Watch. Me. Flounder.

Bitch-thrash-wail-moan.

I just got offered a position doing something I want to do, training-wise. Well, not exactly offered, but implied in the 'apply for this' was 'you should really apply because we'll take you in a heartbeat'.

But if they do, is it what I want? I'd have to do a year of adult medicine, and I hate adult medicine.

And it's not, truth to tell, a top-notch program-- people keep leaving, and there's tons of competition from community programs and they haven't had a trainee in a couple years-- and before him, it was 6 or 7 years since their LAST trainee.

I don't know. I don't KNOW I don't KNOW thrash FLAIL POUT.

In regards to the complaints (not a top-notch program, etc), I usually remind myself of something: if it's a perfect position, why is it open?

How much do you want the training compared to how much you hate adult medicine? Can you apply the training to *non*-adult medicine? Will it benefit you in the long run, and if it does, can you hack doing medicine you're not really interested in?

Congratulations on the application suggestion, either way. :)

Never mind

Trust yourself to do what's right for you; that's all that matters.

Ask your advisor!

Really... your advisor/best professor buddy from medical school should be a good person to ask about this.
