| Editor's Picks Choosing a medical specialty to enter is perhaps the most important choice a medical student will make in his or her career as a physician. Many factors ultimately influence this decision, from level of compensation to the desired level of interaction with patients. With 2018 coming to a close, it’s a good time to examine trends among medical specialties for the year. The highest-paying specialties and their average annual compensation are as follows. Patient rounds are an ideal time for clinical learning, but all too often faculty miss this opportunity to teach residents. Incorporating teaching close to clinical encounters is difficult for faculty because they do not have a framework for doing so. That’s where mini-chalk talks can be extremely helpful. The program director should have a general idea of how the program evaluation committee will operate prior to recruiting members. Some committees may be composed of only the required three members—two faculty and one resident or fellow member— whereas others, such as for smaller fellowship PECs, may include all faculty.
