After my PG, pursuing a super-specialty offers deep expertise and higher career opportunities, but it demands more time and intense focus. Choosing a broad specialty gives me flexibility and wider patient exposure, though it may limit advanced skill development. Iā€™m weighing both paths based on my interests and goals.

I think super speciality is better, as it improves diagnosing.
