I am hoping this is the right place to post this. I am a PreMed, soon to be a medical student in the fall and I have an interest in Preventive medicine. I know they say people change their minds a bunch of times as to what residency to apply to, and that is very possible, but both things I envision myself doing in the future as a doctor are related to preventive medicine: breast cancer/ any kind of cancer awareness in developing nations (I am from one myself) and cardiovascular medicine/awareness.
So I just wanted to ask, how is a preventive medicine physician's lifestyle? I know it can be varied. I also know it is not a very high paid specialty, but I wanted to ask if practicing physicians felt satisfied, as well as how residents felt about it. As a final question, are there any physicians/residents that did the combined IM/PM or FM/PM residencies? What were your thoughts on it?
I intend on joining my preventive medicine society when I start medical school but was just curious and would love some responses as well as any other comments, I feel like PM does not get as much coverage on SDN as it should
