How to plan career after final year MBBS

When I was in my last year of final year MBBS 10 years back, a lot of people used to ask me, what line I would like to pursue further. I honestly did not have the answer and I am sure most of us would not know. Its only after internship, after having worked in various departments that one knows what specialty is one going to follow. My suggestion is to work hard in internship, see and get a feel of working in various fields and then go about making a choice.
So what after clearing the PG exam (provided you clear it), My advise is that don’t be disheartened if you don’t get clear it in the 1st attempt. Most of the well established doctors didn’t clear it. Most of us would clear it anyway in 2-3 attempts so be patient and persistent.
I asked a young doctor at the end of her internship, what specialty is she after and she replied, “Anything except surgery, medicine, gynecology and paediatrics. Being a surgeon I could understand why. There is a lot of hardwork, nightshifts and heavy stuff involved and surgery and medicine today are considered incomplete without super specialization. The generation of today doesn’t want to spend continuous days in hospital.
So make your choice early and dont be disheartened. Write back if you have a comment
