Que Sara Sara?
Hmm... did a medical specialty aptitude test online. And the results are pretty interesting... or not. ;) Try it out for yourself.
My top ten medical specialties I should seriously consider in the future (or so the test results say):
1 | med oncology | 46 |
2 | hematology | 44 |
3 | dermatology | 44 |
4 | physical med & rehabilitation | 44 |
5 | urology | 43 |
6 | psychiatry | 43 |
7 | general internal med | 43 |
8 | radiation oncology | 43 |
9 | endocrinology | 43 |
10 | radiology | 42 |
And my bottom five specialties, stuff I should not bother considering:
32 | anesthesiology | 36 |
33 | thoracic surgery | 36 |
34 | nuclear med | 35 |
35 | pulmonology | 34 |
36 | cardiology | 34 |
Well, I'm glad that General Medicine is in my top ten, but Urology in number 5? I haven't done Dermatology yet so I can't really comment... Haematology? Hmmm... I can't believe Orthopaedic Surgery ranked higher than Pulmonology and Cardiology. I can't believe ANY surgical specialty ranked higher than Cardiology.
And so, my conclusion is this test is crap.
However, the top ten does give a bit of food for thought...
