Deciding on medicine as a career path is easy, choosing a specialty, on the other hand, is burdensome. With over 30 specialties and over 100 subspecialties, the decision is no easy task. Over the past terms, medical students at the University of Khartoum have held many events to showcase the different medical specialties, featuring graduates that pursued various tracks, clinical and nonclinical. They encountered hardships coordinating the event and a maximum of a couple of hundred students would be able to attend.
Hence comes the need for such a document. This manual was created to give medical students a simple introduction to the well-known medical specialties, and some insights and advice from specialists who pursued these fields as their passion and career.
We would like to thank each and every person that made this manual possible and facilitated his part of the process actively and passionately.
