I'm new to posting here, so hello everyone! Sorry if this is redundant. I'm a PGY2 Neuro resident starting to think about what type of practice I would like to go into. I'm having a hard time, because my thoughts keeps jumping back and forth about what I would like to do. Thought maybe you all could give me some pros and cons about various subspecialities.
I do know that lifestyle is important to me, because my family is high priority for me. In general, not too excited about procedures (I do kinda like EMG/NCS though). I thought I might like sleep, but concerned that there maybe limited opportunities for this subspecialty. But then again, Neuromuscular and Movement Disorders sound interesting. But, then, at times I like the pace in a hospital environment (Neurohospitalist not NCC). I considered that I would enjoy joining or starting a headache practice with a holistic approach. Ie. a center with psychologists, anesthesia, other naturopathic medicine (acupunture?). With this, though, I'm sure I would end up with a significantly lower salary and of course headache is saturated with pysch patients. I don't think that MS or Epilepsy are for me, but I haven't done a dedicated rotation yet in these fields. I know that I do not enjoy research. As you can see, I am all over the place. Any thoughts??
