3. Internal Medicine
In coming years America will lack internists as only 23% of students plan to practice internal medicine. The field that ranks third in our list of most in demand medical specialties in America, seems so unappealing to young graduates because it requires substantial knowledge to treat old people with complex conditions, as well as loads of paperwork. At the same time, the yearly income of $222,000 is sixth-lowest among all specialties, so medical students rather opt for more lucrative fields. Internists are second most unsatisfied specialists with their career – less than a half of internal medicine doctors is satisfied with the salary while only one quarter would choose the same specialty again.
