Third year med student here. I'm currently doing core rotations and have an especially adamant attending discouraging me from family medicine, which is my dream job - family med with obstetrics (plan to do ob fellowship). Anyways, he said that it's not a viable career since mid-levels (PA's and NP's) can and will replace me.
I'm going into FM regardless since I don't see myself happy doing anything else, but it's still discouraging and frustrating constantly having attendings be so negative about FM...anyone else experience this? How did you respond or rebut these claims?
Thanks!
