Amazing Video Med School Insiders , Can you also make a video on "So you want to be an Oncologist" , "So you want to be a Hematologist", "So you want to be a HematoOncologist" . Looking forward to this
I love you MSI - am a podiatrist in 🇬🇧 UK and Although different you’ve done the profession proud in helping to reduce ignorance of what we do! Still needs a lot of work and in the UK there are similar debates - it would benefit from having longer deeper undergraduate training akin to medicine because of the complexity of the patients - keep spreading the world! Thank you
Always intriguing to learn how different podiatry is in other countries. We may definitely create a video about that soon! Thanks for appreciating the work! Dr. Jubbal produces only the best work!
I just cannot wait for FootDocDana to react on this video.I will probably be the first one to watch it. I just feel like this was made for her to react to it.😂😂😍😍
This is exactly why we created our RU-vid channel and Instagram and why we reached out to Dr. Jubbal to create this, so we appreciate that you shared that, Pia and Queen! It makes all the hard work worth it! If you want to learn a bit more about podiatry, visit our channel or Instagram. And feel free to reach out, because we're happy to answer any questions you may have!
VIDEO REQUEST! Med school as an older student! I’m getting ready to attend and I’ll most likely be 30 when I start med school. I want to go into anaesthesiology, I’ve also considered CRNA based one time reasons only because I’ll be way older once I’m actually in med school.
Im glad Dr. Jubaal makes these vids. I never even knew what a podiatrist or general surgeon or urologist were. Im glad these were under the spotlight to increase my span of knowledge
Hello! Ah, wonderful people like you are the exact reason we make the videos we do. Dr. Jubbal is kind and works hard to ensure important content reaches all of us! If you want to learn a bit more about podiatry, you can explore our channel or Instagram. And feel free to reach out, because we're happy to answer any questions you may have!
It's of utmost importance to note that only certain countries such as the US allow podiatrists to become surgeons. In countries other than the US, it's not allowed. Unfortunately for me, I only realised this after accepting my offer to study this discipline. I'd say that this is a rather limited field if you're not going to be able to carry out surgical procedures.
We actually discussed this with Dr. Jubbal, knowing that people often confuse podiatry as being uniform throughout the various nations. But yes, his channel is specifically for medicine in the U.S.A.
We do appreciate that you brought this up, however! People from other countries have contacted us previously, thinking we were sharing false information, because they didn't realize podiatry=DPM which is close to MD/DO in the US nowadays! Hopefully, people who watch this understand that this does not apply to every country.
I had no idea podiatrists weren't MDs, I always assumed they just used the specific name like OB/GYNs do. I have a new job coming up as an MA with a podiatrist which I originally planned to use to get into medical school but seeing how much the field offers, maybe I'll change my mind once I see how a day in the life of my new boss looks. Thank you for this video!
Agreed, interested to see what that video would say...especially with so much negativity online (and from close anecdotes) about the oversupply and oversaturation of the profession.
@@kevsonkeyboard also interesting to see what approach this channel takes to Pharmacy considering they’re American. America literature seems to consistently portray Pharmacy in a biased manner, reiterating the “big pharma” narrative. Here, in the UK, pharmacy is far more respected as the NHS is non-profitable, therefore the stigma of pharmacists pushing medication at patients for financial gain is reduced
@@vinniebisson969 the main problem I would like to see addressed and solutions proposed is the oversupply of pharmacists here in the US, with limited residencies/jobs currently available. With regards to "pushing meds", I usually hear the blame on specific physicians prescribing too much, with pharmacists trying to taper that down to avoid overmedication.
@@kevsonkeyboard it’s always intriguing to see the pathway to becoming a certain clinician in foreign medicine. The route to a UK pharmacist is far different to US, and following from your comment, the supply exceeds the demand; which is an interesting topic. I’ve noticed there’s many “don’t do pharmacy” videos on RU-vid, mainly posted from the US. Hence why a video made here would provide an insight into what factors may contribute to the US perspective on pharmacy
@@vinniebisson969 generally the blame is on how there are way too many pharmacy schools in the USA (128 if i recall correctly) pumping out too many grads. Most pharmacists get stuck in retail/community, which burns out a lot of people, who feel trapped due to their student loan debt. Not enough clinical/hospital/specialty pharmacy jobs available either.
