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 :)
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.
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 ;)
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
Good work! What an interesting video to put all the factors into perspective. Your videos greatly helped me identify what parameters are most important to me to ensure I am going in the right field!
@Jiha-ed9lv now I may be wrong. Please correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't india one of the easiest countries to become a doctor? It's no excuse for the lack of respect, but that's probably where it comes from.
In the Middle East dermatology is still high in demand but I hear lots of dermatologists complain about patients being so hard to satisfy and always so demanding which make doctors stressed and overworked as well.
Not sure whether that influences derma lifestyle or not.. All specialities are far from perfect anyways. So, I still think derma is amazing job and the payment is great.
Isn't neurosurgery in the top 5 of the specialties with the highest salary? I was convinced that neurosurgery was one of the highest paying specialties🤔
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???
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.
I have a question I like anesthesia but what’s the difference between anesthesia assistant and anesthesiologist how long does it take to become an (AA)?
I recommend viewers search Molemen Herbs on the UA-cam channel to learn their natural methods to heal and reverse different health conditions and ailments.
@@mustang8206 I always wonder the same thing how do people not know about PA’s before applying have they not been in hospital before? Or is their knowledge of the healthcare industry is just that bad
@@bluethunder9102 a lot of them are middle class IMGs/FMGs. With how competitive US med schools are, it's impossible to have never heard of mid-levels because it's literally part of the multipanel med school interview process in the states.
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.
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.
@@degstoll Thanks guys I just brainstormed and finally founded that spain is WFME accredited. Feeling relief now..Also getting into spain medschools was much more competitive than any other European schools..(Change your ways not goal)...Goodluck friends have a great life ahead

Good luck . Be a good doctor

I want to be a neurologist and am clicking randomly in youtube to find motivation. Guess what I got haah
Same
Literally same. I wasn’t looking for motivation, but I was wondering if Neurology made it to the top 5…. I guess it did lol
congrats best wishes
Neurologist too!
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.
very happy to see Maslow’s hierarchy of needs addressed here

When he said General surgery as 2nd happiest speciality , my heart beat raised 🙈 💓💓💓💓
greys anatomy
Neeeever ever
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
Kinda weird that there's nothing on neurosurgery. Would've expected it to be on some of those lists like burnout or compensation
Good work! What an interesting video to put all the factors into perspective. Your videos greatly helped me identify what parameters are most important to me to ensure I am going in the right field!
Where r u from?...which university? Are u still into medschool?
@@falcorosso7388 4th year
so what did you end up choosing now?
Me being interested in cardiology and finding it being in both the top 5 unhappy and most well paid careers😧
FR THO-
I am surprised that general surgery continues to be in the top 5 happiest
Medical scribes = Jonathans = Happiness
What does Jonathan's mean?
😂😂😂
I love that statement... "Hours worked and predictability/ unpredictability"
Family physician here 😊
Lack of respect? A doctor is one of the most prestigious jobs in society
Indian doctors aren't respected within the medical community... general public some of them show high respect
@Jiha-ed9lv now I may be wrong. Please correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't india one of the easiest countries to become a doctor? It's no excuse for the lack of respect, but that's probably where it comes from.
would've expected dermatology to be happy.. 60% is pretty bad for such a prestigious high paying position
In the Middle East dermatology is still high in demand but I hear lots of dermatologists complain about patients being so hard to satisfy and always so demanding which make doctors stressed and overworked as well.
Not sure whether that influences derma lifestyle or not.. All specialities are far from perfect anyways. So, I still think derma is amazing job and the payment is great.
Isn't neurosurgery in the top 5 of the specialties with the highest salary? I was convinced that neurosurgery was one of the highest paying specialties🤔
The highest paid specialty as per bls
family medicine is probably my dreaam
At this point you should make a so you want to be a rhematologist, yeah? 👀
As much as I know it’ll be stressful I definitely want to be a gastroenterologist
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???
Happy to be Resident of General Surgery
If you love your job your burn out is part of the job but if you hate your job everyday will be the waste day and everyday will be a burn out for you
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.
Thank you!!!!!
Thanks for this video. can you please make a video on 'PH and Preventive Medicine' on So you want to be series?
Can you do so you want to be an optometrist
I have a question I like anesthesia but what’s the difference between anesthesia assistant and anesthesiologist how long does it take to become an (AA)?
I recommend viewers search Molemen Herbs on the UA-cam channel to learn their natural methods to heal and reverse different health conditions and ailments.
Figured Anesthesiologist would be higher up
Can somebody tell me the top 5? I am confused since there is a couple of lists
Hi! I wanted to ask, what made you choose to become a doctor over a PA or NP (or another kind of doctor like a vet or dentist)?
I didn't even know PAs or NPs existed when I applied to medical school. Even now, I would prefer to be a physician.
@@ReGenMed83 How? Did you not do research into healthcare because if not, that's not a very wise thing to do

@@daddy3484 this is school dependent. A majority of schools dont have mid levels part of the interview process.
im a first year premed student and i was wondering what should i do over winter break. any advice?
Volunteer work and shadowing
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

I wonder where palliative care lies on this list. It’s always left out of these surveys.

I want to become a dermatologist
what about radiology..
Im thinking about being a cardisurgeon
what about anestheologist how is their life
Neurosurgeon 🧠
How orthopaedics have the least burnout thats impossible
Obgyn?
I don't see dermatology anywhere I call fake 🧐
Please do “So You Want To Be a Travel Nurse”
He is a doctor, not a nurse. So his videos are more pertained to doctors or nurse practitioners
General surgery!!!!??? Yeah right that’s a fat lie. I know very few happy general surgeons.
really? 👀
That's people YOU KNOW. You don't know majority of general surgeons and thank god for that
what about gynecology ?
fr.
Is general surgery suitable for women? How are the hijabies girl do operations in the US?
😇
Oncology it is
If you're looking for positivity i have some for you.
