Anyone can tell you a million things about what it means to go to medical school and pursue a career as a physician. But only you can decide if it is right for you. By using the tools in this video and gaining exposure, you will have a better idea if medicine is right for you.
It is crucial you understand the pros and cons of pursuing a career in medicine prior to committing to medical school. In this video I go over the ways to determine if a career as a doctor/physician is right for you.
I go over:
1. The path to becoming a doctor in the United States (medical school, residency, fellowship)
2. The financial repercussions of choosing a career in medicine
3. Deal breakers, including going into medicine for the money, hating school or learning, and not liking people
4. Qualities you SHOULD have, such as wanting to help people, being a leader of the healthcare team, desiring an intellectually challenging career, whether or not you like procedures, and the importance of hard work, discipline, and work ethic over intelligence.
5. The importance of shadowing and gaining exposure prior to medical school.

I want to say something as a former medical student. If you want to study medicine, and you are afraid of non being enough, or this video discourage you, do it. Medicine is hard, sure, and the video has some reason, but remember that everyone is different. Actually, the studying part is not that hard, I consider it hard on other things like the mental-health related stuff. When I entered MS I was not sure of my decision, I made it because I had to (nobody forced me but myself) and I felt very depressed because I felt I was doing something I didn't want to (I wanted Biology, no idea why I entered to MS). My depression lead to no motivation at all → no study → bad grades → no good results → more depression → wanting to drop out→ anxiety and depression... it was a cycle. That is the hardest thing in medicine: to keep you motivated. My friends that were convinced about their decision were doing pretty good, and that was even worse for me. When I entered, somebody told us "Never compare yourselves because you don't know what the other is going through" and I really tried to do it, but it's hard when you are the worse in the class. My school has a mental health department (apparently us MS, became mentally ill really frequently) and they helped me. Now I am sure about my decision, and I am on the top of my generation. Medicine is competitive but even when there is awful people, I met really nice ones that helped me out, and they sometimes had the same issues as me. Always be nice, if you need help (on anything) say it and if you see someone that need help, help him... isn't that the reason why a lot of people study medicine? Helping people? Why don't do it with your classmates? Some people will forget that, but be one that doesn't. And yes, now the girl that got 2.3 on her first biochemistry exam is teaching biochemistry. And so far I got 9.8/10 and hospitals fighting for me, because I find the motivation to go on. My point is: if you have motivation, don't let anyone take it away. Are you an intelligent person but not a hard worker? You can learn. You are not a natural leader? You can learn too, the career itself helps you, and it's more about team work. Etc. Medical school is for you if you want it, that's it. You can make anything, the biggest limits are on our own mind.

I'm only 15 but I already feel very pressured to figure out what I career I am going to pursue. I have already looked into different types of medical fields like orthopedic, sports med, radiologist, ultrasound technician, etc. Even though there are people who say I dont have to know what I want be right away, there are so many more people saying "it's better to know before you go to college" and it seems like they are really saying that I have to know what I want to be as of right now. Update: I ended up applying to be an ultrasound tech 2 years in a row and didn't get in both times. I decided to apply for an x ray technician and got in my first try! I'm finishing up my first year and really love it. It's hard but I like the medicine aspect if it, the patient aspect, the flexible schedule that I'll be able to have once I graduate, and of course the money isn't bad either. I hope to go further and become an MRI tech. Everything fell into place and I feel like I am exactly where I should be😁

@kennedyharris9590 6 лет назад

Hi Anna! Never feel pressured. If you know exactly what you want to do AWESOME! As for me, I was a musician. Double majored in my first year of college as a Trombone and Vocal performance major. I was on a $72,000 scholarship that I received annually and had it made. Though I LOVED music and was passionate and very good at it (as illustrated by the scholarship) I wanted more. I loved exercise and nutrition and being a personal trainer. I LOVE helping people any chance I get. So I took a leap of faith, transferred universities, and fell in to a dietetics program on no scholarship. I went through about 85% of my dietetics degree and was exposed to all aspects of the healthcare team. My professors shared their stories and taught us various procedures and treatments for multiple care unit fields.Our focus was long term treatment but I fell in love with the idea of being a leader of a healthcare team because I am all about showing people the utmost respect for their expertise and solving puzzles that are completely different day-to-day. The procedures fascinated me while everyone around me found them disgusting. It was then I decided I wanted to go to medical school. The immense interest and love for helping people was and is powerful to this day. I am 22 years old now and should have graduated this past May 2018. But I'll have another year to go before I can graduate and take the MCAT then apply. It's never too late. If you figure it out soon and continue with that vision then that's GREAT. If you, like me, figure it out later, don't worry about it! This is also GREAT! Focus on the pace that is best for you and you'll stumble on what you're passionate for in no time! :)

