Summer Thing of the Week

All the posts this week will be about medical specialties. I feel like the most common question I get asked when people find out I'm a med student is what field I'm going to go into. As a first year, like a freshman in college regarding his major, I can waffle and say I have no idea. And it's probably okay as a second year too. But as increasing numbers of my classmates figure out what they want to do, I feel a greater pressure to at least think about various specialties. After all, residency applications are at the end of third year, and the sooner I have an idea, the better.
