[@BeckettCole]

Could you consider a “so you picked the wrong specialty” video on how people switch specialties after residency?

[@kevinjubbalmd]

interesting idea!

[@DoctorAmedicine]

I had so much fun watching this, Kevin! I think the basis of my decision was the realisation that I love being in clinic much more than in the wards, I can imagine this sounding weird to most doctors! Been in residency for 8 months so far and absolutely loving it. Let's see if I feel the same once I'm an independently practicing GP. If I were in the US or back home in India, I would definitely be doing IM. There's no "pure IM" in the UK and GP is the closest it gets to a broad specialty.

[@kevinjubbalmd]

Glad you’re enjoying the switch. Let me know if you do a follow up video down the road!

[@noctowlgaming4293]

Radiologists will not be replaced by AI soon. At most, it will become a useful tool, and radiologists who use it will outperform the ones who dont. The day radiology is completely automated, other specialties are doomed as well, no doubt

[@DrBilly90210]

Choosing a specialty based on your experiences as a med student is like deciding you wanna be a rock star after going to your first concert.

[@kevinjubbalmd]

analogy sounds great, but you definitely have a pretty good idea by the end of MS3 of what you like and don't like

[@DrBilly90210]

@kevinjubbalmd The quip is more about image vs. reality of medicine based on superficial initial exposure, than an individual's likes/dislikes. At first glance, being a rock star looks great: fame, money, adoring fans. What you don't see are 18-hour bus rides, diseased groupies, and managers/promoters trying to swindle you. Neurosurgery is arguably the specialty with the biggest gap between image & reality.

[@magical.tinkerbell]

Any advice? Dr Billy

[@pasoking2483]

I agree and disagree. It depends on the person.

[@JIMKATSANIDIS]

Very helpful video, Dr. Kevin! Choosing a specialty is a significant decision, and it's natural to have concerns about making the wrong choice. By Choosing a specialty that aligns with your interests, passions, and values is crucial for long-term job satisfaction. Also consider the lifestyle implications of your chosen specialty, as it can significantly impact your work-life balance. 🙌❤

[@ekisseka]

Just to clarify, Foundation year training is equivalent to intern year - it’s not between M4 and internship. For the countries that follow the uk system, the intern year is separate from residency.

[@neurogal]

Perfect timing for a specialty choice video. I thought it would be a good idea to be “open minded” going into clerkships but all my preceptors are hounding me to figure it out soon.

[@mohamadberry5]

My comment is actually regarding the product you advertised. So how do we know the company won’t sell our health data to insurance companies?

[@samanthahunter4176]

When I was a paramedic student doing rotations in ED and ICU, those attending would pimp me too and believe me, the first time I was shocked

[@starlight200816]

Can you do a video on how to switch residency programs?

[@MerajAhmad-ky7zf]

Please make a video on "so you wat to be an aerospace medicine physician?"

[@camijuana4825]

please analyze match rates to categorical general surgery after a GS prelim spot. So many imgs/fmgs do this and im doubting the match rate after

[@doctorposting]

going from peds to ps is wild😂😂😂

[@JoshuaAina-ym1bt]

Digging the beard

[@enseniocy9121]

Dear Dr. Jubbal I am a medical doctor living in Turkey and about to choose my specialty. As a male doctor, I am really undecided whether to choose OB/GYN. I am especially undecided between urology and OB/GYN. I am a keen follower of your channel and I would especially like to watch your personal views on OB/GYN . Could you please post a video of ''Why I didn't choose OB/GYN?'' Kind regards

[@NN-ko8fu]

Why??.. nothing thus channel will say will give you an insight about the specialty..why not just go do your own indepth research other than a KZbin channel

[@enseniocy9121]

​@@NN-ko8fuI just wanted to know his personal views on OB/GYN.

[@michaelsingh8346]

@@enseniocy9121 I agree. all you were asking is perspective. i swear some people are just wanting to be morons.

[@kevinjubbalmd]

OB/GYN is a great specialty for the right person! Sometimes patients don't want to be seen by a male OBGYN but that varies based on location/culture. Definitely get some exposure to the field and test out the waters. We also have a SYWTB OBGYN episode on the Med School Insiders channel. Hope it helps and good luck!

amerikada yapicaksan biraz zor olabilir. bol sanslar 🙂

[@Rainbowofthefallen]

Just commenting for the algorithm 💚

[@WyndStryke]

7:00 mental health treatment is a bit of a disaster in the UK due to long term underfunding. It can take a very long time before you can see a specialist. Unfortunately this is doubly true for children. The GP often has to take on this responsibility.

[@scisorkarn]

Why does everyone always think that radiology will be the first to be replaced by AI? The only AI (ChatGPT) that is reasonably useful in everyday clinical practice is language-based. No AI I know of is anywhere near as good at analyzing images as the ones currently available are at writing text. Could you please explain in more detail why radiology will be the first to be replaced?

[@rakshithac3520]

Because most desirable training data can be found in radiology ,LIKE CT AND MRI SLICES, AI vision is also a thing

[@scisorkarn]

@@rakshithac3520 We use EPIC in my hospital. All data is searchable. There is clearly more structured, text-based data. AI has an incredible amount of trouble with the signal inhomogeneities of MRI. Currently usable applications are only at the level of a 5-year-old. For example, assessing lesions in patients with multiple sclerosis or detecting brain aneurysms. As soon as a task becomes more complex and the examiner has to think around more than one corner, AI has absolutely no chance. On the other hand, writing texts, making differential diagnoses based on the medical history, laboratory etc. is much easier for AI.

[@kevinjubbalmd]

prior to chatGPT there were already several studies looking at computer models to review imaging with promising preliminary results

[@jacquesmanguele7497]

Radiology is also a very procedural specialty, which is why many radiologists aren't very good at it, because they've chosen this field thinking from the outset that it's easy and based on lesion detection. I don't think it's just radiology or medicine that should be worried about AI. Because, believe me, if a software program is capable of performing radiology to the point of no longer needing humans, all humanity is in danger, and I'm weighing my words carefully.

[@scisorkarn]

@@jacquesmanguele7497 Correct - everyone outside of radiology thinks it's all about lesion detection. With the simplistic idea of a specialty, I can also understand why everyone thinks AI will be the first to do away with radiologists.

[@manuelparra8487]

What is the Best country for residency in medicine? Germany? Australia? UK? US? For foreign. that has the best balance between work-life and salary. Thanks

[@rizz1088]

Are you all getting paid for residency? If yes, how much?

[@Antrell-wb7qs]

Usually 60-75k

[@MartinCorillo]

@@Antrell-wb7qs anually or monthly?

[@ddcyt7714]

Annually also easily >80 hours a week for intern year

[@orangejuice-vs3nx]

i got click jubbaled

[@DellaKahyzia]

When I was in med school, I really like Radiology. But now my passion is OBGYN. Still like Radiology tho, but not so much anymore

[@mannagarwal5390]

I matched in Obs but I switched to Radiology

[@nelva3771]

Sounds like nurses leaving bedside for outpatient.
