Getting into med school is difficult as it is, but depending on what you would like to be when you "grow up," your residency match can be even more challenging. The term "ROAD to success" is something I have heard before. ROAD is an acronym for the medical specialties that have the highest salaries and the easiest schedules. It stands for Radiology, Ophthalmology, Anesthesiology, and Dermatology. These fields are attractive because the nature of the work means few emergencies and therefore a more dependable work schedule. This also makes them much more competitive.
