Not a bad list, but my scores only go from 40 to 31. That's really not much of a difference.

 

I think there's already been a thread about this test.

Je suis pas certain mais c'est les médecins qui se spécialisent dans la médecine du travail (genre accidents de travail, burn outs...etc).

 

La traduction directe c'est Médecine du Travail.

Forgive any formatting issues- I did the test on my iPhone.

 

It's funny, when I was younger I really wanted to do reconstructive surgery... Neuro has also been high up on the list, but I see

Myself getting into family practice because I prefer the autonomy of owning a practice and not having admin hounding me...

 

I guess we'll see how accurate these results are in a few years.

Huh, I was a bit surprised at first but now i think this mostly makes sense. I'm surprised how many surgical specialisations made it onto the list at all since I have mediocre manual dexterity, hate long shifts, and prefer theory to practice.

i think this test is truly starting to represent my apathy about medicine, hehe, i wouldn't mind doing any of the top 9, they're all chill.... all the hcore specialties are near the bottom, which is what i expected, lol! would have been nice to see preventative med/public health higher up.

Fascinating! I'm just starting medical school this fall, but so far my interests have certainly lay with: physiatry and rehab, radiology, endocrinology, and psychiatry. Interesting that all of those are in the top 12. I'm quite surprised that peds is where it is, as I have absolutely no interest in that field.