The medical profession, hospitals, pharmaceutical, and health insurance companies are one big united racket designed to milk patients dry of their money. As a result, many of us live long enough to have bottom of the heap in state board result RN,s and other borderline professionals and nurses aids call you "sweet heart" and "honey". Hospital administration people are only interested in Q.A. and their pay checks. I saw it all from 1978 until I retired in 2015, both as a professional, as a patient, and son. Get your heads out of the clouds physicians and use your magnificent brains to learn to cure what might be cured, not just to treat to line your and the hospitals pockets.

@dearmalaysia 6 лет назад

This video weighs really heavy on me, cuz unfortunately, medicine is the only field I have interest in. I LOVE biology, especially in humans. BUT, if I don't have people skills or leadership skills, what's gonna happen? I have absolutely no interest in engineering, law, business, accounting, etc. Medicine seems to be the only thing that fits with my character. I've only just started getting exposed to university life. They say it's SUPER competitive, but my problems are self-confidence and probably not enough hours dedicated to studying. They say it's hard and not worth it. And all this is just... gah. IDK. Update: I didn't get into med school but I did discover that I have an interest in neurosciences/psychology so that's what I'm studying at the moment. I don't know yet where that'll lead, but I'm hoping whatever it is, I'd be contributing to society. Thank you, reply section, for your kind words.

PLEASE REPLY!!!!!!! Med School Insiders, I really love your honesty, I'm going through the same thing, I'm constantly being nagged by my grandmother to be a doctor the only reason why she says this is because it makes a lot of money. Although the salary is pretty high, it just doesn't resonate with me, I don't feel any passion for it really... If I bring up any other profession, she will constantly explain how being a doctor would be better, I EVEN CONSIDERED BEING A LAWYER!!!!! I honestly feel very conflicted, not because of her, but because I don't know what to do, I love music but it has such a MASSIVE stigma around it, I wish it wasn't such a scary profession. I was considering majoring in pediatrics and minoring in music, but that major takes alot of grit and grind, I'm not lazy, but will feel like a strain. Can you give me some suggestions?

@amberpark9856 7 лет назад

I love medicine because it is both innovative and an ever-changing field. I am heavily interested in doing surgery (i.e. neurosurgery) because although I love working with my hands and being in an OR setting, I have also gained some research experience during college which has shown me that this can be applied to "real-life" situations. Without having a good understanding of the nervous system, neurosurgeons would not be able to perform their jobs. Medicine is about more than acquiring knowledge but being able to create new and/or better treatments for everyone.

@amberpark9856 7 лет назад

@amberpark @medschoolinsidersI love neurosurgery as well, I am currently a premed here in orlando Florida, and i have an extensive history of having a arachnoid cyst in my front left temporal lobe about when I was 10. When I was 17 i had another surgery for a chiari malformation in my neck. My personal neurosurgeon has been with me since day one and after hearing that i will graduate top 5% and other things knew I might be able to handle a life in medicine (BC after knowing me for several years he said he knew that i would hate becoming a engineer.) So he wanted to push me into medicine. And he wanted me to shadow him for the summer coming up. Me not really knowing at the time how big this was i took it. I spent about 2 1/2 months with him seeing absolutely everything i could want. I got to ask all the hard questions of being a surgeon, what it was like for him, his family, and other things. I fell in love. He explained to me as he did the surgeries. He let me speak with kids in the office and round in the hospital with him. I got to connect with the kids on so many levels because i went thru the same thing that they were going through. At the end of it he told me he really wants me to succeed and will do all he can to help me go there. He said that i have something that he will never have and it is the experience of going through what he does every single day. He said hell give me a letter, his PA's said if i need one they will too. I made some many good connections in the hospital that i had my life changed in.

