@@sn7510 Hey Anas :) No specific color codes at my hospital or any that I've worked at. Usually we wear blue or blue/green but they'll let you know if your hospital has any specific rules for that. Show up early on your first day so that you don't get lost on the wards and miss your responsibilities. Other than that, just be open to feedback and keen to learn 🤙 good luck! - Gianluca

Thanks so much buddy :) I think most residents don’t find much value in content creation since residency is already a lot of work and editing can be a chore after a long day. Best of luck with everything!

Love your videos Gianluca! Your personality really shines through in these videos and it's clear to see how passionate you are about medicine, becoming a great doctor, and caring for your patients! Looking forward to seeing more videos from you soon because they're all so good!

Hi Gianluca, Thanks for your videos! You’ve helped me a lot in understanding what being a doctor is like. I started watching your channel in high school when I was thinking of taking the premed route and now I’m applying to med schools this year! Also, family medicine sounds really amazing :)

Thanks for posting these Dr. John 😂. Its so awesome for a premed like me to feel even more confident in my dream to go to med school when I can acc see firsthand what goes on in the actual workings of the job that I'm hopefully going to pursue. You've helped a lot of people 😊

Coming right up 🤙

just to provide some of us new medical students with some perspective, what is the time commitment like for a first year family medicine resident? ie hours per week, how often youre on call, etc... 😅

@nxtgenmd

Жыл бұрын

Sure thing Z - so in my program on average work weeks are 50-70 hours per week of direct clinical responsibilities or program specific requirements (classes, presentations, etc.) To be honest though, the vast majority fill in at about the 55 hour mark. Then there are some weeks where you get off easy and finish in 30-40 hours... and some weeks where you're there for 80+ (both of these extremes are less common though). Call will vary by specialty, school and rotation. For me on my OB/GYN rotation, call shifts were 2-3 times per week and lasted 12-14 hours. On internal medicine, we'll do one, 24 hour call shift and then a few other 8Am - 11PM call shifts. Usually, most people in my program will study for about 1-2 hours per night - I don't study on weekends that I have off. Hope this helps!

do you think youre gonna pursue fam med in the US as well?? Been here for a while, glad to see your channel growing!!

Thanks my friend 💪 likely not, but I have that door wide open in case the right opportunity ever comes up. I have most of my family here and a community of patients that are counting on me (not a lot of fam docs around here unfortunately).

if you are done with family medicine and you did an additional 1 year of training of in Emergency medicine (CCFP-EM) track, can you get the full license From CAEP later on?

@nxtgenmd

Жыл бұрын

Hi AM, what do you mean by get your full license from the CAEP? At the end of the CCFP-EM +1 year, most doctors will go on to challenge the exam. Successful completion grants you the designation of CCFP-EM. Here are two resources about the exam and routes to EM in Canada if you'd like to do more research 🤙 1. www.cfpc.ca/en/education-professional-development/examinations-and-certification/examination-of-added-competence-in-emergency-medic 2. canadiem.org/routes-to-emergency-medicine-practice-following-a-family-medicine-residency/

Why are you taking the step 3? Are you planning to practice in the US in the future?

Hi Bo, I've talked about my experience and reasons for writing the USMLE exams in dedicated videos but in brief, going though the American exams has forced me to study and stay current with many different concepts and has helped me personally to be a more well rounded and confident doctor. Also, I've spoken to many doctors who regret not taking the USMLE exams during training. If some day I need to practice in the states, then at least I'll have them completed already. Trying to study for them when I have my own practice already though would be very difficult.
