nosuperman Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Hopefully not a re-post. 130 question test. Not sure how accurate but worth a shot for entertainment sake. http://www.med-ed.virginia.edu/specialties/ I got psych and aerospace med as my top score with my current favs fairly close to the top.

MCATwannabe Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 Haha, I wanted to become some sot of surgeon since I was a kid. This thing got that right.

PhoenixFlare500 Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 Well my top 6 stayed the same as from my results from a year ago, which is interesting because I've told myself I'd never do peds, neuro or optho. I was also starting to consider family medicine more as an option this year, but apparently I'd hate that. 01 radiology 43 02 urology 42 03 dermatology 42 04 pediatrics 41 05 neurology 41 06 ophthalmology 39 07 endocrinology 39 08 colon & rectal surgery 38 09 gastroenterology 38 10 pathology 38 11 plastic surgery 38 12 nuclear med 37 13 rheumatology 37 14 allergy & immunology 37 15 anesthesiology 36 16 general internal med 36 17 physical med & rehabilitation 36 18 occupational med 36 19 psychiatry 36 20 preventive med 35 21 aerospace med 35 22 hematology 35 23 emergency med 35 24 pulmonology 33 25 nephrology 33 26 neurosurgery 33 27 otolaryngology 32 28 radiation oncology 32 29 cardiology 31 30 infectious disease 31 31 obstetrics/gynecology 31 32 thoracic surgery 31 33 general surgery 31 34 orthopaedic surgery 30 35 med oncology 28 36 family practice 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real Beef Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 Here is my Top ten. I am not interested in gunning for Dermatology, though it is reassuring that my personal no 1 choice is my number 2 choice according to the list. I should look into urology as well. I never considered that but have taken the test twice now and Urology was previously my number 1 now number 4.

Cerena Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 Why not pediatrics or ob gyn? I dunno? Like I'm not really interested in any of my top 10 answers, except for family? Possibly internal... And peds (from last years results). And why does oncology keep popping up? I'm so confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder why neurosurgery and thoracic surgery are high, but ortho and general dead last... Clearly my scores reflect somewhat of a misanthropic nature, so if anything I would think neurosurgery would be low because sometimes you have to talk to your patients during surgery!

Real Beef Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 I think alot of us are getting specialities that we were not expecting (i.e. pathology, physical rehab med., oncology) because we answered many questions based on factors outside of medicine ... For example it asked twice if you have lots of interests outside of medicine and asked twice whether you were willing to work long hours. I answered both of these that I had lots of interests outside of medicine and wasnt willing to work long long hours so it guided me to specialties that have more controlled hours (i.e. Emergency med where you work your 4 x 12 hr shifts then you are done). I suspect that med onc, pathology, emerg, physical rehab have good life/work balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apache Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 i saw my adhd doc today and all the sessions were outside on the roof deck thingy because it was sunny out, i couldn't help but ask if there was a study supporting the efficacy of patio based therapy versus indoors based therapy, maybe the sunlight facilitates communication, thats what they always say, well… there's a first time for everything… guess there'll have to be an outdoor clock to make it 50 on the button, unfortunately theres no clock in the office either… what if you do 2 hours when the max billing is 1.5… and usually for initial assessment… the horror, the horror, then 10 min of unpaid charting on top of that In the movies they are only 50 minute long sessions ... Perhaps the additional 10 is for charting once the pt is gone:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
