This gives me chills it's so moving knowing you guys worked soooooo hard to be doctors and you deserve so much respect for your sacrifices. Truly humbles me as a big fan of all doctors and nurses, etc. Thank you very much for being so selfless!!!!
In Europe, where i am from (Norway), we have this system. - 6 year M.D - specialisation (2 - 5 years, depending on what you want to do) Then you get authorised with a license. Congrats you're a doctor
I Europe its usually 6 years after High school. In the US you need a 4 year bachelor's degree before medical school. That is 4+4 years, then you go into residency.
It's amazing how much classroom work they cram into the first two years, and how much practice/additional-coursework they cram into the following years. It makes my entire BScN nursing program look easy by comparison.
In the Philippines - 4 year pre-med course - 4 year medical school then you get your MD degree so you’re called a doctor but without a license yet - 1 year post-graduate internship - Physician Licensure Exam. Once you pass, you can now practice as a General Practitioner - After you get your license, you get 2-3 years residency - 2-3 years of fellowship and subspecialty - then congrats, you are a doctor
But the salary is also much lower.. I'm a software engineer with a masters degree and 8 years experience and I make 130k a year... a physicians starting salary is way higher
19, mexican med student, second semester; it would mean the world to me if you could do a video on how to become a licensed doctor in the U.S. (for us who are from other countries); really great content, thanks for everything!
Med School Insiders no laws against working for 24 hrs straight? Wouldn't you get tired? Tired doctors make mistakes. It seems like a stupid idea to keep doctors in training to work such long shifts. Lives are at stake, you should have active and fresh minds.
For an upcoming video, could you please go over different types of doctors (I know there are way too many to say each one but just general categories) and what you should major in to get the specific job as a doctor you want? Thanks so much, love your videos!
Med School Insiders in 2:55 - So does that mean that orthopedics is one of the hardest fields to specialize in? Because (although I’m not even in collage) I was looking to maybe specialize in orthopedics one day but I don’t exactly know if I have what it takes. I’m not saying I’m not willing to work for it, I was just wondering.
In Turkey, we have this system. - 6 year M.D - specialisation (3 - 5 years, depending on what you want to do) And example of Plastic Surgery first year residency: -15 night shifts (start) 08.00-17.00---nightshit---08.00-17.00 (finish) next morning 08.00 start again For me: It is not humanistic!
Hello doctor Can you please make a video on explaining the residency opportunities for foreigners in US and also the procedures to get into residency in US..
Love your videos, one of the reasons I feel like I got into medical school! Was hoping one of your videos can be centered around how to find good mentors, and maybe maintaining relationships (romantic, plantonic, and professional) through the process
18 years old and starting pre-med this fall! I'm so excited and your videos only motivate me to be even more excited! I know I don't really need to have my mind set on any specialty yet, but do you have any recommendations as to when I should start narrowing that down? I've been interested in orthopedic surgery for quite some time, but regardless of that, I know for sure that I want to go into surgery.
Not even in college yet, but from what I saw in the video, by Step 1 you have a good idea about lots of things in the human body, and should know your interests. By Step 2, you know more about what the jobs look like for the specialties due to rotations. So I’d say you can dream about your specialty now, begin to narrow it down before Step 1’s stress route. And really sharpen your decision throughout rotations. That’s what I’m thinking.
@@Discipleofthelordandjesus I have since graduated with a degree in biochemistry (3.9 GPA, summa cum laude) and am prepping to take the MCAT in about a month. I have a draft of my personal statement, 15 experiences, and letters of recommendation secured for when I apply next June. Over 1600 medical experience hours. All that to say, I'd say it's doing pretty well so far!
$190,000 is ridiculous to become a doctor. There needs to be significant support for our next gen doctors. Subsidise these fees immediately. Your grades and performance should be the judgement, not being punished by $$$ debt...
