8 Internal Medicine Subspecialties Explained

What options are available to internal medicine residents? Let’s dig into the different internal medicine subspecialties in terms of competitiveness, work-life balance, salary, and practice types.
You’ll often hear that internal medicine is for students who don’t know what they want to specialize in, but there are eight subspecialties specific to IM, including Cardiology, Gastroenterology, Pulmonology, Hematology and Oncology, Rheumatology, Endocrinology, Nephrology, and Infectious Diseases. Learn more about each one of them and find out if this path is for you.

    ​@@Stoneface_ classic pre-med take on oncology. Im very glad to say most people have good outcomes and this statement is ignorant and false. Surg onc and rad onc cure people ALL the time, the problem is when you get to stage 4 its not curative (for most disease sites) and you see heme/onc for non curative chemo

    Great video, I have one question though: why is your IM character so strikingly similar to Dr. House? He has subspecialized into nephrology and infectious diseases.

  • @julesinmed

    @julesinmed

    6 ай бұрын

    That would be because IM doctors are seen quite like the "diagnosticians" of the hospital (even though every doctor makes diagnoses) and they're required to know not just a bit of everything but a lot about a lot! Kinda like Dr House would come up with insanely specific bits of knowledge about the most random things😂

Suppose I did Active-Learning and still, got a bad mark on a test. How can I determine my faults? What should I do next? What can I learn from this?
