Also, what would be the effect of speacialities after health care reform compare to practicing prim care But, what about the above article, accoring to it after 3 yrs income is not a lot different except high specialities like CArds and GI.

There is more income potential in the long-term for subspecialists, and if you ever find it more lucrative to go back to your normal specialty, you can do it easily. Dev, I work for The Doctor Job.

Go for the fellowship, but maybe take a year or two and save up so that you're able to make it financially. Dev, your chances for the long term will be a lot better with a subspecialty.

I found the above article interesting. I am really in a dilemma. I am 1year post residency, working as a Hospitalist in a big city making around 180. I wanted to apply for Pulmonary and Critical Care- matched now for next year. But, now I am confused. Its hard to go back to fellowship salary mode. I am thinking after 3 yrs of fellowship I will be losing a lot of money, I dont know whether my salary will be remarkably diff after fellowship, as I understand Pulmonologist in big cities start from 190-200. Also, I dont think there is growth in long term working as a Hospitalist, though start is great. Should I do fellowship or should I do Prim Care? Any suggestions would be highly appreciated. Hi,