Could I get a bachelors in medicine in Ireland then do a residency in the US? I don’t think I want to train here in Ireland unless I would be able to work abroad too.
for me it was 6 years that allow you to work as what in the us would be a family physician, then if you specialize it's from 4 to 6 years depending on the program, after that you can further specialize and that's around 2 to 3 years according supra specialty. Salaries are decent once you finish your residency but nowhere as good as in the us, work hours are similar.
You motivated me too go to school and become a doctor, but I jut don’t know how I’m going to afford all of this I never made close to 190,000 in my life. Your monthly payments are probably excessive
I have a question: if you're in residency then can you get out of work for religious reasons? What if your religion forbids you from working Saturdays?
I think it doesn't matter, well, in my country, you still have to go to work, they will say things like "but it's not like diseases rest on saturdays, you need to come"
If you have all those restrictions and you are living in the United States, more likely than not you need to go to Touro for medical school and live in either New York, New Jersey, and possibly the Los Angeles area for residency.
Currently a rising MS3 and very few people in my class are seeking a 5th year option, so I'm unfamiliar with what options are available. I was curious if you could make a new video or outline some 5th year options that are popular or some of the common ones that are pursued to your knowledge. Thanks!
Do you have any advises on how to find the best speciality for oneself? I'm only in college now, but I'm interested in so many different (sub-)specialities like Surgery (Ortho-, Neuro-, Trauma-), EM and IM. I'm worrying that I can't decide once the time comes in M4.
I'll just ask, do you have to have (sorry for my english) a speciakty after residency before you can like, have your own clinic at a hospital?also, what happens after residency?can you stay at the hospital and work? Whats the best career path to take?
I feel kind of dumb for having to ask this, but as a resident, do you have to sleep/live in the hospital? Movies and TV make it residency look almost like a colleges, and I feel like that may be somewhat inaccurate.
To get into med school what would you recommend being the best major because I was thinking about biology since they do not have pre med at the university I am attending.
This is a year old but maybe it will help. You can do any major, just take into consideration that if you were to do biology then you knock out most of the required prerequisites while if you did something like psychology you would have to take the extra prerequisite classes.
hi' I thought your video was great. l have a question, to become a pediatrician how much would it be for the average cost for the residency program after med school to fully become a pediatrician.
If you're asking whether you'd be paid in residency, then the answer is 'yes'. You're already working in a job, but the salary isn't as high as the salary of a specialist of course. Residents in most specialties (in the US) get paid between 50K to 70K annually (on average) and specialist doctors are getting paid 294K annually on average. It varies but I hope that you got my point and that it helped.
I want to be a cosmetic plastic surgeon! Im 19 and still taking prerequisites for nursing (idk if i still want to do that). People say the nursing background will help, but I know that the program doesn't contain all the pre reqs. necessary for medical school. Now I am not sure what I want to major in... I need advice!! I'm a phlebotomist so I have very little medical background but I want experience that will impress the medical schools I apply to.
Jazzmine Rios usually science degrees help so when you go to med school you’ll know most of the stuff like biology degree and then in med school there’s biochemistry
Yep, age doesn't matter. (I started med school when i was 16 years old, in my country we dont have to go to college to get into med school.... still, it's really hard to get in)
In desperate need of help. I’m a US citizen and finished Med school in Mexico. I have passed all 3 steps of USMLE but had to retest part 2 Trying for residency last 3 years with this last attempt after step 3 Interested in Pediatric or Family Medicine. Very few interviews Can you help. I want to practice in an underserved area Help What to do
My man, don't ask how high your grades should be. Strive for the highest you can achieve. Your grades should be good enough to get into an undergraduate program, like a BA in biology or nursing at a reputable college or university. Don't stress too much now. But develop good habits. Like figuring out how you study/learn best. Best of luck my dude.
Medical school won't look at high School grades. They'll care more about college. Consider doing volunteer work, being an active member of your community and getting into college for now.
I may sound like captain obvious, but it depends which country and state/province you live in. In Canada, Ophthalmologists are the highest paid physicians, so it's comparatively more competitive to get into a residency.
