Excellent videos. Thanks for taking the time to explain this.

[@ELLEEARLEELS]

Informative and helpful as always! Have you considered recording your content in podcast form? Would be another great way for us to consume your content

[@thabitpulak]

This is such a great video, especially as a third year med student!!

[@ahealthcarez]

Thank you for watching and for your feedback.

[@ChadHenryPharmD]

Great compilation both general and specific information on subspecialties and examples of diseases treated. As a pharmacist, I knew most from experience but definitely picked up some specifics about provider training for each subspecialty. Very helpful, thank you!

[@ahealthcarez]

Thank you for your feedback. Appreciate you watching!!

[@joanneroberts4805]

Eric, you are a master of explaining these arcane medical issues to a wide audience. Thanks so much.
Have you thought about taking this conversation deeper with issues such as 1) procedural conflicts between specialists (e.g. vascular procedures between vascular surgeons and cardiologists and interventional radiologists); 2) emergence of point-of-care ultrasound and how radiologists are fighting it (and perhaps AI and radiology and pathology in the future); and 3) evidence of effectiveness of hospital medical,staff peer review?
Keep up the great work,
Joanne Roberts, MD

[@MatthewFenty]

Thanks for the video.
Would add just a key procedure-based ones (but not MD/DO degrees) that health plans would be exposed to.
Podiatry (DPM)
Oral Maxillofacial Surgery (DMD, or DMD/MD)
Dentist (DMD) is usually a separate plan benefit

[@ahealthcarez]

Excellent point. Thank you.

I find it funny how cancer tumours are parallel to Kids 23:50

[@timothypotapenko5046]

Thanks for the very informative video. Where would Chiropractors and Massage Therapists fall under? PM&R? Or maybe under a couple of specialties at the same time, like PM&R, Neurology, and Orthopedics?

[@ahealthcarez]

Good question. I don’t know. Thank you for watching and for your feedback.

[@george_moussa]

God bless you

[@ahealthcarez]

Thank you for your kind words.

[@iconiccMMM]

Med student here, did you say ophthalmology? I didn’t hear under the surgical specialties.

[@ahealthcarez]

I may have left it out.

[@ScottRoloff]

Where does the one-year internship fit in? Is it part of the four years of medical school or is it a separate year between medical school and the residency?

[@ahealthcarez]

Great question. Internship is the first year of residency.

[@Coconinga]

Do you think theres potential for a future physician speciality that combines data science to be created?

[@ahealthcarez]

Good question. I don’t know.

[@liberoAquila]

I didn't know doctors are state licensed I thought it was federal.

[@ahealthcarez]

Nope… it’s by the States. Thank you for watching!
