  Send us Fan Mail We’re back for Part 2 of “Am I in the Right Specialty?” — because apparently choosing a career based on vibes, caffeine tolerance, and how personally offended you get by a clinic running 45 minutes behind is completely reasonable. This week, we finish our throwback magazine-style specialty quiz and find out where your PA personality really belongs. More questions, more questionable logic, and more opportunities to realize that your specialty may have chosen you long before you chose it. Grab a pen, keep track of your answers, and play along with us. Your specialty fate awaits.
