MD & DO What specialty is right for you?

[SeldingerFan78]

This is an infamous dilemma that has been targeted by countless quizzes and personality tests. As we head into residency application season, I thought I'd post a few links to articles that might help people choose a specialty that best resonates with them. Remember, a single rotation experience (good or bad) may not be representative. Similarly, these articles are generalizations not dogma... enjoy.
