A member asked:
Alternatives to being a surgeon if you want to be a doctor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many options: A wonderful thing about medicine training is the many pathways available. Non surgical include pediatrician, internal medicine, geriatrician or you can specialize in minimal patient contact like radiology or even none at all such as laboratory medicine and pathology. Some become medical administrators and a few go to law school as well and add that to their repertoire.
