For example, internal medicine AND Pathology?

Guys, I'm giving an EXAMPLE! I would never take IM and Pathology, I know there not a good match!

embroidery fan, I think you're talking about sub-specialties.

Yes, but internal medicine and pathology are not really synergistic.
Typically, those who specialize in two fields, pick two fields that are somewhat related.

Yes, and it's not that uncommon. I know doctors who have done residencies in pediatrics and anesthesia and are pediatric anesthesiologists or critical care docs.
It takes extra years of training, and if you don't mind earning barely over minimum wage for another 3-5 years, then go for it.
I don't know why you'd pick IM and pathology, though. Either of those specialties would keep you busy full time. Do you plan on working 100 hours a week forever with two separate jobs? Do you even know what a pathologist does?
Just wondering.

I'm specialized in Family Practice and Occupational & Environmental Medicine. On the whole, internal medicine and pathology wouldn't be a logical pairing (Some, of course, doubt FP and OEM together making sense), but I suppose you could do residencies in both. It'd take a while, believe me...

Internal medicine and pathology are very different....internal medicine is to required some time to keep patients out of the pathologist realm....
As long as you to school to study it after you get MD license. It takes 3 years to gain one speciality and 7 years to gain a MD and in Canada it can also take another 4 years to gain BSc.
Have to tell you though if you choose a speciality that is synergies then you only have to do one...as my son did he is studying Oncological Immunological Disorders...he has completed his second year and next year will be last year....then he will work either in a lab or within a hospital
So much school no wonder doctors are poor when they start out...and no wonder they don't want to work long hours they are exhausted when they finish....

You can have as many specialties as you want, if you like school so much. Plus the better job you can get. A good example is a pediatrician and an oncologist. You can help kids with cancer and be more understanding of their natural tendencies as a child.
Good luck in whatever you choose!

except you're properly into your scientific college scientific rotations that's stupid to take a position as you what you ought to prefer to do. in spite of in case you think of you recognize what you prefer to do, as quickly as you get in there and notice what the different specialties are relatively like, the probability is very extreme which you are going to alter your innovations. there is likewise the entire stepping into med college element... there are lots of people who prefer to pass into medicine, yet have not got what it takes to get standard. it somewhat is relatively useful to to hold off on the long term making plans till a minimum of that step has been complete. As for the two you stated, the neuropsychiatry element is in all probability going to be an tutorial interest, which has the two reward and downsides, and can't be on the perfect of the earnings record. Oncology bargains with an excellent variety of hopeless circumstances, and success could be measured in protecting demise away for some greater weeks or months. which would be your element, or not, yet you may not understand till you adventure it as a scientific pupil.

Some specialties ARE combinations. For example, allergy specialists need to be trained in internal medicine plus rheumatology. Doctors who treat women's cancers need to specialize in both oncology and gynecology.

Yes; for example, many specialists also go for pediatrics, so they are certified in both their speciality and in pediatrics, i.e. Pediatric Cardiologist, Pediatric Neurologists, Pediatric Oncologists, pediatric Otolaryngologists, etc.

Of course you can. You will just spend more time in school.
