Re: MD specialiazation
1: I’m in EU
**
hmmm dont know specifics and/or scope of medical sub-specialties in EU so much.**
2: Part time would be ideal at the moment but I don’t mind working full time.
EM. I am in EM in USA. Here EM is a fully recognized and accredited sub-specialty. it isnt in many prts of the world. Allows for flexible work hours. Easy to work as little or as much as you want. Can be busy depending on where you work … so have some control over that too. You see pts from newborns to the v elderly and you get to do OBGYN (including deliveries) and trauma (depends on your work place). There is no long term pt contact.
3: I want flexible hours.
EM, PM&R
4: Calls are alright here. Usually it’s only 1-2 a month.
5: Long hours are not a problem either
6: Like to know what happened to ‘my’ pt. So I guess long terms but for the moment I don’t have many years behind me - I guess that could change?
7: Like working with sick kids - but their parents can be a handful.
peds critical care. In USA this is long hrs, calls in general in USA are Q2 or 3 for most depts.
also consider Neurology, pain management, reproductive endocrinology, optho (retinal specialist), Nephrology, allergy immunology.
Overall though my feeling is that you can make most any subspecialty whatever you want it to be … it comes down to negotiating your contract to your liking.
