Admire the transparency and honesty in this video!

Good information! You do such a good job editing your videos and adding cool graphics! 💕💕

Love the breakdown and the way you explained it!

Residency pay is trash! We need to fix this.

Thank you for sharing this info. Keep on truckin you’ll get there. As far as student loans eventually you’ll pay it off, when you buy a house with a loan it seems a lot of money sometime later it’s paid and you can enjoy life.

Taxes and salary are two separate things. The salary is higher because you’re paid more for your work. The taxes vary depending on a lot of different factors!

Yup! No regrets :) it’s a calling

Are the 80h/week or 100h/week paid as such? Are you paid the same regardless of the hours?

@ZeelShahMD

7 ай бұрын

You’re paid the same regardless of the hours because it’s a salary position and there’s no “over time”. According to the ACGME rules, you’re not supposed to go over 80hrs/week so you should not be having 100hrs/week as it’s a violation

Should get paid like a PA or APRN

when i was an intern , i worked 100 hours minimum a week

@ZeelShahMD

Yeah I can imagine! The hours were insane prior to the ACGME changes!

About the rule of 80 hours /week, my question is: - Will my residency be shorter or longer if I work more or fewer hours during my residency?

Criminal pay

so that is 12 years of schooling + 2 years pre-med + 4 years med + 7 years residency = 25 years. If you start at 6 then you complete education by 31 (assuming on gap years). Back Breaking

Yes I suppose the timeline varies depending on which country you’re in since the system is a bit different. Also, residency may be shorter based on the specialty. For instance, most family medicine/internal medicine ones are 3 years. I guess if you choose to specialize then def add a couple more years to it. Overall, it’s definitely a large investment of time

$250k for a $500k x 30 yrs return… yeah that’s a GREAT investment.

$14 is too much for the horrific advice and poor care my loved one suffered at a hospital. I've had a small business--though unusual, we typically wouldn't make anything if the client wasn't happy with our services. Many professions and businesses have leaner times or areas where they "loose" money.

I’m so sorry to hear about your experience and can only imagine how difficult that would have been for your family. There are definitely ways to deal with negligence if you believe that it occurred in your situation. I would recommend reaching out to patient advocacy for that hospital to help you with this matter.

but how much do you make after you completed your residency is the real question.

@ZeelShahMD

You definitely get a significant pay increase after residency depending on speciality, location and scope of practice. Doctors definitely get paid reasonably well after residency but the video is about the pay DURING residency :)

I mean you do make an awesome paycheck BUT think of the 8 years of basically negative income you got (debt) + 4 years of low-ish residency pay while in any other job you’d only be increasing your net worth through pay and investments. when all is said and done, the lifestyle is still amazing and very comfortable but it isn’t as insane as ppl told you growing up

@@ZeelShahMD yeah, but people don’t care much about residency pay because they know that’s part of the process of becoming a doctor, they want to know the end result AFTER they reach their goal. that’s what they will be making years after completing their residency.

@@damienblack1734 That's definitely very true but I do think its important to know how much you'll be making during training so you can financially plan. I agree though- it just a part of the journey!

😩😩 that’s insane!!

Not trying to be ugly, but the amazing thing is to consider how much LIGHTER those hours are than they were when I did it a million years ago. Of course the pay has increased as well, but so has inflation, The bottom line is that residents make basically enough to live on with no frills, etc. And the interest on those debts accrues during residency for most people. THe salaries skyrocket when you finish residency or fellowship, but for some of us, that is as much as 15 years of post high school education and training at no or minimal salary.

Not really lmao it would be nice though!

I can't even with yall. You make more than most of your peers who work harder than you with no status or praise. *some* of you work longer hours than staff, but lets be real about how many hours yall usually get. For most specialties, its 40-50 hours as you can find in most studies done on this topic. In 3-5 years you will make over 200k. You'll pay off your loan in a few years like any other grad student. Go ask a PhD student what their salary is. Doctors are not hurting financially. Everyone is. Signed, a med tech who makes about the same as you for the past 8 years. I stg doctors are the most entitled people I've ever met

Yeah as a resident you make crap but I know a family medicine doctor with his own practice and sis he’s paid.
