CiM: Medical Specialty Preference Inventory

Careers in Medicine is a website that my school encourages us to use. I took the Medical Specialty Preference Inventory which helps rank the 6 main specialties.

“Specialty preference scores indicate your overall level of preference for each of 6 medical specialties. Scores of 73 and higher indicate a preference for a specialty with higher scores indicating greater preference. Scores of 69 and lower indicate little preference for a specialty with lower scores indicating lesser preference.”

At least I feel like there is some consistency in terms of what I think I’m interested in and what these surveys indicate.

Surgery-General 74

Obstetrics and Gynecology 49

Internal Medicine 48

Pediatrics 48

Family Medicine 42

Psychiatry 36
