Anyone else paused the video at 0.27 to see all the different specialties? Loool never even heard of many of them. Jamie, video suggestion: uncommon specialties in medicine. Thanks for all your amazing videos
I’m in high school currently, and I’m going into the medicine field! This video helped me a lot on trying to figure out what type of doctor I want to be in the future , thank you!
Awesome!!! i'm a med student too but in Brazil, it surprises me how different the path to becoming a physician in both counties is! Here, after high school, we get right into med school for 6 year, which the last 2 of them is called internship, where we switch from one to another of the 5 big specialties (surgery, OB-Gyn, Pediatrics, family/community medicine and internal medicine). After graduation, we can apply to residency, so usually there are direct access specialities like general surgery, neurosurgery, neurology, pediatrics, etc (2 to 5 years) and indirect access specialities, for exemple, general surgery is required to apply to cardiothoracic surgery (3 extra years) or pediatric surgery (2+). By the way, i intent to apply to general surgery residency, but i'm still a third year med student, got a lot of time to decide lol. Congrats Jamie, your content is great!
Wow! Its crazy how you proceed into med school after high school. Here in Philippines we still need to finish any undergraduate courses related to medicine before going to med school. So its 8 years in total T.T internship is not yet included.
I wish we had more exposure to a lot more specialties in med school. There’s so many good ones out there imo that aren’t part of the several big ones. Nice overview!
That is so usefull! In my country we do not have paramedics. But nevertheless our healthcare system is crap,the only good thing is we don't have to directly pay our doctors for their service.
Your smile after saying emergency medicine just made my day. It’s what I am looking forward to as well, and I’m so happy to see someone who is devoted to helping those having their worst day. ✌️
i’ve been wanting to become a doctor ever since preschool! i’m in 9th grade of high school and still do! thing is i don’t know what doctor. so this was very helpful! thanks! 💓
This was a great breakdown!! Especially getting to see what you can specialize in after your residency. For programs like emergency medicine, does it just depend on the program for the length?(3 vs 4) years?
I'm in my final year of Pediatric Residency (wish me luck!) and I always use the same words you used in describing Pediatrics; its internal medicine for infants and children 😂 Anyone wants to ask about pediatrics in general you are welcome ✌🏼
Aww! You did not talk about PM&R. I think it is underrated. For those of you that don't know, these doctors manage patients that are going through rehab to restore their function. They work closely with physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists etc to get patients to the highest level of independence as possible.
I cannot wait Ms.Jamie to be my md student inspo as I go through my college life in the medical field. I'm so glad that I have discovered you here in youtube,I guess you were a miracle for me because you've just popped up on my tl. Thank you for inspiring us! :)
Loved my ENT rotation - great culture, minimal ego, huge variety of procedures and its growing as a specialty, not shrinking like some others with the rise of interventional radiology. Good luck :)
I believe my specialty would be internal medicine, specifically cardiology. It's going to take me some time before I get there but I know it's all worth it ! 😀
I think the only thing stopping me from pursuing to be a doctor is financial issues. I sometimes doubt myself if I'm also smart for it, but I believe that I can handle it because I'm the type to be very driven and encouraged if I'm interested in something. It's really just the financial issue :((
Nice vid, Jamie. I'm a mechanical engineer but l am planning to enter med school this year. Your vids give me ideas about medicine. Thank you. from Philippines
You are one of my biggest inspirations, Jamie! I'm on my way to becoming an acute care NP and you continuously help hone in on my passion for health care!!!
Hi. I love you channel. You are an inspiration for all of us!. Can you make a video how do you divide your study materials for an exam? How do you prepare for an exam? If you can help that would be brilliant x
Hey Jamie! I'm a fourth year, too, and I just matched into Psychiatry. If anyone has any questions for me I'd be glad to answer them. It's an amazing field that is only growing in its possibilities, especially in fellowships! For example, in addition to the fellowships you listed, there are also some in geriatric psych, sleep medicine, pain medicine, and so much more. Congrats on matching- knew we could do it! :)
Hello! Can I ask how they match one to a specific field in medical schools? I'm interested to know if they match you based on your proficiency in a particular field or your interests. Thank you!
this is so helpful. im planning to proceed med and havent really decide on what field ill take. but im planning between radiology and neorology. thank you so much! 😁❤
Alicia Mendsey Oh Wow! I’m surprised someone actually knows about this field 😮 It’s a really fascinating specialty because there’s so much variety to the diseases (inborn errors of metabolism) and it has a lot of investigative work. I am currently training with a clinical geneticist and I love how there’s so much detective work behind giving a diagnsosis based on clinical presentation and family history!
I've always wanted to work in a hospital setting but I don't want something like overwhelming situations such as working in ER. Maybe that's why I've felt like I fit in labs because it seems like the workplace is calm (but IDK maybe it's hectic there too)
