i know exactly who you are I am actually grateful for him that he is doing these kind videos, it really helps a lot of people that wants to pursue a speciality in med. I am just suggesting and i'm willing to wait if there's a video about it.
An Ophthalmologist is a medical doctor performing diagnostics of Infectious eye related diseases and performing surgeries. On the other hand, an optometrist (holds a Bsc Degree) focuses on Optics by prescribing glasses or contacts lenses for either myopia or hyperopia.
Guys, instead of complaining about him not doing anesthesiology or whatever, thank him for uploading this video. I’m sure anesthesiology will come up pretty soon.
Being an ophthalmologist is the best! What other field gives you instant gratification and the ability to improve someone's quality of life in a snap of a finger? Cataract surgery is super satisfying. If you avoid saturated areas like California, NYC, Boston, Philly, etc. you can do very well financially (even today).

Also I would add that I interviewed for general ophthalmology in MOSTLY large cities and had no issues finding opportunities with good salary: LA, NYC, DC etc. It just depends on the market at the time. There is high demand. Starting offers are lower, but after 1 to 2 years salaries can range from 370k to 700k depending on specialty. Lifestyle is great. There are lots of surgeries. Our waiting rooms are jam packed because let's face it vision is really important. I'm going into oculoplastics.
Hey Dr. Nate, as an incoming M1 what can I do in medical school specifically to make myself competitive for ophthalmology? Any research in particular? Thank you!
@@jordashw6541 it's surgical retina usually but it really depends. There are academic surgical retina guys making less than really busy general ophthalmologists in private practice. Further, to negate an opinion up top is that the number of cataracts is becoming less and less a medium for making money due to the dropping reimbursement rate. A lot of the money making comes down to what you will end up selling in the clinic, be it meibomography or premium iols

Hey everyone, I would love seeing other specialities as well, including anesthesiology. But let’s appreciate the videos he is making for us now. The videos are extremely informative and probably take a lot of time and effort to create. Thank you Dr. Jubbal for the videos!
I always loved ophthalmology and it is between the top 3 specialties that I want to get when I graduate. It feels like you can experience a lot of different medical approaches while being confined to a certain area of the body which is the most fascinating organ in my opinion plus most of the devices and operations used are science fiction and they are still evolving rapidly too. It has a relatively very good work-life balance and generally well paid.
@@coletyson5457 hey would you mind to explain the difference between plastic and Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon? I mean the difference in procedure they perform
@@cocosnucifera8557 In short, plastic surgeons can do all sorts of reconstruction and cosmetic procedures on all parts of the body, while Oral Maxillofacial Surgeons are specialists in these types of procedures in the oral/head and neck region. Oral Maxillofacial Surgeons also go to Dental school, which is why they more commonly perform oral surgeries like wisdom tooth extraction and dental implant placement.

