Right back you! Thank you <3

Oh amazing!! Congratulations on starting as well!! Good luck!🍀

Hey! I definitely think it’s worth it. It’s been extremely fulfilling and there’s SO MUCH you can do with family medicine. You definitely CAN do fellowship after residency if you wish. The fellowship options are different from internal medicine and include fields like emergency medicine, geriatrics, palliative, sports medicine, etc. family medicine covers everything ranging from pediatrics to OB/gyn to adults to geriatrics whereas internal medicine focuses only on adults and geriatric medicine.

@@ZeelShahMD then why it's less preferred and underpaid if it covers so much

It depends on who you speak to. Family medicine is definitely preferred by those that are interested in the broad spectrum. Also salaries really vary so I can’t say that we’re necessarily underpaid. At the end of the day, do whatever makes you happy and whatever you are passionate about!

@@ZeelShahMD reason i am asking i want to apply in both im and fm and so confused everyone speaks so much different being img i dont understand training is same then why so much difference

The training is not the same. There is quite a bit difference in the training actually. Internal medicine does NOT provide training in pediatrics or obstetrics. Internal medicine is ONLY focused on adult care whereas family medicine covers pediatrics/obstetrics/adults. It's quite a big difference actually. If you do NOT wish to have training in pediatrics and obstetrics, then internal medicine is perhaps a better fit.

Thank you so much!!

Thank you!!!!🥰

That’s so sweet of you! Thank you

Thank you so much!!!

Thank you so much! So I can definitely try and ask to find out and make a video for you! I personally know of a vascular surgeon but not specifically cardiac surgeon. I can definitely look into it and try !

@@ZeelShahMD Love ya

Yes- internal medicine def can earn money through moonlighting depending on what their residency program policies are! I’m not entirely sure what you mean by time limit?

@@ZeelShahMD time limit means Apart from 80 hours to be spent on residency per year How much time can we work for moonlighting I am asking that mam😊😊

@krishnendumandal2024 - I see what you mean! I believe you’re still bound to the 80 hour rule in total IF your program allows you to moonlight in the first place.

No I’m not actually :) I’m a Canadian citizen working as a doctor in the USA and going to Zambia on a mission trip :)

It really was an unforgettable experience and I learned so much!! ♥️🥰

Thank you! It was lovely :)

​@@ZeelShahMD❤️❤️❤️👌👌👌

Thank you so much!! It was genuinely a super rewarding experience🥰🥰🥰

Wow that’s amazing! Where in Zambia did you stay? Good luck on your studies!!

@@ZeelShahMD I lived In Lusaka, but visited Livingstone a few times. I even came up from the Zimbabwe side a few times. Thank you for the well wishes. I started following you awhile back because of my interest in Family Medicine. My name is Justin Steward, I started the google account when I was in Zambia. It’s the name of a non-profit I started there. I’m hoping to one day start a clinic under the same umbrella. Blessings!

@@zionstewards6508 thats so exciting!! I haven't been to lusaka yet but hopefully someday! best of luck with your non-profit and your future clinic!!

Thank you!! It is a beautiful and amazing country 🥰

It's such a beautiful country with amazing people!

I had an incredible experience and it has been so helpful in my clinic. I think teaching family physicians how to do ultrasound procedures is an amazing idea! Good luck and I can't wait to hear all about it :)

I’m glad it was helpful!!!

Exactly!

Stay tuned for future videos! 😊😉

Yes I have! 😊

This June!

Thank you!! I just finished my Boards so I def will make a video on it

Hey! Great question- yes you definitely can. It really depends on how much you work and what you plan to do moving forward. I don’t think that there’s necessarily an upper limit - just depends on you and how you diversify/structure your practice

That’s a good point! I meant to say that I had a 24 hr shift and then had a 24 hour break before going into another 24 hour shift.

That’s amazing!! All the best to you 🙌🏽

Omgsh!! Good luck!!! You’re gonna crush it! I can’t wait to be done either ☺️

Great question! dermatology is its own specialty so you would have to do a residency in dermatology. It’s not a fellowship that you can do after family medicine. However, family medicine does see a lot of dermatology concerns so you can do CME and train to address common concerns within your outpatient clinic.

Agreed!

Yes! That’s right- I’m in my last year of residency :) I’ll be graduating in June ☺️

congratulations!! @@ZeelShahMD

Thank you!

Great question! You absolutely do not have to do research if that is not something you are interested in.

Absolutely agree! We can't function without them <3

Quite honestly, it really varies by the rotation you're on so its difficult for me to give you an actual schedule.

It's difficult to tell you that because it really varies quite a lot based on the residency program and the rotation that you're on.

Great question but quite frankly every single residency program is stressful. While specialty does play a factor in determining the degree of stress, there are a lot more factors that are important to consider. Most importantly, anything is stressful if you do not enjoy what you do and/or do not have the support of the leadership. It's important to pick what you enjoy and find a program that is a good fit for you as an individual.

Family medicine is a 3 year program
