Hi, I'm a second year cardiology fellow trying to decide whether to sub-specialize. I really liked both advanced heart failure and EP. At this point, I feel more drawn to EP, which I conceptually find very interesting but have not had too much experience actually scrubbing into procedures, although have watched some during EP rotations. I love EKG's and EP concepts, problem solving, and procedures but my main concerns are about the potential physical stress of long procedures (back issues) and also being a female in the field (hoping to get pregnant in the next few years). I definitely want work-life balance which seems pretty decent in EP from what I can tell.
Would appreciate any insight in these issues, and in particular if any female EP's out there, would love to hear your perspective. Thanks!
