There may be some down sides but not nearly as much as the upside. I agree! Lets make residency applicable to the subspecialty if you know that’s what you want
Interesting and valid points. To counter this, I find that a lot of residents use their time in residency to sort out where exactly they want their specialty to be. We might be losing out on potential OB GYNs if they don’t get the exposure to the field.
Correct. But in my over 30 year experience they sort out they do NOT want to do obstetrics and instead do REI. More $ and less nights and emergencies. If we admit them to an ObGyn residency and train them to do Obstetrics then that is what they should do. Also really, does it take 7-8 years to learn to do IVF?
