So for my OB/GYN rotation I can pick for these sub-specialties:

Posted by James Bond (aka Igor) (aka Igor) Oct 14 '11, 20:09

Maternal Fetal Medicine
Gynecologic Oncology
Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility
Urogynecology
Family Planning

The most useful will probably be the oncology one... but that is sort of depressing so I will pass. Endocrinology and Infertility can be interesting but I think I will just end up watching a ton of in vitro procedures which is probably boring. Maternal Fetal Medicine will probably be the most challenging one but likely the most diverse too. Family Planning will be useful too. Hmm

I think I will go for Maternal Fetal Medicine, likely the most interesting.

I actually sort of think oncology might be less depressing than the potential in some of your other choices. -- nm - kare Oct 14, 20:53

I have a bias toward endocrinology. I have no idea how your time will break down, but a lot of it is hormones. - loosilu Oct 14, 20:10 7
- thiking some more ... which one will allow you to assist deliveries? because that's gotta be a huge thrill. - loosilu Oct 14, 20:13 6
  - I think I will do deliveries on all of them. Hmm.. I guess the Endocrinology one will give me a chance to get really good with hormones. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Oct 14, 20:17 5
    - I can hook you up with Charles Glueck! if you don't know his name, you'll learn it in that rotation. :) -- nm - loosilu Oct 14, 20:19 4
