Medical retina as a specialty?
Current PGY-2 resident considering subspecialties. What is the job market and compensation for medical retina look like? I realize I have very little experience being primary surgeon, but not convinced I would miss the OR, and avoiding post-op complications also sounds tempting. (Source: Student Doctor Network)

I am out of residency and for various reasons I postponed taking boards until after fellowship, I need to stick to one resource for q bank, I plan to do BCSC, one book (Friedman review of ophthalmology) and I want to stick to one course Wills vs San Antonio vs. Illinois Eye vs. Lancaster? I am not sure which one to pick, any recommendations are welcomed.

Radiology to Ophthalmology Switch
Hi! I am an incoming PGY-1 who recently matched at a Top Radiology program located in the Midwest (R1 year starting '24). While I am tremendously grateful to have matched at a cush, world class program, I seem unable to shake my interest in Ophthalmology that flourished through multiple rotations in medical school.
