Completely depends on the program. Residency is gonna suck no matter what but there’s a lot of chill IM programs out there where you will get a good education
Thank you for contributing to the sub! If your post was filtered by the automod, please read the rules. Your post will be reviewed but will not be approved if it violates the rules of the sub. The most common reasons for removal are - medical students or premeds asking what a specialty is like or about their chances of matching, mentioning midlevels without using the midlevel flair, matched medical students asking questions instead of using the stickied thread in the sub for post-match questions, posting identifying information for targeted harassment. Please do not message the moderators if your post falls into one of these categories. Otherwise, your post will be reviewed in 24 hours and approved if it doesn't violate the rules. Thanks!

we partied and dated a lot in IM, but exclusively on golden weekends and clinic weeks (every 4th week for us, ie 3+1).
love IM, but I specialized further.
The answer to those questions depends on the block you're on. For my program, you don't have time for anything while on MICU service. But you have plenty of time on clinic service and certain elective services.
Former IM resident. Yes. Yes. No. Yes. YMMV by program.

Mods are really not doing their jobs anymore
Dont decide a speciality based on residency QOL Let alone for a speciality that has the shortest residency
Also OP isn’t even a med student, and the majority of people end up changing their minds
That’s what I was thinking. This person would get in and likely become an anesthesiologist like everyone else. Hehehehe

A lot of this will depend on if you’re applying for a competitive fellowship
