Thank you, Dr. Andrea, for this long-waited interview! I wished she talked more about her experience in college, majoring in neuroscience. I am still in a community college, and my major will be Neuroscience when I transfer to university. I know how long and hard is the process to become a neurosurgeon. I felt that she was emphasizing a lot on being open-minded about what specialty you choose. To be honest, I felt kind of intimidated listenning to her 😱 but I won't let fear stop me. I wished this interview was live! Thank you again for the interview ☺

Very beautiful and smart neurosurgeon!

YAYAYAYYAYAYAYAYYA!!!! I've been waiting for no for this!!! Love that you had a girl neurosurg with you!!!!

I'm in the exact same position that his lady was once in. I'm only in senior high school but I'm stuck between what career path I would like to follow: Medicine - Neurosurgery or neuropsychiatry / Law. I'm leaning towards Medicine thus far as I want to truly help people and change the world for the better, even if it be only minor. Both ways, there's a long road ahead and this video is extremely inspiring and motivating to work hard no matter you want in life. Best of luck for anyone pursuing a career in Medicine.

Can you please have an emergency physician on!? I'm so interested in emergency medicine and I would love to hear more about it!!!!!

She’s such a wise person and insightful. Really appreciate her input. I’m not interested in neurosurgery but her approach to looking at residency programs and how to choose one is wonderful. She’s fantastic.

I would really love to hear from pediatrician/neonatology specialist :) I'd love to go that route after med school so i'm interested if it's mentally hard to see children being sick and interacting with parents etc. i feel like peds is perseived as not very challenging, it's not as hard to get into residency as ophto, neurosurgery etc. and i want to do somenthing challenging but then i just love working with kids so much! Thanks a lot for inspiring us here and on the blog (miss you there lately!)

@mzjackofalltrades21

I can't imagine others perceiving PEDS as a non challenging specialty. You have to diagnose and treat someone who often may not be able to tell you what they are feeling, and that alone is a huge challenge. I shadowed the doctor who was my pediatrician and honestly people who are born to enter that specialty have such a great ability to sense what is going on at a deeper level (with added experience, of course) So don't let anyone make you feel like it's not a challenge! If it's what you want, go for it and know that your little patients appreciate you :)

Dr. Connelly wrote the famous book, "Walking Out On The Boys." EVERYONE especially women in medicine should read this book. It is great to have more women entering the field. However, one must be mindful, we have a legacy to build and must be cognizant of the privilege.

very good points . How residents interact is a huge deal because senior residents mentor the incoming interns and junior residents. That becomes all the more important if you're working long hours, without much sleep, and critical cases to deal with. You tend to rely on your resident team for intellectual and social support. That'll be my number one priority when looking for residencies

I am 14 years old and I am confident I want to become a medical student. I am interested in becoming a pediatric surgeon, and I think this is a great channel

I was about to get a consult from this woman since she seems sincere and trustworthy, looking out for patients. She sadly left the hospital some time in the past 6 months I was going to have surgery at :(

I love your vídeos , they motivate me to go forward , i am a dentista but my will is to be a maxilofacial surgeon.

im so glad you did this video ive been wanting to become a neurosurgeon since I was five ever since I was diagnosed with a neurological disorder and I was thankful to have a wonderful neurosurgeon that has helped me realized how much I want to become a neurosurgeon

Thank you, Dr. Tooley, for finding a neurosurgeon and posting this fantastic video, and thank you, Dr. Babu, for your time!

Really enjoyed this video! Could you do a video interviewing a transplant surgeon and a trauma surgeon? Those are the two fields that I'm currently looking into!

Ok so I'm 12 and my dream job is to be a neurosurgeon or neuroscience my dream medical school is Harvard or Stanford with a scholarship because I am currently a straight A student the only reason I have straight A's is because I want to become a great surgeon I've had straight A's since 3rd grade (which is the grade they start giving you letter grades) I want to go to Harvard because it's a great medical school the high school I will be going to in a few years has different academy's for your future job ex: medical health is what doctors would be in I'm really working hard now so I can go to Harvard I really thought this through THIS GIRL IS WHAT I WANT TO BECOME!!

Currently I'm interested in EM, Ortho, Gen Surg, and Neuro. But who knows! I'm open to anything.

She's from my alma mater, the University of Minnesota. And all this while I was assuming that Harvard Med School takes in only Ivy League undergrads lol.

YES!!! Thank you so much for this video, I cannot even begin to tell you how happy I am right now!!!

thank you very much for the great video and interview, Im encouraged, I have always wanted to do neurosurgery. I study Medicine in China, and as from Next academic year, by God's grace, I will be specialising in Neurosurgery. Amen.

She's an Indian sitting in America unaware of doctor scarcity in her country. True Indian !! Proud to be an Indian

Great words! Thankyou Dr Andrea.. Much energy to u and I'm Dr. Anil Babu :)

lol this is one of the hardest professions in the world, let alone pediatric neurosurgery. They will tell you up and down "you can do what you put your mind to!!" ......no.

Hi Dr. Tooley! You are such an inspiration :). Thank you for your hardwork in uploading such substantial content on your YT channel while finishing up residency. I have been subscribed for a year and have learned so much from you and your guests in your videos. Whenever you get a chance or if ever you do, could you also interview a psychiatrist? Thanks for being a motivation to pursue pre-med!:)

Hi Dr. Tooley, thanks for this video! Dr. Babu mentioned how 3rd year rotations are really informative in regards to what a specialty is like and can influence a person's choice of residency. My question is, let's say you absolutely love a rotation in third year you were not expecting, what do you or Dr. Babu suggest for obtaining research experience in that field in a timely manner when residency applications are only a year away? Especially for competitive surgical specialties, if one decides on surgery mid third year, that leaves them with only about a year to obtain research in that area before applying. What are your thoughts on this?
