Based on your answers to Section 1, all medical specialties have been ranked considering your preferences. We have then presented you with information about how the top 10 specialties match the preferences you said were most important to you in your responses to section 2. This profile shows you the top 10 medical specialties that match your preferences and the report gives you information on these specialties and directs you to further resources.

That's not to say that specialties not included in the top 10 are unsuitable for you; the tool prompts further thinking and will help you to make an informed choice. As we have outlined in your personal report, we'd recommend that you think about options to suit your preferences and lifestyle and research your options carefully using a range of sources of career advice. Please see your report for more detail.
