And rightfully so. Do you really need to be the top of your class to be a dermatologist? No. People go into it because of the lifestyle and paycheck. IM doctors have a tough job and I'd be happier knowing my IM doc was AOA over my Dermatologist.

I don't disagree with you at all. Like I said, IM people are often extremely smart. And if they aren't smart going in, they learn a ton and are probably smart by the time they get out of residency.

I also can't fault people for wanting to go into something with a good lifestyle and good pay.
