*If you think you're not smart enough to become a doctor, think again.* Everyone starts out the same: helpless sacks of meat, knowing nothing except how to breathe, drink, and sleep. Not everyone is destined to be a doctor, but don't let "I'm too dumb" be the ONLY reason you have for not pursuing a medical career you're interested in. Actually, this goes for any career. Have a good day, fellow internet stranger friend :)

Unfortunately, intelligence is also largely genetic, lol. Definitely not the only factor, but it is a false image to say that we are all on a level playing field. Dozens of other factors also make the playing field uneven. Socioeconomic status, upbringing (more or less enriching environments), etc.

EM is only competitive if you really want to do EM but do a bad job on your EM rotations. EM matching relies much more heavily on letters (SLOEs) than other specialties. There are a wide variety of programs and many spots, you just have to be willing to give up that big city intense ER training to be sure to match which many people generally avoid so their match list can be unrealistic if they have a weak application. This happens in IM and other specialties too, just not as much I believe

Shauna Schiffman I know this is generic advice, but I advise that you be selfish in what specialty you choose. Of course choose a job that will make you happy, but also make sure it doesn’t mess with the kind of lifestyle you want to live. I am an emergency doc, and I love working in the ER but I enjoy having half the month (at least) off...AND NO PAGER! I guess what I am trying to say is that we all felt this calling to be a doctor. And we have all made sacrifices to serve others. But you got to put yourself in the forefront when you choose a specialty. Your patients will benefit significantly from you being happy in your chosen specialty.

Richard Wood I really appreciate that you said this. I am getting my BS in nursing right now and want to apply to med school after I am done. One of the things that attracted me to nursing was the ability to work three twelve hour shifts. Is most of emergency medicine like that? Long shifts with more days off? If so that would really help me figure out what direction I am going. Thanks.
@rygarisfun8164 4 жыл бұрын
NickkOfTime it absolutely is like this. It is probably the most flexible job in medicine. Some people make a career becoming a traveling ER Doctor working 24/7 for 7 days straight at a rural ER or become part of a big corporate medical group (CMG) where they mandate you work 16 10hr shifts a month. There are a lot of ER docs who work the 3 12hr shifts/week stint.

A successful and coherent atmosphere in the OR requires that Surgeon and Anesthesiologist are at equal ground, there is no "second in command". There are two different roles here and one cannot do their work without the other. An Anesthesiologist needs to be comfortable taking charge of a patient when $*** hits the fan during a case and also to be the patient's advocate when deciding on the risks of surgery + anesthesia. Of course, my bias as an Anesthesiologist and probably Dr. Jubbal's bias having been on the surgical side. Teamwork.

I find iy absolutely mindblowing how different it is in Brazil. Around here, Anesthesiology and Psichiatry are among the top 5 most competitive specialties. And psychiatrists make TONS of money too, perhaps one of the top earning specialties. Emergency Medicine is practicaly non-existent in Brazil, ERs and even ICUs being mostly run by recently gradutated doctors without any specialty, ufortunately. And Family Medicine is virtualy unkown by the gerenal public, but the government has been making efforts to strengthen the Primary Care.

I'm currently a medical scribe in an ED and I see many patients with shortness of breath, abdominal pain or chest pain. It does get exciting when someone comes into the trauma room or arrives with cardiac arrest. But there are also many patients that come in for trivial things like a cold or sore throat when they could just go to a clinic and get treatment there. There are also many patients that are homeless who come in repeatedly (multiple times a week) for alcohol intoxication or drug overdose.

If you can hack the the drinking from a firehouse that is medical school and are a good text taker: I say go for the MED school route and specialize in Psych. It is a long path but my friends who went this route have a wonderful quality of life. And in my opinion, sometimes it’s nice to pawn off the time consuming therapy part to the PsycD/psychologists/social workers. Unless the therapy part is the most fascinating part, then by all means absolutely ditch getting an MD/DO and get that masters/PHD in psychology.

Very thorough excel doc, props! I think, however, that "AOA percentage" and "Top 40 NIH School" are flawed criteria in and of themselves because they automatically "score down" a specialty that accepts IMG (or DO) regardless of what the candidate actually accomplished in medical school. Furthermore, neither of those criteria are rated equal to Step scores or Publications by PDs. As I'm sure you agree, there are some very brilliant, well-published IMGs who complete a residency in the US.

