Hi, looking for a little advice from those of you who practice dive medicine. I am an internal medicine resident in Cambridge, MA. As I have begun diving (advanced OW certified with ~25 dives logged), I have had an increasing interest in dive medicine. I am interested in anyone's advice or suggestions regarding pursuing a career in dive medicine.

Thanks all for your help
