MS-3 that has changed my mind a lot

Ortho -> Cardio -> Ortho -> EM -> Rad -> Derm -> Rad -> Rad Onc -> Derm and finally back to Rad w/ probably either a neurorad or IR fellowship. I feel pretty confident in my choice as I'm in my last rotation of 3rd year that is a field that I am considering.

Started med school thinking Anesthesiology, then ENT, then IM, then Radiology.

Now I am thinking the IM -> GI route vs. Rads -> IR vs. integrated Vascular surgery.

Half way done with third year. Will see how much I change my mind in the next 6 months.

I'm close to halfway done too (Surg, FM, and on IM now). I doubt doing psych, peds, or OB will change my mind but who knows. I was considering an IM subspecialty but I think I could barely get through 1 year of IM, let alone 3 haha

I'm interested in trauma surgery, but I'm not sure if I want to go the gen. surg or ortho route. :confused:

From what I've seen the decision comes pretty naturally after one gets decent exposure. The difference between bones and bowels is pretty substantial
