M4 just finished interviewing for internal medicine and making a rank list. I had a difficult time choosing a specialty before submitting application. I was going back and forth about anesthesiology and internal medicine for while and I thought I made peace with my decision but I continue to have some doubts. During my conversation with my dean, I was told that I can change specialties during residency but it seems like process is cumbersome and options are going to be limited. I ruled out anesthesiology based on two weeks elective during surgery rotation and in hindsight, I should have tried a formal rotation in different institution (our school doesn't have residency). My concern is that I haven't really planned anything rest of the year and there isn't a good reason to explain my year off in education other than indecisiveness. Any advice?
I am in middle class rank step 1/2 240s/230s, no red flags.
