If there is a dearth of nurses and a glut of physician assistants, the same thing. Whatever. . .I am sure a pediatrician can't transfer into being a geriatrician but there are some potential areas of overlap.

It just doesn't work that way. I hate to brake the news to you but in general here is the rule. The brighter medical students specialize in specialty fields, whether it's in surgery or internal medicine. Do you seriously think any medical student can become a CT surgeon. Just because one has an interest in an area does not mean they are qualified. I remember some classmates that could barely figure out a rectal exam. Needless to say they went into psychology or pathology....LOL
