What Kind Of Doctor Should I Be?

 If you're in medical school or you want to go to medical school, learn what kind of doctor you should be.  Take the Medical Specialty Aptitude Test.

It turns out I should have been an occupational medicine doc.  Here's my ranking of specialties I should have been.
  1. occupational 
  2. aerospace
  3. nuclear 
  4. pulmonology
  5. nephrology
  6. rheumatology
  7. anesthesiology
  8. preventive
  9. pathology 
  10. radiology
  11. thoracic surgery
  12. neurology
  13. ophthalmology
  14. radiation oncology
  15. dermatology
  16. infectious disease
  17. neurosurgery
  18. psychiatry
  19. otolaryngology
  20. allergy and immunology
  21. med oncology
  22. plastic surgery
  23. physical med and rehabilitation
  24. urology
  25. hematology
  26. endocrinology
  27. emergency 
  28. colon and rectal surgery
  29. cardiology
  30. gastroenterology
  31. orthopaedics
  32. pediatrics
  33. general surgery
  34. obstetrics
  35. general internal medicine
  36. family practice
I guess answering that I have no desire to follow patients long term  and that I like a fixed schedule and that I like math really skews the data.  Or maybe I done gone and messed up my life.

  4. Test told me to do either ID or hematology. I guess I would have still done the right residency if I'd listened.

    Can't imagine being anything but a hospitalist after 10 years...
