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).

nosuperman Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 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. 1 psychiatry 45 2 physical med & rehabilitation 45 3 aerospace med 44 4 radiology 43 5 pediatrics 43 6 preventive med 43 7 occupational med 43 8 nephrology 42 9 gastroenterology 42 10 general internal med 42 11 family practice 42 12 endocrinology 41 13 infectious disease 40 14 neurosurgery 40 15 rheumatology 40 16 dermatology 40 17 allergy & immunology 40 18 med oncology 38 19 pathology 38 20 urology 37 21 nuclear med 37 22 cardiology 37 23 emergency med 37 24 radiation oncology 36 25 hematology 36 26 neurology 36 27 obstetrics/gynecology 36 28 thoracic surgery 36 29 pulmonology 35 30 colon & rectal surgery 34 31 orthopaedic surgery 34 32 ophthalmology 34 33 plastic surgery 33 34 general surgery 33 35 anesthesiology 33 36 otolaryngology 32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmorelan Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 This test is dumb. You can totally tell which questions are geared towards primary care and which ones are not. It's just so skewed.
