Is it because Ophthalmology is more competitive than Anesthesia?

This is why I’m going OD instead of MD-ophthalmology. I don’t want anything else I love eyes too much

we go through 8+ years of sleepless nights studying, have $400,000 of debt to get the degree, and dont even have real control over what our future career will look like

It's so weird to me that anyone would list more than one speciality.

I’m a 3rd year DO student, on my surgery rotation. I’m interested in ophthalmology and have been for years. But the reality is that idk if I will match and I def would need to take a research year to be remotely competitive. Rlly debating it rn and I only have a few more months to decide. I just tell ppl I’m interested in IM now bc I feel like I’m gonna walk away from ophtho

Sure, luck is important. But the number of people applying to ophthalmology is several orders of magnitude higher than anaesthesia. Few years ago anaesthesia would not fill positions. That I have never seen in ophthalmology.

It’s so extremely stressful. There has to be a better way. I think it should really be more like traditional jobs where we get to manually choose where we go from interviews. Bc wym I don’t get to decide where I spend the next four years of my life

Thanks for sharing your story! I’m an M3 on rotations now. I’m nervous for next year, but at least this will help me mentally prepare.
