I am ultimately planning on practicing in a community setting and while pulm is somewhat interesting I would likely not want to practice it in an outpatient setting which makes me feel like it is a waste to do a third year to specialize in something I am not that interested in. Furthermore I feel like pulm/ccm programs are more MICU-centric whereas straight CCM gives better preparation for SICU/CTICU populations since they tend to be more multi-disciplinary.
My question is if skipping out on pulm and doing straight CCM will be a hindrance when looking for jobs in a community setting in the future (ie are they frequently run by pulm/ccm groups that dont want straight ccm people)?
Thank you to anyone who has been out there that can comment!
