Dr Glauc pushing at his own face with his own hand all the while recording the video with his other hand and still managing to give the best comical performance possible is PURE GOLD ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
The Match algorithm is based off of a publicly known algorithm for a similar problem. A man in 2015 made his own version of the Match algorithm and simulated the entire 2014 Match process. His algorithm took approximately 17 seconds to match over 37,500 medical students to residency.
@@manaspradhan8041 17 seconds doesn't sound bad... There are a lot of conditions it has to check. I'm no doctor, but I do code. It would have to lookup doctor's speciality, search for a hospital with the speciality, fill that slot with a person. When multiple could match for the same slot, I think some would probably be given priority over others. Probably a few more factors to take into account so 17 seconds for 37.5k students allotment doesn't sound too long. 2 weeks might be the beauracracy catching up perhaps
Actually it's been "somewhat" publicly known that the match itself takes less than a few min for the code to run, but the rest of 2 weeks involves a lot of manual communication between the match and the programs to verify there's no mistake being made (such as accidentally not have enough people or not having enough spots for new residents, and accreditation, and what not). So it's not the "match" itself that takes 2 weeks, it is the verification with all programs in the country.
I can only imagine what your wife and kids must think when they see you doing these skits. Kids: “Mom dads hitting himself in the face.” Mom: “ Look the other way.” 🤣🤣🤣
I just imagine him saying: "No honey, it's okay! Daddy's not hurting himself. He's playing 'Pretend" like you do." He does have a family, and I'm sure he has had that conversation a couple of times.
Hey Dr. Glauc, kinda random but wanted to tell you about this. I've seen my general doctor weekly for the past year + a half due to struggles in the mental health system & needing a weekly support in which I'm very grateful to have a doctor who cares enough to deal with me so often. We tend to spend most of these appointments rambling on about random things we both find interesting, and we happen to both be regular watchers of your content (as well as other medicine comedians, but you're the fav) so we talk about you quite often! Living in a small city in Australia, it surprises but joys me that so many medical practitioners that I've met watch your content as well as just random people - I think it's amazing that medical knowledge from a good source is being spread to so many people in a lighthearted way. You are one of the reasons I've gained an interest in medicine that may lead to me doing it in the future which gives me a little hope in myself to stay alive 💗
As a current MS 2…just think about it a lot. It’s really, really difficult. Like, insanely difficult. It takes a toll on your body and mind. A lot of us have gotten sick from the stress. I’ve developed GERD and eczema, as well as mental health exacerbations, and now I have to deal with a spine problem too. Not to crush your dreams, but to be realistic. No one told me the truth about how hard it is.
I'm a general practitioner and I love it...but can also see huge value in many other medical careers that might take less of a toll in training: nursing, physician assistant, respiratory therapist, occupational therapist, etc. If these delightful videos have helped you to an interest in medicine, I would suggest you explore all of the options before you decided. And if you settle on medical school, pursue it, and don't leave your humanity behind.
As another MS2, it's nice to see someone who wants to pursue a career in the medical field in part due to content we all enjoy. I'm sure you'll find which part of the medical field you belong and thrive in. Wishing you all the best!
@@PhoenixRoseYT I definitely am aware of how difficult it is! I didn't clarify but meant that Glauc + seeing passionate people in the medical field has helped me gain an interest (spending a large amount of time in hospitals for health reasons, I've learnt I'm fascinated by how things work, as well as being heart-warmed seeing other patients go from 0% to 100%) - I personally lean an interest more to pathology, or just working in mental health while learning as much about medicine as possible on the side!
@@hutchio I wish you happiness, wellness, and success. You can feed your curiosity, use your talents, and do enormous good. Just be careful to honor your own self and needs.
I just have to say, he's so good at playing different characters that sometimes it seems like he's actually talking to different people, lol. Does anyone else feel that way, too?
I’m am almost certain standardized testing scores are delayed intentionally. MCAT scores are delayed for like 4-8 weeks whereas DAT scores (the dental equivalent) arrive instantly. It’s all automated, they could at least give us the raw numerical score. The reason they don’t is that medical students generally apply to a larger amount of schools while they are unsure what their scores will be, and pay significantly more money to do so. Hmm it almost makes me wonder if it’s same company that is in charge of both the MCAT and the primary applications for medical school? 🤔 Certainly they wouldn’t dare to have a financial conflict of interest, wouldn’t they? 😂
@@nickkress3781 You made a good point. They are quite interested into making as much money as possible while enforcing the required tolerance to the sadism you will suffer in med school, your residency, and later on. And yeah, there are no conflict of interest when all they care about is money LOL
Omg I finished certifying my rank list 2 days ago and waiting for the results (comes in 2 weeks) is agony!!! Press that button already lol (update: I matched to the combined program of internal medicine and pediatrics [Med-Peds] in California!!!!!)
