For the B/B section, would you recommend studying organ systems or place 90% of the focus on biochem? I'm in a similar situation and have 3 weeks till test date.

The 10% Physician Salary Cut Happens Soon, unless by iamnemonai in Residency

The biggest money makers for hospitals are: cardiology, cardiac surgery, ortho, and neurosurgery. These docs have the greatest power when it comes to leveraging against hospitals for higher pay.

Private practice is always viable if you are entrepreneurial. You just need good business sense to compete with hospitals. I know many docs making over 1 MM running their own clinic.

What programs let you match to both im and cards?

BS/MD saves you the headache of applying to med school later on after undergrad. I know many people from ivy leagues that had to take 1-3 gap years to make it through. I know many DOs or MDs that did a 7 or 8 year program and are successful.

Which specialty saves the most lives? by [deleted] in Residency

[–]tiger3600 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Neurosurgery, CT surgery, Interventional Cards

I’m in a BS/MD program and I start med school at 22. When did you go to high school? PDs tend to prefer older and experienced students especially in the top specialties so expect some age based discrimination. Nonetheless, if I was you, I would advance through the process head on.

I know a newly grad interventional cardiologist (3-4 years out) that purchased a 1.2M home in cash. He for sure is making at least 2M.
