Internal Medicine is geared to becoming an internist. Family medicine is a general practioner. Big difference. FM will have some surgery, OB, GYN, etc. IM will have IM and it's subspeciaties.

You'll have to do some research regarding starting salaries, etc. That's three years away from the focus of this forum

Good luck
