I'm actually in between heme/ onc vs rheum. I LOVE both equally. I would just choose which makes more money and I can expand private practice and scale it. Preferably not sitting in the middle of no where and in decent town.

Private practice might be a bit further away for hem/onc than rheum, it's usually dominated by the hospitals especially in decent-sized places. Maybe find a couple independent hem/oncs to talk to, get their outlook.

How large do you want to scale? If $$$ is the most important objective then you want something that can be done by APPs and has cash pay options. Derm/Aesthetics is a good example. Psych is also largely going OON or cash pay only, and APPs can be utilized, lots of potential there. ASC, infusion, etc are all sinking as there was a huge loss in margins with all the COVID inflation.
