that would be true but unless u wear short dresses I can't hire ya as eye candy
I read one of your post which says cardiologists and internists are almost the same except one extra year?. Is this true?. Does that mean that to be a cardiologist, you have to do internal medicine first and then specialize in cardiology?.A nice clarification will be much appreciated. THanks.
That is true with most internal medicine specialties ...... Neurology, rheumatology, endocrine, gastroenterology, etc. If you are a family medicine doc you would have to start over and take an internal medicine residency from scratch then move on to these specialties. With that said, interventional cardiologists require more than one extra year above us internists. I can, however, read and perform stress tests and thalliums all the time because we internists get heavy training in cardiology and would probably be able to pass the general cardiology boards and practice as one if I wanted to back in the old days. Those of us who practice in underserved areas function as infectious disease specialists, neurologists, endocrinologists etc. and do consultations for the local family practioners. I teach in an academic setting that has all those specialties but when I am on call at a more rural hospital setting I become the specialists.... it is very hard work but most gratifying. If you see the tv show House, there is a reason why he is a internist and not a family practioner.
Thanks a lot for the much informative clarification. I would love to follow in your footsteps. The end gratification and the knowledge that you're making a difference in people's lives everyday would be a powerful driving force for me..even if the Job is quite demanding. I really appreciate your response.Thanks and Thanks again.More grease to your elbow!
medicine is still the best profession in the world despite all the grumblings, why don't you consider going to med school? Hint: believe it or not the private medical schools may actually be cheaper since they have so many endowments. Dartmouth gave me a 50% tuition break which amounted to over 100 grand when I went and it would have cost me more to borrow for state SUNY medical schools. Also, if you choose to serve in an underserved area for at least 4 yrs I believe?, they pay for your medical school tuition and give you a 1200 a month stipend.
Thanks a lot for the advice. I am already in Med school abroad and I'm now getting ready for my board exams. I really would love to serve in an underserved area for sure. The fact that they might pay for my school loans will be an added bonus. I just need info on how to go about this and any other suggestions you may have for me.Thanks again.

The national health service corp is the main one. here is the info. My gynecologist is Lebanese and went to medical school in Lebanon before going to Hopkins and got his loans paid off so I know it's not just for american educated medical students.
