[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wondering if I could slip my doctor question in here. My daughter is premed in college. Some of the residency posts here are discouraging. Her dream is to become a medical examiner. We've heard that in applying to med school this is not an interest that should be expressed as many doctors look askance at this specialty. She can make it through that with her volunteer work/shadowing in other areas. When it comes it comes to residency, though, how competitive is this specialty? She has looked into pathologist assistant training as a fallback, but it would seem in this field if you want to be a medical examiner, the PA role would not be nearly as satisfying unlike in, say, family medicine.[/quote] yep, this is not a competitive residency or job. The ME jobs don't pay well and very few people can afford (or choose) to make $100K after spending $300-350K in medical school tuition. [/quote]
