It's funny. I've done this a few times over the years and it always gives me urology on top. I have no interest in urology (I'm in emerg which it always puts way down the list).

Similar results to last few years. I have noticed med school has changed a few of my answers, skewing me further away from surgery than before (score-wise at least). Psych has always been on my radar but there's just something about it that makes me see myself getting antsy and wanting to stick a chest tube in someone. Perhaps after enough chest tubes this urge will fade.

Hmm. Psychiatry has been creeping up my list which makes me happy :)

 

But I ALWAYS get rheumatology first and I don't really understand why...

Mine has changed quite a bit since I last did this... I should shadow a radiologist again, lol. Also, apparently FM is not for me

Nice man!!

 

Highest numbers I have seen so far.

 

The highest I have gotten after a few tests is 48 radiology with pathology in second at 42. You had your top five at 48+.

 

You're in the right field lol.
