Hey, friends! Hope you enjoyed today's video about "Pros & Cons Of Being A Hospitalist". Take advantage of all my favorite med school tips and tricks in this free guide here! (themdjourney.com/med-school-success-handbook/)
Good stuff! I do have a question though-- I've commented before but I'm between IM and Cardiology like you. I do like "flexing the medicine muscles" like you mentioned because I think it's nice to know bit about everything, but one of the main cons for me is the "admin" work where a lot of the time is spent coordinating the team rather than seeing the patient. You may have mentioned this in a another vid but about what % of the time on average do you say is spent doing administrative work rather than focusing on your patient?
I think a lot of what most (non procedural) doctors do becomes admin related (notes, etc ). As a Hospitalist I may be seeing pts for 3-4 hours of a 12 hour shift and the rest is a combo of notes, communication with social work and other teams, and managing requests from pts/nurses. Tricky to see what is just admin related. I'm assuming it'll be less as a cardiologist
Having a good schedule and family time should be more important to people. My husband worked insane hours as a business owner. He died suddenly when our 5 children were ages 6 to 23 yrs old. We don't get that time with him back.
Great video! I have a quick question about highlighting and underlining on reading textbook/syllabus, I usually underline a lot when reading and it gets complicated. What should i highlight and underline in terms of content in general. Thanks again
Probably would minimize highlight/underlying all together. What's the purpose of doing it? Do you come back to them? It may be a better use of your time to take what you want to highlight and write a question in the margin to answer that. So now when you review - you just do the questions in the margins
Cool, Does hospitalist spend more or less time than primary care with paper work? How many hours? Do you frequently deal with critical cases and death? Thanks!
Hospitalist here wondering how you got into your cards fellowship - did you do rounds w the cardiology service or did you just apply without ? Did you have research ?
Not necessarily wrong there. But from my experience - cards is more interesting so even if the salaries were closer so I would pick it just to have a more enjojayable career.

250k seems so underpaid for the importance of this job

Just do PRN, per diem, locums etc. cherry pick your schedule, stay away from annoying administrators, make good money etc

Hi amazing video! I have one question, is 10k solely just savings or do you still have to pay groceries rent and car insurance?
Are you sure you won’t face some of those same cons even as a cardiologist?
Hell no, cardiologist is 10x more fulfilling as a career
Great content, keep it up! Best of luck with your fellowship
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks 🙏
Can I just say I like the anatomy artwall pieces? They’re so good and have the cool doc vibe
Great video for inspiring physician
Thanks for the comment. Glad you liked it!

hii i was just wondering what do i need to do to become a hospitalist? like how many years does it take?
Med school + 3 years of internal medicine or family medicine residency!
@@TheMDJourney thank you so much!!
@@TheMDJourney also how many years is med school?
a lot more ppl would be hospitalists if cardio paid the same tbh