Choose the speciality that you see yourself doing. You are happy in and see yourself waking up to go to work happy and feeling fulfilled for the next 25 years. All physician are very handsomely paid and it is well respected profession. Never make it about salary you will paid more than a senator.

PM&R is extremely underrated. In fact, the specialty is more high-tech than what is explained here. You have TONS of things to do (including injections and robotics) and you can pick whichever you want according to your interest. They deal with several human systems: musculoskeletal, neurology, and even cardiopulmonary system which is not mentioned here. Their patient ranges from babies to elderly patients. Their way of thinking is very different from other doctors, very patient-oriented and not just focused on "curing" the disease. Therefore, their relationship with patient is often great, not to mention their satisfaction rate of their lifestyle. It is truly a hidden gem that looks like a lump of mud for a medical student.

I want to go into family medicine! Sadly at my university, people are making fun of me for wanting to do that. Because it isn't a competetive speciality, they think every doctor of this kind is pretty dump. They all forget how important family medicine is and how important it is to be very good in it!

FM is the best for me! It's noy glarmourous, of course, but who cares? There's is no other specialty where you can bond so strongly with the patients, families and comunities and use that bond as a powerful diagnostic and therapeutic tool. I'm the one who takes care of gramma's back pain, daddy's smoking addiction, mama's pre-natal care and I'm the one who makes sure the kids are growing alright. My patients might even need to see other focal specialists, but I'm always the one coordinating their healthcare. In other words, I am the doctor they call theirs and for me it's the best thing ever. Besides, I hate hospitals.

Ambush Yea but I’d rather have minimum knowledge of everything rather than limit myself to only one branch. If you have a heart problem you will NEVER see a plastic surgeon, pediatrician, psychiatrist, etc. but FP/GP will see everything. And in my personal opinion is this is the best and most honorable doctor type.

I'm very surprised that psychiatry isn't very competitive in the US. As a practicing physician in Brazil, I have seen a rise in people wishing to enter the psychiatric field. Anesthesiology have surprised me as well. The only field who has less competitors here is family medicine. It's a field with few resources and it's often seen as "simple and easy" so I can see why it's less competitive here too.

Pre-med and current ER nurse here. You hit the nail on the head. I love working emergencies, but could never in my life imagine becoming an emergency physician. I work in the Texas medical center and I would say roughly 60-70% of the patients we see, do not need to be in the ER. The worst part about it is that attempting to educate them is next to impossible and only comes off as rude to them. It's a very big and expensive problem.

Vc é do Rio? Muito prazer. I have friends from Brazil currently doing Peds EM rotations in Miami. Peds is a different world compared to adults, but same issue, like 80% of the patients do not need to be there, a lot of parents treat the ED like it's their Pediatrician's office and bring their kids in for any cough or cold -_-
@caseytodd7632 4 жыл бұрын
@@johnolive9477 These are the same parents who come see me in triage because they have been coughing and running fever this morning and didn't go to work. Or whose back has hurt for the last 9 years and today "it was really bad." Then the kids grow up and having not had any normal pediatrician with healthy continuity of care, end up with chest pain at 35 and are back in triage. And when we recommend to the mother that she needs to see a pediatrician for her kid or a pain management doctor for her own back, we are scoffed at, told we do not care and receive poor reviews from patient satisfaction surveys. Vicious cycle.

Pediatrics can be a total joy. I have been one for over 30 years and I can honestly say I still love my work. Obviously you would only love pediatrics if you like children. Pediatric is a vocation within a vocation, if you are meant to be a pediatrician, you will be one, you won't even spend much time thinking about it. But if you work in pediatric oncology, you will need super strength of character. Watching kids suffer and die could break your spirit. But that isn't even the worst. The very worst thing you may have to deal with as a pediatrician is child abuse.

Those average salaries are quantifying salaries even lower than the average obviously. In Miami, I know quite a few physicians who earn half of the average you state. Family physicians in Miami Florida earn 100 K and I know of one earning less than 100 K. Kids better think twice about medicine before they rack up a debt load which their salary will not be able to pay for.