I already like helping people and do a lot of community service, have all A's and love learning. and the whole career is based off learning your whole life and I love that. also I'd love to inspire others kids like me, rather to go in to med school, or look on the brighter side of live and do what interests them.

I was minoring in psychology and ended up switching my major to psychology and adding a double in poli sci with a minor in Spanish. Didn’t end up liking poli sci, so I switched my double for Spanish. So many switches right? Lol I tell you all of this just because it’s absolutely okay to not know exactly what you want within your first two years of college; that’s the perfect time to explore around with your electives. You might take an intro to psych and an intro to bio and decide you like one better, or both. I would try the med track first because that one is very easy early on to decide if you like or not since it’ll be the same dry science throughout. I also recommend speaking to an advisor and seeking out professionals in your field of interest to help you see what the career is really like and also help decide if that’s what you want to do.

Only thing I need to get better at solving complex problems as I usually see things in black and white and the greys in-between if that makes sense.

Jay, thank you so much for this video. I've been asking myself if I truly want to be a doctor. The answer is yes. One of the many reasons is that I love LOVE learning. However, I dislike exams. I'm awful at them. A reason may be that I don't prepare enough for the exams. Do you think this should stop me from being a doctor? Do you have any advice? I'm frustrated. I find it hard to change my study habits and I don't know how "prepared" is "prepared" if you know what I mean. Also, I love how medicine has so many specialties that require doctors of different personalities!

And now I’m studying abroad in medschool and I feel so depressed. I can’t cope with the subjects and wanted to stop my studies.

You need to stand firm in what you want and do not want to do. No one will be living your life, only you and you will have to be able to live with your choices. If you do not feel like you want to pursue med, and that you do not have strong desire for it, other than pressure from family, then you will never be happy. You cant live constantly trying to impress someone. Just this past year I decided to no longer pursue med school as it is more of a desire from family/social pressure rather than my own. I decided that I will not voluntary put myself through hell and force myself to like it just to satisfy other people's expectations. This is a very very stressful and busy life style and if you dont want that, then you need to save yourself before it drags you into a depression and resentment. if at the end of the day your parents still dont want the best for you (to be happy), then you need to become your own boss and do what is right for you and not others. Best of Luck and stay strong!

I realize that medicine is not the right job for me, I'm not the kind of student who would like to study very very hard (because I stress out so easily) and I don't like the idea of a very long path for a career. I enjoy to learn about scince and watch the surgery videos, I like to see that kind of things and I don't see blood and organs like a gross thing. But my main reason to study medicine was the salary. I love art, I can't imagen myself without doing it, like if I wouldn't be me without art in my life. I also love the people who have the same passion as me, I really enjoy that community. But everybody says that being an artist or a graphic designer is not a good idea, that you'll starving, you'll be poor, economic problems, etc. So I decided medicine because the idea of being a surgeon is...well, I sort of like it, the problem is that the process is not something that I would be very excited about. I really don't know what to do now, what should I choose :/

@fs7249 5 лет назад

I can honestly say that I can relate to this on a very high scale. But as the popular saying goes, art and science are concepts that are in complete opposition to each other. They aren’t the same due to the fact that science tends to be based on more logical aspects whereas art is more unorthodox and unconventional. It would be difficult to study medicine if you are passionate about art. I think you should do what you enjoy regardless of the salary -but be the best at it. You’d rather be happy in doing your job than waking up everyday with regrets.

@Bee-bt3se 4 года назад

I know this was from a long time ago, but if you’re still deciding you should look into Medical illustration! It basically combines art with science. It’s not the highest salary but it’s from $60k - $100k and if it’s something you like that’ll make it a lot more enjoyable!

