As medical students, we’re often asked about our future specialization plans. Sometimes, we enter our studies with a clear vision, while other times, we have only a vague idea. Regardless, our curiosity about the various fields of medicine never wanes. A quick Google search can reveal the average duration of training, average salary, and other general details about different specializations.