@@elizabethdiaz5475 4th year med students interview at each institution they'd like to train at, there is some selection here as you don't get an interview everywhere you list. The institutions are trying to woo the top students during this time. The actual rank matching algorithm gives preference to the future residents. If you rank Cleveland Clinic 1st but they only rank you 40th the 39 people ahead of you have to match before you can match there. But let's say your second choice Mayo Clinic ranked you 1st. If you miss matching at the Cleveland clinic you end up at Mayo. If you do match at Cleveland clinic you go and Mayo moves down it's list. It can happen that an institution exhausts it's list of applicants and has empty slots. If someone doesn't match then there is a scramble for those slots. But people are pretty demoralized by that.
@@yonpark6245 am in pharmacy and our rank lists are due tonight, with results being sent on the 16th. I want push that big red button,my anxiety is through the roof. Good luck to you. ☺️☺️☺️☺️🙏🙏
Jajajajajaja Hahaha ! You are genius ! I love it ! Thank you for the laugh. Yes I remember those days. ER doc here, yesterday I was talking to medical students about their rank list haha. Exciting times for them. If you are reading this and you are waiting to match I wish you all the best !!!!!
I LOVE THESE!! I’ve bee in practice for 27 years this August and I really enjoy the looks at specialties, you have gifts beyond Medicine , keep it up and Thank You!!
We're 2 days away from match day on the vet side but its very much the same since institutions finalized their lists 10 days ago... I'm screaming internally.
wait but don’t they have to rank the ones they want to go into at the highest on the list and the ones they are less interested in at the bottom and match them cuz if everyone gets what they want there would be certain specialties with lesser doctors since their less popular ?
There are waaaaaaaaay more applicants per position than people think (there are so many international students) and quite a few very unlucky US students don't even match. This is a way of aligning the student's wishes with a program's. If the med school's advisors are doing their jobs, then most of their students will match top 5, like my own school's. Two were unmatched, but they were def bottom of the barrel.
Hello! I discovered you through recommendations earlier today and binged your whole channel and subscribed. I used to want to be a doctor of some sort, although now I’m more interested in biomedical science. I have to say though, your videos have really been making me want to change my path again 😂 Thanks for another great video!
I'm still a few years away from applying for med school, but I'm grateful for these insights into what to expect! Even if it's not always, ah, the most encouraging material 😂
Two weeks to run an algorithm like that is actually pretty fast. Imagine how angry everyone would be if they issued the results and then found an error. No system is completely bug free, so you really do have to check the results. You also need to check the data going in, since it is never as good quality as it should be.
Can you put up a room cam so we can see what it looks like behind the scenes when you do things like fight yourself? I think the Flock would love it. BAGAAK
I was in the Match the last year in which you could go outside the Match. One of my two favorite programs called me and asked if I’d go outside the Match with them. I said, “Done!” Please send me a written letter of offer and hire me. I will drop out of Match.” I even got to start early!
Reminds me of processing DITY (do it yourself) moves in the Air Force. They’d submit their paperwork and then I had to sit with it in my inbox, actual paperwork, for 9 business days, before I could do my part to process it. Then I had to give it to my NCO who had to sit on it for 2 full weeks before he could touch it. All said and done, from the time the paperwork was submitted to the TMO office until the time you got paid for it, it could be 2-3 months.
In the Boss's defense, this is not a good time to tell people to just press any big red buttons lying around... Also the way he says "No!" like a spoiled 5-year-old is just too good.
just met a med student when I was seeing my new endocrinologist for trans related hormones- she was great! So was the doctor. Makes me happy to know after years of searching that there's awesome, competent people in the field.
Omg this one is hilarious!! I'm glad my husband got matched early so I don't have to get so anxious anymore 😆 well, I'm getting anxiety for other reasons, but still 😅
I had a student once… she asked me why I locked all the upcoming assignments… (so she didn’t finish them in a week), I still tease her about it 6 years later! LOLOL
Not a doctor, but getting paired with a teacher for student teaching took a whole summer because there was a new principal coming in to the school I wanted to be placed at the most. I understand the pain. (And, yes, I did get into my preferred school and preferred grade level!)
I can relate to that, PLAB 1 results take 6 weeks to be announced despite they are only MCQs and they are computer based marked. This puts examinees on their nerves for long period. Lots of cortisol
I feel like that . . . waiting since November for authorization for off-label use of a medication that is commonly prescribed for that off-label use. Unnecessary suffering. Untold frustration. Horrible burden on PCP, nurse, clinic pharmacist, me. Insurance, Medicare, and Pharmacy Benefits Manager need to get it together. Just grateful to have a little feeling left for those poor med students waiting for their matches! Inhumane!
I love that he’s fighting with himself 😂😂😂 Also I have a PhD but not in medicine… would love to get out of debt by 55 but that will most likely NEVER happen for me!
I believe the waiting is for something called the scramble. Students who didn’t match into residency have the option to try and fill in any remaining open slots in other programs that weren’t filled. This happens before the match is revealed so that people don’t have to know you didn’t match if you don’t want them to.
The dawning realization that I’ll be in my 40s before I’m truly a Doctor is a terrifying reality. Marriage? Family? Can’t begin to start that for a minimum of 14 years. Can’t make all of these very financially dependent decisions until my career is in order. Hooo boy. Tis the life of a disabled/chronically ill, aspiring pre-med I suppose.