That is why I want to be a doctor cause i have a lot of questions in my mind, in addition I don't want someone to feel the pain that i felt when we have been discriminated by some doctors because of our nationality. But my most or main reason is I want to help a lot of patient cause it tears my heart when i see someone who die even its illness can be cured,but can't because of they don't have money to pay medical bills. I don't ambission or think that I want to help all poor sick people but i wan't to help as many patients that i can help.

I think being a doctor is a great career for me, but I'm worried about the lack of resources on Canadian medical training.

It sounds so strange to me that you must complete 4 years of _college_ for medical school, because in Canada college is like the lower education and we call what America calls "college" "university", and there's a huge difference between college and university here.

Im scared that if I choose this career, I'd be a full on workaholic and not have time for anything else. I'll be studying from the rest of my 20's and once I become a doctor, Id be working long hours for days. Im confused if this is what I really want... any advice?

I did shadow a physician(GI) once and told me that he wishes he had more time to spend w/ his wife and 2 kids since he's barely home and if he was ever home he usually sleep in.

I mean now just thinking about the amount of studying that I have to do and the time sacrifice I have to make is already making me feel miserable. I'm just scared that If I did take this path, I might regret it later. Is this a red flag for someone considering a med career? And how do you know if you really "love" a career or just the "thought of it".

Do this in college particularly-med schools aren't going to look at what you did in high school. Get 3.7 GPA & up in college so try to take a lot of courses in hs that will perhaps make college classes easier to do well in(like calculus in high school will help you in calculus in college & then that will reflect in general physics).

He is actually great in healing one person's illness and that is why I loved in touched to do on Medicine. 😊

I find sooooo much satisfaction by working with my hands. I could work with my hands all night

I don't want to help others, I do everything for myself including being a physician.

I want to be a gynecologist for the main reason that being their during and after the birth of a baby seeing the joy it brings on a persons face is absolutely joy and honestly is a pay for me.

When I was younger, I had an undiagnosed milk allergy and spent a lot of time in various hospitals for appointments and as an emergency inpatient. During my time in the medical environment, I fell in love with the atmosphere and became captivated by the work the doctors and surgeons were doing. Now I don't have to go to hospital at all as my allergy is suitably dealt with, I am adamant that medicine is what captivates me and what drives me. Luckily, my aunt is a theatre nurse and she has arranged that I can shadow the surgeons in theatre soon after my 18th birthday; I can't wait.

What specialty did you settle into?

@FormatorBlack 7 лет назад

Good for you,,,I dreamed of med school at one time, but life got in the way plus other things. I did find a job I love, so I did okay anyway, but it is a noble calling-I've worked on the fringes of the medical field, so I know how demanding it can be, so I am satisfied it wasn't meant to be!

I love medicine because it fascinates. It just amazes me to think I can help people who don’t know the intricacies of their body but I can provide this knowledge this help in a variety of ways because I want to be a GP. Also beyond the fact that I am just drawn to this profession being a black female doctor helps more than me it helps my community.

Thank you for the information. Could you maybe tell me how you were in high school ? Did the grades matter a lot? Did you have to take all of the sciences and get top marks?

how exactly do you shadow someone?

@stephanieeyedoc6434 6 лет назад

Contact your pre med undergrad advisor, family friend, ask around, call the hospital and ask, etc!

@da14a49 5 лет назад

You try to stay in their shadow for one day/week as long as possible. The longer you do it, the more valuable the experience!

I am only 14 and here I am watching this video because of all the medical series, also medical dramas that I've been watching everyday and I just realized that it is really very hard being a doctor but if you really want to become a doctor someday, then you must have patience and also hardwork for that.

I find medicine so intriguing because of it's wide variety, medicine works not only on a practice level but also on a research level, where for instance if I were to be a pediatric neurosurgeon and I wanted to find out what's the leading neurological cause to Autism I would not only have to interact with patients on a surgical level, but I would also have to conduct research and actually learn and expand current knowledge. I am currently a sophomore in college and I am currently doing research for the virus Trichomonas Vaginalis, and it's just been so eye opening, because all my life here I was thinking doctors didn't at all conduct outside research I thought it was more of a strictly practice type of field, but after being exposed to research I have not only gained a love for it, but I have furthered gained a love and deep passion for becoming a doctor.
