primary care

I know how much DO emphasizes primary care, so would it hurt my app if I don't shadow a primary care doc? I worked with radiologists for 1 year, and I have been working for an orthopedic surgeon for 7 months now. I also shadowed a cardiologist, pulmonologist, and infectious disease doctor. I...

Can I list both academic medicine and primary care as interests if schools were to ask this question? Particularly if the school focuses on primary care? I just don't often see/hear about PCPs doing research or working in large teaching hospitals etc.

I applied to many primary care and some categorical tracks with plans to practice outpatient medicine, possibly "specialize" in geriatrics. I just completed some more consult electives and realize that I may want to subspecialize after all in fields like nephrology or gi. I'm still 50-75% sure...

1) I know its primary care based but what about pediatrics/ pediatrician? 2) At the end do you become licensed to practice medicine like you would in a typical residency program? (Assuming you pass all board examinations). 3) Is there any surgical options? I know in some places some surgical...

I know the two are very different... Anyone else deciding (or decided) between these two? Would appreciate input. Please don't bother talking about $$ Surgery [+] : the hands on; the procedure is the main medicine (I would much rather learn procedures over pharmacology); I like the varied...

Hello guys. I have matched in to Internal Medicine-Primary care. I had a question regarding board certification. Do I get the same ABIM certification after completion of residency? Also,I have heard IM-PC residents match into outpatient endo/rheumatology fellowships, but how many percent...

Hello, I was hoping to get some discussion going and some different opinions on this. At different schools as well as just from other students I keep hearing the need for primary care doctors especially in underserved areas. I plan on working in the underserved communities but I was wondering...
