Desired specialties in medicine? And not so desirable?

Question

Is endocrinology a desired speciality among the professionals? In medicine what would you say are some of the most desired specialities? What about least desired specialties?

Answer 1

Oh, I think the biggest money-makers are probably the most desirable...dermatology, plastic surgery, neurosurgery, immunology/allergists...

The least desired are probably general internists, pediatricians, FPs...

Also, kind of worth noting, that for some reason, orthopods are really given a hard time (strong as an ox, twice as dumb, etc) by other docs...yet it is a lucrative career.

I would suspect endocrinology would be somewhere in the upper middle part of the list.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

It depends on what you want.  Plastic surgery is very popular, because our country is very vain.  But a cardiologist saves a lot of lives.  I don't think there are any more popular than another - I can say this because I work in the medical field and see it all the time.
