Idk if you’ve done this, but you ought to do a video on the variables that go into how med schools are ranked. Some of it makes sense, like average test scores of matriculants, but some of it is a little dissociated from what most people consider to be core to becoming a great doctor, like NIH research funding. Great video, as always, Dr. Jubbal!
Please don’t call IM or FM “lower tier”. They are “less competitive “ but one major reason for that is because of the sheer number of residency positions compared to other specialties, especially the surgical ones you mention. It is this type of rhetoric (conscience or unconscious) that prevents more top students from choosing primary care specialties - what communities all over this country need more of to provide healthcare to Americans. Thank you
👏
Honestly, I think the biggest factor preventing people from going into primary care is the salary. The amount of money you borrow (and with interest) to pursue a medical degree isn't exactly made up when pursuing a career in family medicine. Specialties or anything procedural based is simply better in terms of financial return on investment. Plus, if you're starting a family and need to pay off loans, I feel like you can live comfortably off a FM salary but it's still not as financially sound. I'm biased though as someone going into a "competitive" specialty for residency soon.
@@skirmisher10 I guess the bigger question is whether or not medical education needs to be as costly as it is especially if we want to attract underrepresented minorities or candidates who are seeking the lower salaries specialities you mention
You haven't seen any of his other videos, have you?
@@tobiajibola3877 Watch his video on why medical school is so expensive
In short. Top tiers may give you an edge but your metrics also matter.
Yet the the real ones who suffer are premed students who get weeded out due to the AMA which lobbied for less med school enrollment so we'd have less docs nationally and keep income high. So no it doesnt matter which med school you go to but whether you're willing to engage in years of useless coursework just to get into med school.
I think for academia prestige matters. For the more competitive specialties, it won't hurt either. That said, where you go doesn't determine if you'll be a good doctor or not. I've had professors who came from Ivy League programs who are terrible teachers and are honestly god awful when it comes to patient interactions
You videos are very helpfull and they are GREAT!!!
As an M4 from a mid-tier school in the middle of residency apps, if you can go to an MD school that is top 50 or even top 25, HUGE leg up. Especially with pass fail step 1.
Really? Why do you say that?
@@acd1168 bc it’s the truth 😂
Is it just me or having 30-50% of program directors considering the title of the University actually sounds huge? The video made it sound like 50-70% of directors don’t care, but that’s like saying most car accidents happen when the passengers have their seatbelts on
What's the wisdom on schools that refuse to rank? e.g. Tulane, Loyola-Stritch, Penn State, MUSC, MCW, Creighton? All these schools consistently match students super well - Mayo, Cleveland, etc - but all refuse to submit rankings, and the general consensus is that if they did rank they would be roughly low-mid. Where do these schools sit?
No. I went to Medical College of Georgia and am doing just fine as an oral Maxillofacial surgeon. 😊
Congrats! I know someone who went there. She is a pediatric nephrologist.
Medical College of Georgia is a fairly prestigious school
Why in our modern age, with multiple ways to measure candidates (GPA, MCAT, STEP, personal experience, etc) are we still using “recommendation letters” for medical school admission or residency selection? Who you know and who you can get to write letters for you has zero bearing on your ability to be a good doctor. It’s an archaic practice that should be dropped. We have data to measure candidates. We don’t need a creative writing contest.
Because they want someone who can be a good doctor not just someone who can take a test
@@mustang8206 I don’t think letters of rec are an effective measure of who can be a good doctor. Way too much subjectivity and luck is involved in finding good writers. The multitude of essays and the interview should be sufficient to show someone is a decent, empathetic human capable of being an effective doctor.
I’m not sure about how they’re used in the US. But in Canada, the reference letter is typically to identify any area of concerns of the applicant
I think letter of recommendations provide additional insight and context about a prospective candidate, especially if the writer is presumably someone who knows the candidate well. That’s where some falter; getting someone they hardly know to write the letter. That said, those Likert scale type check box recommendation forms I do think are meaningless. Checking only “Excellent” lends nothing to the conversation; checking anything lower than excellent May hinder the candidate.
Verbal and networking skills are worth assessing. Computers cant be doctors.
Where you want to practice is of high importance. If you want to practice in TN, go to school in TN. If you want to practice in PA, go to school in PA.
I like the content
But the “ad” for your program just shows one of many problems in the USA med school (or entire college) system….
The more I watch this channel, the more I notice how elitist the narrator is. (Ex: consistently talking about lower and upper tier specialty just bc they are more or less competitive)
I plan to retire at the end of 2022 at 57 after 36 years in Telecom as a sales engineer. My wife will retire in October 2022 and she's loving life! But walking away from a good income stream and building the nest egg to living from the nest egg is a scary proposition couple with the alarming recession and CPI report
I'm thinking of investing into stocks esp index funds.When you invest into index funds you're essentially investing into the economy as a whole. Because you're choosing to own a little piece of all the most successful companies in the country/world but how are we going to achieve all that given that the market has being a mess most of the year?
@Paki Ray sure fnancial-advisors are outperforming the market and raising good returns but some are charging much, seeing that their services are currently in high demand more than ever....seems more like taxing to me
@Paki Ray Please how can i reckon with such skillset? I'm seeking for a more effective investment approach on my savings, putting it to work because its getting killed due to inflation
People underate the importance of a financial advisor and Business analytics...what you do with your money is more important than the money you get...unwise investments has rendered a lot of people,celebrities inclusive bankrupt.
YES. I've been using the blueprint of "TRACY BRITT COOL FINANCE" for a while now. I circumvented downtrend and always procured 300k monthly as a newbie using her scheme.
How good and prestigious is george washington university in dc???
Is georgetown better???
You put every other Ivy expect for Dartmouth :(
I’d say med school ranking does matter for competitive residencies, but overall, grades, research, LORs, etc. are more important. A top student from a mid-tier MD with an excellent app is more competitive than a Harvard MD with a mediocre application. Of course, if everything else is equal, then the Harvard name will matter more.
*Had wondered about this.*
I don't think so.
But let's see. Let me skip to the end, avoid all the bs and get the answer.

Solid video, but Orthopaedic Surgery is by far the most competitive specialty with less than a 50% match rate last year. That is wild
Can you do more videos on pharmacy school?
Hiii
Hi
A bs/md program is invaluable for preserving character, mental health, social relationships. Especially important for women who need to preserve fertility and become good mothers. The overly competitive nature of top institutions are a long climb for a short slide. Daughter 520 mcat, 3.9 undergrad gpa happy and healthy at a mid range school where she can relax and enjoy medicine without turning it into a boot camp.
The majority of bs/md programs are at lower tier schools(I’m sure students can convince themselves they are mid) and still require you to keep the types of scores/grades that would enable you to get into a better md program. Really it’s a lot better deal for the school than it is for the student for them to lock up top students into less competitive programs.
@@edhcb9359 Right- that is what it is for. It is a way for lower/ middle tier schools to up their game. But unless u want a competitive specialty, what difference? Good to be big fish small pond as well. You will shine there with mich less effort and better peace of mind. I taught at middle rank and hi rank med schools. Training was much better at middle rank in this case tho students were much better at hi rank, and very cut-throat.
@@Dblue-rhino We did the big fish in the small pond thing for undergrad and our son(similar stats to your daughter) had 10 acceptances(ORM). We ended up going with one of the top tiers mostly because the scholarships in the top tiers were phenomenal. We are paying very little to graduate him debt free.
Ivy League is better
Should have at least mentioned DO schools, and how all of them dont have much of a prestige factor, and can be considered worse than even a carib MD to some PDs like harvard
ABSOLUTELY EFFFING NOT
