What do you think would be the best medicine field to specialize in?

I'm premed now and looking at medical schools to go to. I know I don't have to decide right away but just a general idea. I kinda liked oncology radiologist (i think thats the name). But does anyone have any ideas and reasons why?

Well I'm mostly interested in oncology and neurology (somewhat internal medicine). If I could, I would like to one day start my own practice but I don't know if I need a to be a certain type of specialty.

This depends so much on your personality, skills and interests... I would tell you emergency medicine but I'm clearly biased and I don't know who you are or what you like at all.

My suggestion would be to make contacts whenever possible, volunteer, ask lots of questions of people in various fields, and research the field online. Your school likely has an adviser specifically for pre-med students. Keep in close contact with them and seek internships, shadow opportunities, and volunteer opportunities. A good way to get an idea of what's going on in a field is to read up on forums for professionals involved in that field.

Good luck!

Radiology is not a bad choice. Don't have to make rounds on patients. No clinic. Not usually called out in middle of the night. Anesthesiology is not a bad gig either, especially pain management. The reimbursements are very good. Dermatology is the cream of the crop, but it is my understanding that it is very difficult to get a residency.

Do what you love, something that intrigues you and will keep you interested, the body is an amazing thing, but if you choose a specialty that you don't like, it will not be a good experience. Of course I would have to say cardiology. :)

You can start your own practice basically with any specialty, however the most common one is a GP.

Geriatrics. With the aging population we now have, you'll have your hands full trying to keep them healthy enough to be self sufficient.

If you like both neurology and oncology, you could become an ocologist and subspecialize in brain cancers (a neuro-oncologist).