Love your videos Dr. Jubbal! I know it’s not taught in medical school, but I would really love a video on “so you want to be an orthodontist.” Would be very interesting to watch.
@7:47 according to the US government, podiatrists are physicians. I'd argue theres an equal amount of social recognition (especially in the surgical field), status and compensation (for city settings). Idk, you may need to fix that bit there.
I had no idea that podiatry could do so many medical procedures in the US. In Brazil, podiatry is a course that you do for 1 year and a half and it’s not a graduation (that’s why you can’t do residency because it’s not a graduation), actually you only need to complete school to do this course. That’s why it’s very common to see 18-20 years old girls in this profession. But they don’t treat this amount of conditions that shows in the video. In Brazil, the condition that they treat the most is in grown toenails and some skin infections but they can’t prescribe medicines for the patients. Most of the things that a podiatry do in the US are done by orthopedic surgeon in Brazil, only them can do this kind of procedure. Another fun thing compared to Brazil, almost all of the people that do podiatry course are women, like I have never see a man doing podiatry, and Brazil have so many podiatry institutions. And other thing, podiatry doesn’t give you that kind of many in Brazil, actually the people that usually do podiatry are the people that don’t have conditions to pay for college and wants to have a faster study to go straight to job market so they can make money more faster. The monthly fee for podiatry course is 250 reais (48 US dollars) compared to medical school that is 8.000 reais (1600 US dollars), and that’s A LOT of money in Brazil.
If you have plans to work in US: you can take the Master of Research in Podiatry offered online by UJRC Spain(as additional qualification) since the US State of New Mexico have a new law allowing Podiatry graduates from Spain to work in that state. Even UK and its former colony countries allows Spain graduates to work there because their curriculum training surpasses the standards in UK.
It’s not always about the social status damn it! Disliked because you brought it up, my rule of thumb is that anyone who has been able to achieve the title of Dr is more than welcomed to use it! They earned it! And they all receive the same respect from me!
@@adamcabral9182 but i dont think him pointing it out is even correct. if you tell people you practice podiatric surgery i don't think people are going to think any less of you than most other allopathic medical specialties.
Here in New Zealand we train for 3 years and we don't do a lot of surgery - only under local anesthetic. It's a very satisfying job but someone's gotta tell you and most won't, by the end of the day you feel pretty grubby
Hello Dr. Jubbal! This is a great addition to the 'So You Want to Be..." Series. I was wondering if you could make a "So You Want to Be a Pharmacist" video. It would be greatly appreciated!
How about optometry, PT, chiropractors etc. It confuses me when these people call themselves Dr. ..., especially optometrists who are "eye doctors" yet isn't the only "real" eye doctor and ophthalmologist??
Optometrists have minor eye surgery privileges in some US States, that's why some who failed to enter Med School for Opthalmology route, instead went to Optometry school because of that minor eye surgery privileges. There's one optometry school who accepts a 2.25 GPA, I just forgot the name of it.
How does the course content and training of a graduate podiatry program in America compare to an undergraduate podiatry program in the UK and Australia?
Hey, Allen! We are pleased to see that you found this helpful! If you want to learn a bit more about podiatry, visit our channel or Instagram. And feel free to reach out, because we're happy to answer any questions you may have!
question - what's the difference between an orthopaedic surgeon specializing in foot/ankle and a podiatrist? I understand it is different training paths/degrees. Is it similar to an orthopaedic surgeon specializing in spine surgery in comparison to a neurosurgeon specializing in spine surgery - where the training is different paths more or less, but in the end, it's a similar scope of practice but the neurosurgeon leads the more complex/nuanced spine cases? so since orthopaedic surgery training is less focused on foot/ankle in the 5-year residency and more so if one subspecializes in it, versus podiatry training, where the whole education is focused on foot/ankle throughout. Because it's not really how you distinguish between the fields of optometry/ophthalmology, where there are procedural/medical management distinctions. also, I'm interested in this question. are interventional cardiac procedures reserved for interventional cardiologists, interventional neurology procedures for interventional neurologists? like, are there certain boundaries between interventional procedures in the fields of vascular surgery, cardiology, and neurology in comparison to interventional radiology? it's interesting because it seems there is overlap and there are similar conversations in consideration of the range of interventional procedures by distinct field and the other conversation in medicine of PA/NP v. MD/DO autonomy.
