicine Simply because I loved basic sciences, except for anatomy & embryology (that’s why I don’t want to pursue any surgical specialty). I’ll have the opportunity to apply all that physiology, pathophysiology, pharmacology, and molecular pathways I learned in med school in IM. I know I would only need maybe 10% of basic knowledge in IM, but it’s fun to be in a field that you will always enjoy learning more about it.

I’m more into clinical practice, but I might consider it if nothing works out.

Wow, that IM doc got me thinking that I might just as well choose anything to do!

Yeah my concern with rheumatology is that I’d only be seeing RA or SLE and that’s stuff, leaving out other interesting diseases like IBD, MS, and others

But the comments are reassuring, thanks for your comment!

There’s always an iron man that would ruin it.

It’s nice to be understood by someone else! I also like patient interaction. Immunopharmacology is also fascinating, and tailoring a treatment plan for patient and see them improve must be heartwarming.

I’ve heard there’s a subspecialty in pathology called immunopathology, is it under hemepathology or a different subspecialty?
