The video is a great response to the overwhelming negative talk about med schools but the title is misleading. Could’ve done better and you would have gotten your point across much more efficiently. In no way did you compare to other countries, you just listed general traits. As a med student in another country I would much rather prefer attending med school here rather than the US and I got no insight in why I should think otherwise - which is the reason I initially watched it. You’d be better off changing the title and make the video about what it’s actually about which is responding to criticism WITHIN the US rather than arguing the US is better than everyone else without providing proper arguments for it.

1) I know both undergrad and postgrad students in the UK, yet not much difference in whether they were ready for medicine, it’s a unique degree, not sure anyone is truly ready. 2) Med school is hard on every country 3) I would argue due to way residency works in the US with the USMLE, competition is far higher and less collaborative in the US then other countries 4) Medical schools in other countries also promote research but regardless I would argue that in a lot of cases it’s promoted too much, we should just let some people be clinicians. 5) There is no evidence that doctors is the US are any more talented on the whole site and than any European countries. I would note with US research, it wasn’t the US doing a lot of important covid research, look at Israel for real world vaccine data, the UK for the recovery trial. None of these ‘advantages’ are unique to the US. This video really demonstrates US exceptionalism.

You clearly didn't check out med schools from other countries, but you are saying American is the best. This is so American thing lol.

bro rlly said he's all about nuance and made that part of his personal brand... and then publishes the most non-nuanced video with a grossly misleading title and american exceptionalism all over it.

Like with all things. For those who are self driven, competitive and grab every opportunity with both hands, the United States in general has the best of medical education and training one could ever ask for. Actually working in America however...now that's a whole other story!

I'm curious, how do the top US schools compare against Canadian schools? Can you objectively say one is better?

If med school was only "a little bit of stress" 😂 another quote to consider is "bread only rises with rest." The mentality that med school is hard therefore it develops character is not something I have seen as a student. I've only seen the stress negatively impact our physical, mental, and emotional well-being. I've seen it take away students'/ residents' passion, enthusiasm, and even empathy for patients. I've seen it push people to the brink of suicide. Med students don't need pressure to perform well or try their hardest. There's no way we would have made it this far if we weren't self driven and oftentimes our own biggest critic. We need supportive, non toxic environments that allow us to be human and care for ourselves so that we can care the best for our patients.

1) If the length is that ideal then why not have both undergraduate and postgraduate medical schools? 2) Medical school is rigorous across the world. 3) Making the curriculum pass/fail transfers the weight to other aspects not to mention assuming graded systems fosters a negative environment in that students wouldn't want to collaborate to further their peers is ignorant. 4) Research is helpful but not to the extent were you need to participate and publish dozens of studies. 5) US doesnt cherry pick the top doctors they literally restrict them a leading doctor with decades of experience cant practice in the US without starting from scratch

Startup is really picking up momentum, looking forward to leading the future of medical education and looking forward to future discussions as things take off. Thanks for another high quality video 🙏

Not sure if I just watched inside information about the medical education in the US or an advertisement for the said thing…

Don't understand why you had to do a video like this, other than letting everyone understand that u know 0 about medicine in the rest of the world.. Almost everything you said is not an exclusive of US system, especially in Europe is very common what you said. U lost a point with this video, I'm sorry to say this.

Canadian medical school have all these things for a fraction of the price.

They might be the best if it weren't for that crushing student debt

I’m used to a little more objectivity from this channel but an interesting video regardless

The real doom and gloom are embedded in the US higher education system. Undergraduate education is full of empty academics. So much of what we learn in college isn't applied or used in the industry we desire to enter. The insights pre-med may gain from other industries can only be achieved by their own time and their own effort. College would do nothing but waste the better part of your time teaching subjects you'd end up forgetting once in your specific industry. What if you entered college wanting to study medicine? Great! Take US history and art, regardless if you did well at such courses in high school. And if you don't, you won't receive your degree. Yet, these two years of med-school didactics stress and pain only serve as a ripple effect from taking so many "gen-ed" courses. A pre-med student who's ambitious enough would be better off taking med-school didactics in college while leaving clinical, externship, and residency for graduate school and post-grad work. But such institutions don't always strive for simplicity.

This title implies that you researched medical schools in other developed nations and found them to be inferior.

Bro most European med schools got the same merits

Love the comments. Like everyone is saying this video is biased but they are too.

Wow people are really in their feelings about this video lol. It's just a video stating the pros of medical schools in the US. No one said medical school in your country was bad lol. I'm not from the US, nor did I study medicine there, and I don't take this video as a personal slight against my medical education, it's not that deep guys.

Even you say us medical education best…. And still such high burnout rate and stress level and quit… it doesn’t sound right…

Let me speak for those of us living in small insignificant countries: Yes, we realise our schools are not perfect. But it’s demeaning to have it rubbed in our faces this way. And it’s probably even worse for those who regard medical education in their country as of high quality but underappreciated on the international level. I think most of the comments criticising your video are just people feeling genuinely offended (or hurt, as in my case) by the title. I know you are proud American and all that, but please try to be more compassionate.

But also the lowest performing healthcare system outta all developed countries lol

You lost your edge here man

I think that the United States Medical Institute is very efficient and rewarding to the students in the United States and students around the world that hope to study there.

