The medical industry is constantly evolving, which means new pathways and career options will continue to evolve along with it. Note that some of the emerging career paths we covered are quite new, meaning the training trajectory and compensation are not yet well-defined.

Which one of these specialties would you consider as a career?🥼 Let us know in the comments.

[@kelminak2992]

I’m in psychiatry residency right now and I’m planning to be a virtualist! There are so many different practice options right now. Inpatient, outpatient, employed, private practice, etc. The demand is so high for psychiatry you can do literally anything you want from the comfort of your own home!!

[@americanbobtail1]

I feel sorry for your future patients. No doubt you will give them insufficient treatment.

[@kelminak2992]

⁠@@americanbobtail1That’s a fairly attacking statement. Considering I already do some of this practice in my training, rarely does this mode of interaction provide them “insufficient treatment.” I’m fact, the technology allows psychiatry to be more accessible when there is such a small supply of physicians available. There is the occasional subtle physical cue that could be missed, but I think that is outweighed by providing more access to care. I would love to hear you elaborate further.

[@americanbobtail1]

@@kelminak2992 - Very simple you can't diagnose visual exams and more likely than not physical exams for patients remotely. That is essential for proper patient care. How are you accurately seeing your patient eye and facial movements through a crappy webcam? You are not and missing a ton. In addition, how are you accurately testing patients other physical movements through a webcam? You are not. Many of your patients may have neurological disorders that will not be shown when they meet you through a webcam. You can learn a lot more about a patient in person by watching their movements live and seeing your patients walk and get out of a chair than just supposedly facial movements by webcam. Also, what standard diagnostic tests are you doing as blood pressure, composition blood tests, etc.. with new patients to determine whether they have other issues. Calling yourself a legitimate psychiatrist by webcam is a joke. You are guestimating at best and in essence being a legalized drug dealer. Also, what other brain tests do you order for your patients remotely? I could be wrong but I bet you have not ordered a PET/CT Scan, Functional MRI, EEG, QEEG, etc. to accurately brain map and test brain activity. Finally, do not give me all I do is mood disorders and that is it. Sorry, I do not buy having two separate diagnostic specialties for one organ. There should only be one for you to properly treat your patients and not have the biasness in the current backwards allopathic/modern osteopathic system that patients you can't properly treat should go to neurology. For example how many patients do you have with migraine disorders have been improperly diagnosed with depression. Also, what procedures do you do to figure out the difference.

[@mateocorrea3768]

Hey, so im actually interested in virtual psychiatry. Are there any downsides to the patient or the doctor and if you are a virtualist can you work anywhere in the world?

[@kelminak2992]

@@mateocorrea3768 Some people perceive the inability to not be able to read very finite physical cues (facial scrunches, small amounts of tearfulness, etc.) as a detriment to telepsychiatry, and I think that's a valid criticism. You're effectively weighing that versus the ability to access a patient population that may never have been able to make it to an appointment in person due to time or geographical constraints. If you're okay with that sacrifice, telepsychiatry becomes a phenomenal way to practice. I do believe in the US, you are required to practice within the US but can practice in other states. It would take a little bit of research to see if that's not the case, and it may depend on the state you live/practice in as well. Don't take my word as gospel on that part.

[@user-ih7zm1ud7e]

I think it'd be great if you made a video about being a first-generation student applying to medical school!

[@AudioTruyenLangQue]

Thank you so much for your help and advice, I really appreciate your job. I wish you happiness and peace under the sky of prosperity. All the best. Take care and have a good time

Please make more of the pre-med extracurricular videos! I’m a freshman at Emory right now trying to figure all this stuff out and they are super helpful!

Great video

[@thinmanonwheelz]

Just small correction suggestion Peter Attia did not drop out of residency left sometime during his fellowship training or shortly after and just never obtained board certification. However he is a licensed physician in three states and as you suggested he has his own private practice clinic focusing on healthspan.

[@justjasmine92]

Can you do a segmented of the different nursing specialties?

[@alext7202]

Can you do "so you want to be a cruise ship doctor"?

[@jonfilibuster8499]

Longevity is what family medicine does all day minus the wealthy clients to carry out recommendations. Eat healthy, exercise, avoid drugs/toxins, sleep well, and have quality family time. Not rocket science. When social barriers get in the way like the majority of FM patients, good luck.

[@knosis]

Hey, nocturnists aren't necessarily only in internal medicine. There are EM nocturnists and oncology nocturnists, for example. I know this because I work with them when I do nights and they are pretty cool people.

[@optopediaeverythingeye2416]

What about Tele Optometry. Wow, Nocturnist sounds great, especially for Night Owls.

[@melissajourneys]

I am 33 and thinking of the course to go to med school, would start at 35. I want to have kids so this is one decision I really want to take my time with because of the opportunity cost... I want to work with my hands doing procedures because I’ve liked that in my clinical experience. But I don’t see myself working in a hospital. I want to learn more about the 1) longevity specialist, 2) medical virtualist, and 3) lifestyle medicine they fit more with my lifestyle preferences, ty

I am a Artificial intelligence engineer who is studying veterinary medicine, I think Clinical Informatician is an awesome field for me! It just blew mind, if anybody know more details about it please let me know, thanks for the great video!

They sell food cause there no jobs

[@abdulrhmanradwan4262]

Ohh that's incredible 👏👏 I wanna ask you a question: How much the salary of doctors during residency and is it different according to specialization???

[@MedSchoolInsiders]

It's consistent about $60,000 to $65,000 per year. It's more variable across higher versus lower cost cities and not between specialties.

[@maryhasaballa4052]

Are there videos about nontraditional students 30+?

[@MedSchoolInsiders]

Nothing at the moment but a video for nontraditional applicants is on our radar. Thanks for watching!
