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...

"So all you aspiring doctors or medical students out there, I recommend that after you get your MD, take that extra mile and study psychiatry. First of all there aren't that many psychiatrists in Malaysia, and secondly most (if not all) psychological illness are not 100% curable, so guaranteed repeating customers, unless of course you are a lousy doctor or a miracle doctor."
