@@alvingil9654 It may very for each program, but in my program we took turns leading morning reports. We were able to choose a topic and teach it to our attending physicians and our fellow residents. It was a half an hour teaching and usually included a PowerPoint presentation.

can you make a video on fellowship options for family medicine

@DraMariaPaulaMarquesFernandes 3 года назад

Great video! I live in Brazil and I’m last year of the graduation. I will do residence in family medicine here , in Brazil. But I would like to know if there is fellowship in family medicine. Do you know?

@dr.lindsaymarie 3 года назад

Thank you! Family Medicine residency is a 3 year program in the US and there is a one year fellowship in certain areas if you choose to do more training afterwards. Examples include OB, Pain Management, Sports Medicine, Geriatrics, or Integrative Medicine. I talked a little bit more about each of these at the end of this video. :) I am not sure if the training is different in Brazil though.

@v_ronyca3244 3 года назад

I am surprised about the surgery rotation. I didn’t know that family medicine doctors would actually perform surgery aside from draining abscesses. I thought they would just need to know pre and post-op care. Could you please explain more about this?

@dr.lindsaymarie 3 года назад

You are correct in that family medicine doctors don’t typically perform surgery outside of residency. However in some very rule settings or even in some military careers some family practice doctors may be able to do surgery if trained. Those who go on to do OB also do surgery (C-sections). I think the rotations in residency are so that we are well rounded in knowing all aspects of taking care of surgery patients. Each residency may be different too. In the hospital I trained in there were only surgery residents and family medicine residents and we worked alongside each other often.

@ziggymoon 3 года назад

Sorry, sort of confused by your statement regarding GP's, are you saying a GP does NOT have a Residency requirement? If not, are they allowed to practice once completing med school and obtaining their license? Anyway, I'm an older RN (55+), besides doing something like a NP program... whats the quickest option, in total years, to ones own practice (ie. BS to Licensed & Practicing MD) - and remember, we're talking older dude, not an over-achiever, lol.

@dr.lindsaymarie 3 года назад

A GP who completes 4 years of college and 4 years of medical school without a residency is not board certified. Now a days without board certification job opportunities are very limited as most hospital or clinic employers require board certification. If you want to own your own practice there are three main options. MD/DO, PA, or NP. For you I would suggest looking more in depth into both the PA versus NP options and see if either of those would be a fit for you. Good luck!

@saadharoonraja1342 3 года назад

So one can become a consultant after doing 3 years of residency in family medicine?

@dr.lindsaymarie 3 года назад

Hi, in the United States family medicine is considered a specialty of its own but encompasses a wide variety of medicine. It is a 3 year program after 4 years of medical school and 4 years of college.

@@dr.lindsaymarie You're very welcome Doctor. Interestingly enough I was able to appreciate the demands of your particular specialty through Dr. Glaucomflecken's humorous videos on YT, which even as a layman I found both hilarious and educational. My doctor friend (infectious control) loves his spoofs!

@huseinabdulraheem4285 2 года назад

So you work 80 hours a week during all the residency program? How are the hours distributed? Do you work on the weekend?

@dr.lindsaymarie 2 года назад

In my particular program it was up to 70 to 80 hours a week on the heavy rotations. Yes there were weekends. There were also night shifts and 30 hour calls. On some of the lighter rotations it was more like 40 or 50 hours per week.

@dr.lindsaymarie 3 года назад

@@v_ronyca3244 Great idea. I do plan to make a video about this. The short answer is make a list of the things that are important to you in your residency. This can be anything from city location, rotation schedule, benefits offered, patient volume, types of electives offered etc. Then after your interview and after you get a good feel of what the program is like, it’s best to go with your gut :) hope this helps! Good luck in your process.
