Glad you mention board scores. It almost doesn’t matter what you want to be if you can’t get an interview. With Step 2 still having a score best believe you better score as high as possible.

Hi, i'm a pediatric resident in Sudan at my last year. to my surprise the first diagram was accurate for me. My experience was a little bit different, even 1 year after graduation l couldn't chose a specilty then it hit me; i don't like adults😅, although i love listening and interacting with patients. but of course this wan't my main cause. Now I fall in love with neonates and kids every day of my residency, it gives me more patience, smiles and focus😊.
Sorry if there is a grammer mistakes

Thanks so much for this video. I was completely undecided once I got accepted to medical school. I’m currently a 4th year student and I’ve narrowed it down to Pediatrics and PMR. It is has been difficult for me to decide between these two. I know that there are double board specialties or fellowship options, but I’m still unsure how to decide between these.

Hi loved the video, and just wondering on a scale of 1-10 how difficult is it to match into a radiology residency. From your experience