How about a video for international students applying for med school? Btw nice content

A good medical school is not much worth in my opinion if the health care system sucks

The USA has great qualities in medical education because it gives plenty of details and training

“It’s not so black and white and the truth lies somewhere in the middle” Kevin inside: “NUANCE”

Every person I've talked to in real life has had glowing things to say about med school and the overall process. We can't let social media determine so much of how we feel. SDN, med-twitter, /r/medicalschool are all framed by the worst experiences of the loudest people.. and forget about even considering going to /r/residency or /r/noctor unless you like subjecting yourself to insane amounts of toxicity.

Aiims Delhi is best

What abouts indian medical system sir ? Plz make 1 vedio on INDIA ❤ !

Good luck with debt for life

i want to be a Pediatric surgical oncologist

Hi Dr. Jubbal can you do a video on other countries you can work in with a USMD degree and what the transition requirements are in different parts of the world? Curious because I know so many IMGs who came to the US and had to re-do residency to be able to practice here. Thank you!

Wow a satisfying video :)

Make a so you want to be oncologist/hematologist

Sure it’s ok but it’s just the pricing and some of the years of studying are useless and have nothing to do with your career. Cut the cost and time it takes to be a doctor in half and we’d have more people involved, too much money being made by university, not enough opportunity for growth for the un wealthy. The other problem is people waste money going to big universities because of social relationships, I’d rather go to community college 2 years then go to university to save money, not everyone has their priorities straight. I wonder what are the benefits for disabled people interested in medical school, I live in pain 24/7 so I wonder what would be offered for Financial aid. I wasn’t always disabled, I did graduate high school 4 years ago I just wonder if there’s a chance I get to fight for myself and others. I can’t even take pills for my pain, im so butt hurt about losing myself I want to chase the relief of my suffering through science, studies and the medical/science communities. I’m glad I found this channel although I will have to disagree with the claims we have have a very good medical industry, I feel as though it’s highly underdeveloped and to get me to believe it is “the best” you’d have to cure cancer and make better treatments for mental health and chronic pain. Think of me like a customer, I’m just giving my anecdotal opinion based upon my own subjective experiences with psychiatric malpractice and disrespectful passionless doctors, the pain runs deep in me, the passion is there.

First!

I'm from Iraq and I want to get out of Iraq I'm a biologist

I agree with this... 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

US medical schools are very good, but far from perfect. I believe, their only advantage is technology. That itself is a huge strength, but medicine is far more than that. It’s not only scientists what we should be training. Medicine education elsewhere in the world has much more other strengths. Many US applicants, IMHO, just want the high paying stable job, without knowing what they are getting into. I would agree that US residency training in the other hand, is top 10 worldwide, because of the same reason, technology and resources. I just believe the title of this video is extremely biased. Although, medical school is good in the US, and probably very good, it is far from the BEST in the world, and many other developed and developing countries can share that title.

Hoping to get to a U.S. Med school.. From South Asia

Well, most people look down on Brazil and see it as a "Soccer, carnaval and caipirinha country", but liitle they know it has 111 high qualified public universities, in every subject of studies, and medical science is no different. I would say medicine degree here is very close to what is talked on the video, not the exact the same because of the prerequisite to get into medical school, but people here study around 2 to 5 years of preparation courses to get into it because there is a huge competition in the exams. Then 6 years plus 3-6 of residency, plus 1-2 fellowship gives it the same in US; and not to say a considerate ammount of doctos spend 1 year in master courses and others 4 more years in a PhD, because it is a prerequisite to become professor in public university and conduct research here. I had an engineering and neuroscience degree before going into medical school, so I understand the advantages of being exposed to "life" before going into medical schol. About the rigorousness, it is the same. Some uni doesnt provide prerecorded content, but all of them are very organized with timelines and subjects they teach, so the student can be prepared before classes and practices, and evaluations are very hard. Not medicine, but I studied part of my engineering degree in Germany, and I would say in Brazil I had more of a difficult time in evaluations and exams because it was more rigorouss. The curriculum is also the same. 2 years of basic cycle plus 2 years of clinical cycle, but there is 2 years of intensive supervised practice where student does act like a doctor. Research is very common between students of public universities, not only because the encourage students to apply for it, but because it is paid and also will help you in the residency entrance process (this last one is also mediated by exams and interviews, and for sure very competitive). About the quality of instructors, it has been written above. To be a professor at a public university you must have at least master and PhD.

I am a pre-med student majoring in biology but i plan on double majoring in biology and a humanity/language. I am interested in pediatric medicine & psychiatry the most.

Can you please do a "so you want to be a crna” video, please? Your videos are the most helpful ones out there! Thanks. :D

I'm nervous 🧠 I want to be a neurosurgeon

in the US doctors are overworked in europe they aren't so europe is better

great video but idk if i agree with the strong intellectual property laws being a pro. The strong IP law that allows insulin to be repatented even tho it was created over 100 years ago or when pfizer stopped South African AIDS medication from being used during the AIDS crisis over IP protection, which lead to the death of 10,000s.

Can I find a job that will allow me to stay and seek asylum in your countries?