I know that Ophthalmology and Optometry share many similarities, but could you create a, "So you want to be an Optometrist" or a "Day in the life as an Optometrist." -Thanks!
@@radmoonable well yah, but a sub-specialty is also a specialty. That and Doctors that practice Infectious Disease are called Infectious Disease specialists, not infectious disease sub-specialists. Also, there is a video on Cardiology which is also a subspecialty of Internal Medicine. Sooooo I think it was a fair question to ask. I was happy to see it mentioned in the Internal Medicine episode he did though.
Dr. Juball, great video, but from the previous comments I can conclude that the next videos should be as follows 1. Anesthesiologists 2. Radiologists 3. Pediatrician 4. Gastroenterologists 5. PM&R Thank you for uploading great videos.
I was lucky enough to shadow an ophthalmologist in high school. Saw nearly all of these procedures and surgeries over the course of multiple days. My favorite was a Pars Planar lensectomy/vitrectomy (correct me if I spelled that wrong). I also saw probably close to a hundred cataract surgeries and various stents put in for glaucoma. Seeing diabetes affect the eye was especially interesting. Learning about anti-VEGF and diabetic retinopathy was an eye-opener, pun intended. It was one of the experiences that really solidified my desire to pursue medical school. I am going into an accelerated medical program next year, not sure what I want to do yet but I’m excited to see what is out there!
Off topic, but here it goes anyway: Thank you so much, Med School Insiders! I have no intention of ever going to Med School, but you have helped me so much. I'm a sophomore in high school and we just got our end of the year grades. I've had a lot of problems with my health all my life and was behind at least 2 years in school. I was really sad and barely passed Freshman year, but I found your channel over the summer. I went from D’s last year to 4 A’s and a 2 high B’s this year. Not only have you saved my grades and taught me how to have some structure in my schedule, but you gave me hope and a way to overcome challenges in my life, even though I'm only in high school. I can't thank you enough for all you've done for me!
Great Video! Could you make a video about doctors who want to work in the USA? Im in Europe(Germany) and think about moving to the usa, I would like to know how difficult it is to get work there, the costs I am fancing and what most doctors do become when the go there? Like an overview about the matter to know if it is worth to go to the usa from europe or not. I would really appreciate it, I guess there are other doctors who have the same question. Thanks!

This is such an amazing video. This is the fourth time that I have come back to it because I am just so facinated and this vid is so well done. Tysm i think i found my specialty❤❤
I was born with near sightness and nystagmus, it was so bad that i wasnt reaching developmental milestones, that is until i went as a young todler to an opthomologist and got diognosed and got glasses and then began reaching milestones. So I thank Optho for that
I've had shitty vision all my life, I've spent many years in the optometry clinic, and I took a fascination towards it. The eye is a brilliant organ, and I would love to study it and be an ophthalmologist. Thing is, there's literally only ONE school in my entire country (Canada) that offers an optometry course, and it has a 2% acceptance rate, I've heard. 😐😐😐
Bro….the world is your oyster…you don’t have to bind yourself to Canada like that…pay out of pocket with a loan or a scholarship and study in Europe…it is much easier on the financial and acceptance rate side
I’m fascinated as to why so many people in the comments are so in love with anaesthesiology? Is there something extra special about that particular branch of medicine?
So glad to hear you will be covering scope of practice. Docs and patients are absolutely under attack from midlevel encroachment. I love NP,PA and OD’s, but legislation does not = Education. These national organizations have purely selfish interests that will hurt patients
I'm considering between ophthalmology, ENT and dermatology. Most folks who have these jobs seem be living a comfortable life. Dentistry was also a good option but I didn't end up going into the field. Let's see how my opinion changes over the years. I am still a 3rd year student after all.
Believe it or not, you would likely make more money in a dental specialty and enjoy a very nice life style with almost zero liability. And you would do a lot of good for many people.
Why don't you like the specialty? I'm curious because I am highly considering it and only have good things to say about it and another perspective may be nice!
@@upasnas3220 It's just preference. I cannot see myself as an opthalmologist, ENT, ect. On the other hand I absolutely love cardiology which you may not like. Although the lifestyle for a cardiologist is terrifying.
Optical* Coherence Tomography is truly cutting edge. It's even decently new to us in the bench science world, so the fact that an Optho can employ its use in practice shows how innovative the field is.
Hi, thanks for the video. I believe you may have misinterpreted the SF Match statistics. The 86-89% that you cited is NOT the match rate for US seniors. Rather that # represents the % of the incoming matched class that are US seniors. The match rates (matched applicants/match participants) was 75% for US allopathic seniors, 45% for US osteopathic seniors, and 29% for IMGs. The match rates for allopathic grads and osteopathic grads were 48% and 43%, respectively. The rates are even lower if you consider all match applicants (some applicants don't get any interviews so they can't be "participants"). The avg step score in recents years has been mid to high 240s and a high percent of matched applicants are AOA. It is a very competitive field overall. Thanks again for the informative video.
