<p>Hi, I am a student up to the point of choosing a speciality. However, I am not very clear on the nature of work of some specialities. I don’t like to perform surgery, but I want to specialize in a field. </p>
<li><p>Do all specialities require the use of surgery?</p></li>
<li><p>What are some specialities that don’t require the performance of surgery? </p></li>
</ol>
<p>Please list at least 4-5 non-surgerical specialities. </p>
<p>THx,
USX</p>
<p>If you have to ask these questions, you're not up to the point of choosing a specialty.</p>
<p>"Up to the point of choosing a specialty" means that you are currently in February of your fourth year of medical school. This is not the case.</p>
<p>USX, I agree with the others. Something isn't clear or you're not being candid or you are not at a US medical school.</p>
<p>From your other posts it seems as though you are still in high school... so I am wondering, how does that mean you are up to the point of choosing a specialty?</p>
<p>Oh, I still have a year before finishing school, but I will like the path to be more definitive by now. I always like a head start so I will be well informed by then.</p>
<p>Thx for all who replied. </p>
<p>These are just some of the questions that I have when I was trying to formulate specialities that I will enjoy going into. </p>
<p>I am just trying to get more insight and information. I still have some time before I finally have to choose.</p>
<p>you should try to shadow a physician to see what his/her daily life is like. You may find that you want a different career. So first decide if you really want to become a physician, then worry about specialty while you are in medical school, especially during years 3 and 4.</p>
