Imagine before when thousands use to apply, now we are having less than a thousand applying.
The medical job market is so bad that going abroad is no longer a career goal for many doctors. It's becoming a survival strategy
I've always loved the idea of orthopedic surgery
You get to rebuild bones, joints, and ligaments . There is the part where you get to incorporate tech with surgery. Surgery with robotics, scopes, and implants etc. There are also lots of lanes to choose from. There's trauma, sports, joints, spine, ped. You get to pick what keeps you interested. Also there's a high demand for it with good compensation too.