In regards to podiatry, orthos and pods do many of the same procedures regarding the bones, joints, and ligaments. Pods receive a lot of training in foot and ankle surgery (general ortho, vascular, and plastics, too). However, pods are trained to do wound care, plastic surgery, limb salvage, etc. Some pods also do orthoplastics and neuromicrosurgery on nerve. Orthos F/A can treat/operate on more than just the foot and ankle, while pods are exclusively limited to below the knee surgically in every state. However, in some states (such as California) pods can first assist (like PAs) in any surgery with a MD/DO surgeon. Pods also do medial treatment of conditions such as arthritis and dermatology that ortho typically doesn't do.
@@williamheinrich6374 that's interesting - so pods really know many different procedural skills from different fields, but focused on the foot/ankle. And ortho-foot/ankle is more-so familiar with the bone/ligament aspect of the field and have more general ortho surgical/management experience. So it's interesting how pods are first assists, as it seems in relation to more nuanced cases, they're more versatile in their scope of practice. But maybe the procedures where they first assist are elective in nature, so they evaluate or give their consult on the nuanced aspects besides the bone and ligaments, which ortho is likely well equipt to handle based on prior surgical training duration. So the cases may be given to ortho for more bread/butter bone/ligament cases, while pods work on the complex vascular, neurological, orthoplastics, etc. In this sense, the pods are like the neurosurgeons who specialize in spine surgery, where they take on the complex neurological cases and ortho spine surgeons are like the first assists. And ortho spine surgeons may focus more on the bone/cartilage cases.
@@davidlakhter yes, pretty much. Pods definitely do trauma, ligaments, fractures, joint reconstruction, etc. but orthos will predominantly just do that vs everything else pods can do. I would say they have much more of a handle on the neurovascular aspect of the foot and managing med/surgical cases of the F/A than ortho which is why they can do all F/A Ortho plus wounds and limb salvage.
@@davidlakhter pods rotate through a lot of medical specialties in residency- general surgery, vascular surgery, plastics, Ortho, some do neurosurgery. They also rotate through medical specialties such as emergency medicine, derm, neuro, infectious disease, anesthesia, psych, and sometimes PM&R and rheumatology.

"So you want to be an infectious disease doctor" "So you want to be a family medicine doctor" "So you want to be a pulmonologist" Some video ideas for ya
Thank you so much for this video! Loved it! I really appreciate all the time and effort you put into these :) Some suggestions: proctology, oncology, family medicine, electrophysiology, geriatrics, pain management, critical care, forensic pathology, etc. Thank you!!
@@MedSchoolInsiders Awesome! So excited to see family medicine! It is ironic because I am doing a FM project and these fabulous videos give me almost all the information I need! Thank you so much!
Please do a video comparing crnas to anaesthesiologists so more people are aware of who is delivering their care and their qualifications and experience
Hi dr jubbal ! love love love ur content💕💕💕 Its always packed full of info🙌Thankyou so much for your efforts Pretty Plz make one on interventional radiologist And one on dentists
When doing a procedure such as a leg amputation, what do the surgeons do with all the blood that was in the leg ? Do they just recycle it into the body ? I’m asking because my intuition tells me the less mass you have the less blood you have. Please explain this
Do not do this. Big mistake. It’s one thing if you really want to be a Podiatrist. Then go for it. but if you want to be a doctor, go to medical school. Make no mistake, you have the same amount of debt and work, with half,if your lucky, of the respect and a fraction of the opportunity of an MD/DO.
As an aspiring podiatrist I have no desire in being referred to as a physician. If I chose the podiatry route is because I want to be a podiatrist not a physician. And I’m not embarrassed on being referred to as podiatrist, on the contrary that’s a title that I will be very proud of. I don’t understand why some podiatrists want to be addressed as physicians.
Well considering the fact that in the United States (maybe its different from where you are from idk) podiatrists are considered physicians by the government, so I would assume that they would have the right to be called physicians. The other point is that podiatrists are required to do a 3 year surgical residency where they do a ton of foot and ankle surgeries like the video described above, which grants them the title of "surgeon." Hope that helps!
