@@lonnisplace1459 My first piece of advice would be to not focus too hard on one school, or even a few schools, only. Because...if you can't get into your state's schools, or whatever school you think you want to, you can still go to medical school, probably. There's the Caribbean; Poland; Ireland; Mexico; and any of those could get you the degree and residency that you need to do most things that you want. These things don't have to only be one way. It's not "if I don't get into X school, I can't..." because you can. It just takes more effort on your part. My second piece of advice would be to give up the idea that you want to be a forensic pathologist. That, too, becomes self-limiting; i.e. if not that, then nothing. The fact is, once you get into med school you will PROBABLY pick a specialty that you never thought of. About half of every class does. I say this, because I've seen in MANY times. Even I started med school thinking I wanted to be a pathologist (mainly because both my mother and father are pathologists), but after I got into my junior year and I went through some other rotations, I found that other things interested me more. I thought I didn't really want to deal with patients directly, then I became a family doctor and psychiatrist. So just wait and see. You might be (pleasantly) surprised.

@@akbeast3640 The best part of getting into medical school is finding out you got in because it's going to be a rough 3 years from that point. The first two years is like finals week in college, except it'e every week. Then third year is getting use to not knowing anything, and the felling you are constantly "in the way" of "real adults doing real work". 4th year feels almost like a vacation while probably still working 40+ hours a week for 2/3 to 3/4 of the year depending where you went to medical school. I am a heme onc fellow from an internal medicine residency, so I only feel qualified talking about medical specialties. For IM, PGY1 year is where you learn what hard work really is. The first 3 months is a STEEP learning curve, getting to know the hospital, the system, and truly learn the word of "roundsmenship." The next 9 months is kinda repetitive in the best way possible. You are still learning, working hard hours, but at a pace you are more comfortable with. PGY2 year is by far the STEEPEST learning curve. For some, it takes 2-3 months. For others, it may take the rest of residency. While their medical knowledge will need continued improvement (like we all do), they learn to take full ownership of their patients. Through out your training, you will face new challenges every step of the way and each time it pushes you towards a new level of comfort zone. But don't worry about all that yet. I would say the hardest part is getting invited to the club i.e. get into medical school. To put things in perspective, I spent 2 months preparing for my medical school application. 1 week for my residency application, and 1 afternoon for my fellowship application. I found it's much easier to convince people you are interested, if you have the access to opportunities. I hope this helps, good luck!

Great video Dr.Jubbal, I was curious to get your thoughts in regards to some of the internal medicine/ family medicine fellowships that some may consider lifestyle specialties. Sleep Medicine (FM) Sports Med (FM) Rheumatology (IM) Allergy&Immuno (IM) Endocrine (IM) Heme/Onc (IM)

I will add up something from my experience in radiology. It can be much more burn out prone than what people often realise. If you have a heavy workload you will have to deal with lots of report deadlines and it often takes up loads your free time

Thank you for this Keep up the amazing content!

ENT is known as Early Nights and Tennis in our institution! Though I don't think the trainees agree with that...

Great breakdown of the decision to make here. I agree that it isn't realistic to forgo money and work hours as factors to consider when picking a specialty. Medical students rack up a lot of student debt and would (or should) want to pay that off as well as enjoy life outside of work. I do think Anesthesiology is quite simple in job description.

The psychiatrist was in residency and says that he usually comes home around 3-5 pm? This is absolutelly crazy in a comparision with other specialities (usually coming around 6-9 pm). I've been looking for speciality for many years and to be honest psychiatry about 8 years ago was one of the worst paid speciality (it's still bad paid :D) and it was very easy to be accepted to the residency program for IMG. Today it is getting harder and harder because a lot of young doctors found out that lifestyle is more than money.

soaphops PM&R is physical medicine and rehabilitation. A simple way to think about it is a combination of non-op ortho and neurology. Working with stroke patients/brain injuries/spinal cord injuries is the neuro side. Sports medicine, joints, and pain management some of the ortho stuff. Because of the acuity of patients (usually always stable, in the process of rehab) there are very few emergencies and thus being on call is not as stressful or as intense. Most PM&R jobs out of residency are Monday through Friday with pretty regular hours. Even during residency the hours are not nearly as bad as other specialties.

Can't tell you what's like to be an oncologists since it's been only two weeks since starting fellowship, but I can tell you what I know about the field and the application process. HO obviously is a subspecialty of IM. It's a 3 year fellowship. There are some subspecialties, but all of them except for transplant is non-ACGME accredited. HO is very research focused because our understanding of cancer is still at its infancy. What this means is that we are making medical decisions largely based off clinical trials rather than application of physiology and molecular biology. I would love to tell you we know the exact mechanism of every cancer and have tools to combat these abnormalities, but the science is simply not there yet. This is a great career opportunity if your goals is to advance the practice of oncology. There are two spectrums of HO fellowship: research and clinical. If your goal is to organize physician initiated clinical trials (rather than drug company initiated), you are going to want to go to a more research focused institution. These are typically your most "prestigious" centers like MD Anderson, Sloan memorial, NIH, Farber-Dana, etc.. (it's actually Dana-Farber, but Dr. Sidney Farber is actually the physician-scientist that founded the institution and Dana is just the money people). These institutions are typically 18 months of learning HO, and then 18 months of research. If you only want to contribute to the field of oncology by enrolling patients to clinical trials or simply practice (without any focus on academia), you probably want to go to a clinically focused institution, where you are seeing patients 80-90% of your 3 years. To get into the fellowship, regardless of the type you choose, the strength of your application is demonstrating your commitment to research. I would argue the quality of your publication matters more than quantity, although there is a threshold of quantity as well. I would do maybe 7-10 things. These could be abstracts, posters, presentation, and obviously publications. I would have at least 1 first author paper or a co-author of a high impact journal. Letters only matter if the institution know the writer, which I would argue is one of the few reason why a training in a competitive residency is important. To sum up, HO is a truly Evidence Based Medicine, more so than any other field. It's an exciting, where the practice is constantly changing because of better understanding of oncology. You are also taking care of patients at their most vulnerable state, so you owe it to them to be the best doctor you can possibly be. If you want to contribute the science, go into a research focused fellowship. If you want to help as many people as much as possible now, go to a a clinically focused fellowship. If you want to do both, you can go to either one and see less patients but spend the rest of the time on enrolling patients to clinical trials. Get a feel for what you like. And if you know you want to be in academia, start setting yourself up now by getting a good step score, to go to a good IM residency, and start research now. Nothing shows commitment more than showing half a decade of research experience. This is a lot of information, and I hope it helps. haha. PS. There is a whole field of heme I ignored.

I will be a doctor that it’s very busy with his job, but will take free time whenever he wants to.

Do you have a video on medical research?

There is more to lifestyle than money/time - for me it’s important be able to manage my time on my own terms during work. Also I wanted maximum flexibility and a job that’s got a very broad spectrum of what I may encounter on an everyday basis and is not just algorithms - to keep things interesting. There also had to be time left for academia during working hours. The job also needed to be in balance with my family and other interests and hobbies and I didn’t want to work nights and weekends if possible. Money should be enough, but was not a primary thing. I’m in the perfect spot for some years now and couldn’t be happier with my choice. Guess what I do.
