There are still many physicians who lead happy and fulfilling lives and love their jobs. Let’s talk about physician happiness and what you can do to enjoy a fulfilling career as a future doctor.

Honestly any time I look up things about becoming a neurologist they seem so depressed, burned out ans overworked. Highly discouraging. I'm going to do derm instead they always seem happy.
I was accepted to medical school this week! I know this will be a challenging career, but there’s nothing I’d rather do. Thanks for making these videos, they’ve helped inform my choices multiple times on my road tk get this far :)

very happy to see Maslow’s hierarchy of needs addressed here
As an Ophthalmologist I would say that if you choose any medical specialty because it says something to who you area as a person you will be happy. Of course monetary compensation is an important factor and it seems that Ophthalmology while still very good is perhaps lagging comapred to some other medical-surgical specialties such as ORL.. however the ability to restore vision in impaired patients is truly rewarding. And all specialties shoudl have their unique meaningful moments and these uniqueness is ultimately what you must pursue ;)
You should make a “So you want to work in public health!”
I am already finishing my medical internship, but I am so confused about what specialty to choose. Thanks for a little help with these videos, I hope I can make a decision soon
When he said General surgery as 2nd happiest speciality , my heart beat raised 🙈 💓💓💓💓

I have a question about the Physician Compensation. Is compensation and salary different? I’m guessing that salary is the income that’s earned on paychecks while compensation is income along with other benefits like insurance & 401k???

Lack of respect? A doctor is one of the most prestigious jobs in society
Great video as always, however, I noticed a factual inaccuracy. At 2:46 the base of Maslow's hierarchy of needs should be physiological, not psychological.
Figured Anesthesiologist would be higher up

Are you Canadian or American or from a different country? -If American, volunteer or shadow (not sure how it works as I’m from Canada and shadowing is absent in Canada) or educate yourself on health/medicine related subjects -Canadian: volunteer, educate yourself on health/medicine topics -Different country, should be the same for the above -In any case, it’s your first year, you should be pretty lenient on yourself. enjoy the break unless you do extra studying for fun. Being a premed stresses the important of time management and balance in life. So take it easy in the break, you’ve just about finished your final exams and you should be able to reward yourself with doing what interests you and something that isn’t so taxing. Another idea is to look at anatomy cards

Concentrate on your school for now and get into the habits of college. If you do a lot of time-consuming extra curriculars, your grades may suffer and that will look to medical schools like you do not manage your time well. If by the end of your first semester, you’re knocking it out of the park, get a job with your university’s tutoring program and tutor other kids a couple times a week. I wouldn’t start volunteering and clinical exp until 5th semester. It’s hugely important to pace yourself. Do join your pre med clubs right away, though. Then at some point you may be promoted to leadership within the club.
I wonder where palliative care lies on this list. It’s always left out of these surveys.

From my interactions with Palliative doctors they typically seem pretty happy. Their whole job is minimizing suffering as much as possible which is incredibly rewarding. A visit from the palliative care doc can be the highlight of a suffering patient’s day.

USMLE? Are you planning on staying in Spain or do you want to go to the US or Canada, because if you stay in Barcelona you don't need to take the USMLE, just the MIR exam. But if you want to go to the Northern countries of North America, I think you are eligible, as long as you have the medical training and a couple of other criteria, though I don't remember which ones.
