General surgery quickly proved to be the closest match to this and piqued my interest very early on in medical school. While working through my core year of rotations, I found the surgical aspects driving my motivation and self-learning more than any other specialty. Advanced rotations and sub-internship experience where I had extensive hands on training resolved any doubt that general surgery is the right match for me.
