    Primary care is the devil. After barely surviving through it as a PGY-1, I knew I had to switch specialties. Hands down the worst year of my life. I would rather have sat in jail for a year with three hots and a cot.

      Great website! What about Preventive Medicine? I’ve heard it’s a decent gig for those who are looking to “just get through a residency” without too much of a drain on oneself and a specialty a physician may come to find at least tolerable, if not happy with.

        Preventive Medicine is definitely one of the more benign residencies. You can check out the SDN Forums and find out more there. If I am not mistaken, I believe you spend 1 of your years getting a masters.
