Hi guys!
I am a US IMG (from a European medical school), top 5 of my class, step 1 255/99, currently preparing for Step 2. I am planning on doing some research in the States, starting this fall. However, my major problem is that I have not yet decided what specialty I want to pursue!
My top 2 choices are Cardiology (Interventional) vs. Urology.
Which one would you suggest is better? I like doing things with my hands, but I cannot stand the endless 10 hour surgeries of General Surgery.. I also like having long-term relationships with my patients, however, I want to be a specialist!
It may also appear as somehow vain, but what is the social status of these specialists in the American Society? Because in the country where I come from, Urology is not considered such a desirable specialty..
Thanks in advance!
