Choosing a Doctor Specialty | What People Overlook

When deciding on a specialty, we often think about clinical interests, the bread and butter, and lifestyle. But there are several more often overlooked qualities that make up an important component in your long term happiness and career satisfaction. Here is what you shouldn’t overlook when considering a specialty as a medical student and future physician.

[@kennethmoore3783]

I ran a tutoring program for grade school children while in college. I taught 6th grade before I started Med school. I worked as a counselor at a children’s psychiatric hospital. I was sure that I would be a pediatrician or child psychiatrist when I started Med school. But my 3rd year clinical rotations convinced me otherwise. This is a major advantage of medical school-you get to try on the specialty before you have to choose.

I knew there was no way I could tolerate more than 3 years of residency. Primary care is for me

[@bahzingapunk2654]

This is not even an opinion anymore, its fact! This is the best channel on youtube

[@dabi_]

My opinion after choosing what I believe was the best specialty for me and now totally loving it: rather than focusing on an abstraction of what each specialty might mean, if you’re a medical student, just look around you. Are the people around you that are doing your target specialty, achieving the happiness that you want? If yes, pursue. If no, then choose something else. Each person’s happiness is different, so choose what you want and try not to get caught up into “what everybody else wants”, which I think is one of the most common traps of med school and career decision making.

I'm premed but I'm torn between Neurosurgery and Anesthesiology. I love the aspect of of surgery and working with the nervous system, the pay is also great. Although I don't know if I could handle the work/life balance. Anesthesiology was what got me interested in medicine in the first place because it is still connected to surgery, has a greater variety in its work, still pays well, and has a much better work life balance. But I guess only time will tell.

[@EnzroGreenidge]

As an Anesthesiologist, who went to medical school and knew anesthesiology was the area I was interested in, I am very satisfied. I was never interested in the pay. I always put care first. The only way to be happy in medicine is to love taking care of people. As a black anesthesiologist, there are some extra issues, but I love and care for all my patients. Loving the work is all that matters, the pay will come.

[@haroldpierre1726]

As an anesthesiologist, I can tell you that there are jobs where anesthesiologists work much longer hours than neurosurgeons. Also, there are neurosurgeons who work less than internists. You have time to decide and medicine may change by the time you are done with training.

[@marymary9909]

@@haroldpierre1726 hey I'd like to know what other physicians think of maxillofacial surgery? I'm currently doing dental medicine and I'm keen on carrying on with surgery rather than other dental fields like prosthodontics or orthodontics..cool or mehh?

[@haroldpierre1726]

@@marymary9909 I've worked with a lot of maxillofacial surgeons. I find their work very interesting and I know my colleagues feel the same. What I try to remind aspiring physicians and dentists to do is learn how the compensations are generated. When you look at the average pay for certain specialties, it's not just a number. There are things you have to do to generate that number. These may include very long procedures with great reimbursement, quick procedures with low pay and vice versa. Or, the pay may be the result of clinical evaluations and managements. Once you examine the revenue process you might find that you love the clinical side but hate the business side of the specialty. You have to think of money because your staff, supplies, equipment, malpractice, office, etc. aren't free. Someone has to pay for it and inevitably it is YOU. Match the specialty you love with a business you love or you won't be happy.

There’s a process called SOAP if you don’t match anywhere, but unless your desired specialty is internal medicine, family medicine, or another non-competitive field, you won’t get in. If you do match into a specialty that isn’t your top choice, then you would have to go through the process of transferring, which is pretty difficult, and you’re largely on your own

[@carinamcallister4409]

Lots of people have families in med school (because mothers are still protected by title 9) and many have families in residencies (there are some that provide maternity leave). A residency is training, but also a paid position. Probably the only paid position a person who never made over 25k a year can enter and make 60k their first year. Fellowships are also paid. I started undergrad at 30 and I’ll start medical school at 33 (yes, 3 years undergrad only). I at least have the life experience enough to know what I like, what motivates me, and how to balance my life and a career in many ways already. I’d say pushing the establishment towards a healthier medical field for practitioners is more important than steering future practitioners to what already exists.

It kind of made me think about being a doctor and the kind of doctor I wanted to be. Then I realized how much I’ve struggled with my skin and how much I would like to help others with their skin.....lol I’m going on and on rambling but I was wondering do I still have any hope?

[@peterhovorka5153]

To be honest. I am a med student from the Czech Republic. Before I went to medicine I'd wanted to be a psychiatrist. But at the medical school I saw the reality of psychiatry. They are just prescribing drugs. They don't talk with people (maybe only during first appointment), patient usually comes and leaves in 5 minutes. So that's why I started to hate psychiatry. I love talking with patient. Not just prescribing. Also I fell in love with subjects like physiology, pathophysiology and farmacology. So from that time I thought that I will do internal.medicine (internal medicine is mainly about these subjects) but I was also wrong. When I came to the hospital for my clinical internal medicine rotation I realized that I also hate it. Because of the patients. They don't take drugs, they don't follow your instructions, every appointment you repeat them that they have to take insulin for their diabetes and they usually promise that they will do it. But after 3 months at next appointment you see that they don't care about treatment. This happens almost everywhere at internal.medicine specialities. I have 2,5 years left. And I am the most confused person I've ever been. Both psychiatry and internal medicine disappointed me. So now I am thinking what I will do. I don't want to do surgical specialities. I prefer some specialities where you see the the immediate result. Or where patients will follow my instructions. So maybe dermatology. But as I said, I am confused 😁

[@sheridagibbs6251]

Emergency medicine?😁

[@peterhovorka5153]

@@sheridagibbs6251 great choice. To be honest I was thinking about it few months ago. But then I started to read many articles and disscusions about emergency and I say - ''no thank you'' It looks so ''sexy'' that you are saving lives but the reality is different. About 80% patients are just ''pretending'' patients. E.g. they have back/stomach/head pain for many weeks and they decide to go to emergency medicine at 11 pm on Saturday. Because they were bored. Also you see so many homeless patients visiting emergency because of food and clothes, also you see so many drunk people (especially on weekend). So usually you see patients that could wait few more days for their primary care doctors (family medicine, internal etc...). So emergency is not about acute ilnesses but more about chronic things. Just about 20% are acute - heart infarctions, traumas etc... My father used to work at emergency medicine and he also told me this what I read at discussions websites. So - no thank you. It looks great in the movies but the reality is different

It's not a specialty-specific problem, it's rapidly evolving and not going away anytime soon and almost no one going into medicine is aware of this issue, and your platform would be the perfect opportunity to raise awareness. I'm fully aware of the fact that nurses have more power online due to sheer number so I get not wanting to go within a 100-mile radius of this topic but it's just so, so central to modern medicine and it can NOT be overlooked.
