Hi all,
4th year medical student here, recently matched at a great EM program but having recurring doubts entering residency and whether or not I chose the right the right path. I think I am the type of person that could be happy in a number of other fields in medicine and I can still picture myself in those fields unlike my other classmates who vomit at the thought of say primary care. Though I love medicine, I really envy PA/NP's flexibility to just switch fields at any given moment if they so desire.
Is it normal to have these doubts/cold feet upon entering residency? What makes you or anyone so 100% sure EM was the right choice 10-20 years down the line?
