How to CHOOSE A SPECIALTY | 6 Steps

[@generalklytus1393]

Most med students I know had pre-existing ideas about the kind of physician they wished to be upon entering school. And many had changed their path by the end of their third year. I thought pediatrics would be for me - yet it was my LEAST favorite rotation of third year. I started third year with an Internal Medicine rotation and everything clicked. This was for me and fit my personality and strengths. Later, I planned to either specialize in GI, ID, or Pulm/Critical care. As time passed, I realized what I found most fascinating and rewarding was Infectious Diseases. I've now been in practice for 13 years and love being an ID doc. Your passion will come to you regardless of the pros/cons that come with that speciality. Medicine is endlessly rewarding and intellectually challenging, and it is privilege to care for people. Good luck and work hard! Thanks for your videos!

You should do a series where you highlight other options for those uninterested in going the M.D. or D.O. route and instead having professional doctorates for specialized clinical professionals. Audiology - Au.D. Optometry - O.D. Podiatry - D.P.M. Occupational Therapy - D.O.T. Nurse Practitioner - D.N.P. Pharmacy - Pharm.D. Psychology - Psy.D. Veterinary Medicine - D.V.M. Physical Therapy - D.P.T. Chiropractic Medicine - D.C. These typically are cheaper alternatives to Med School and still make good money, while providing a doctorate in a specialized field.

[@Newtonincorporatedtif]

Can you expand on the lack of precision and poor patient outcomes in neurosurgery? I want be neurosurgeon. I would think people going for neurosurgery before medical school continue with it because neurosurgery is communicated socially (or maybe glamorized) as being highly challenging with low work-life balance. So they set them self up for the challenge before hand and end up going through with it because they already went so far in preparation.

[@korasluchowa]

I'm neurosurgeon from Poland and I feel offended. This will be my first comment in my life on youtube. Lack of precision? For example: When I'm operating lumbar disck hernation I'm trying to make the smallest skin incision possible and then I'm operating in microskope. I'm operating cervical disk hernation removing disk and posterior longitunal ligament trying not to even touch cervical cord because it is very sensitive. When I'm operating brain tumour I have to be gently with retractors, bicoagulation, sucction to not demage healthy tissue. I'm operating brain vessels malformations when every move can lead to death of the patient. I'm operating spine fractures when I need precision to put screws in spine without demaging nerve roots. We are making plastic surgery of the skull. Plastic sutures in every operation. Plastic skin incision. Almost every operation with microskope, microsurgery gears. I could write many more examples if I want... I think that the ordinary neurosurgeon should be the same or even more precised than plastic surgeon. Sometimes from outside our operation can look not precised - when we open the skull with craniotome or making long spine stabilisation but in most cases in most amount of time we have to be very precised! Bad outcome can be true when we operating brain trauma, strokes, SAH from aneurysm. Our patients die of course more often than patients operated by plastic surgeons, but in most types of operations we have good outcome.

I find it interesting how specialties that are not generally procedure-based have the highest rates of burnout, depression, and suicide. (e.g neurology, internal medicine, etc.) Is there something about surgery, or just procedures in general, that makes it worthwhile?

[@aurorarising1945]

Yes i think its the immediate result factor. When you see a patient every 6 months and do check ups cosntantly it feels like its so mundane and you dont know exactly how you impact their life directly. When you perform a successful surgery, you see the patient heal in a shorter period of time and you see the results directly making you feel like your job is worth everything

[@amariajmiguel9220]

Even though I'm just an 8 grader I'm already preparing myself from the stress and hardships I'll go through to become succesful if I'll go into med school.

Ommmggg saaame😊😂😂✊🏾✊🏾

[@KayKay.1615]

Same I'm going to be a freshman in highschool though

[@KayKay.1615]

I find the medical field very interesting the only thing I'm worried about is debts

[@JLew2798]

[@dianeridley9804]

What makes you curious about anesthesiology?

[@mr_sowong9464]

6:36 "Too many bureaucratic tasks..." I don't hear this talked about often, especially in "Day in the Life"s. I've always wondered about those things...

[@Aneurysmmm]

I’m 15, I love the idea of helping people and preforming surgeries. I prefer to use my hands. I’m very persistent, I have a hard working ethics in what I’m passionate about. Ive recently been questioning whether or not I want to be a general surgeon or a neurosurgeon. I love both Ideas although general surgeons aren’t usually in the OR most of the time which I prefer the OR and the atmosphere. Although being a neurosurgeon scares me I don’t want to do something wrong and be burnt out. I am a very passionate person. I don’t want to give up I want to be the best surgeon possible. Saving lives has always been a strong interest but I need an outside view and other peoples experience in both fields. If anyone can give me information on both I would appreciate that! Also if you have any book recommendations on both would be appreciated! Another thing is university’s i want to study abroad in Germany although I’m not sure which school and which one offers the courses in English (although I am learn German)and education programs I need to become a surgeon. Any advice on that would also be helpful to me!!

[@reaperwithascythe]

If you're interested in the life of a neurosurgeon then I definitely recommend reading Do No Harm by Henry Marsh.

[@SandraGonzalez-uq8pf]

I entered into med school hoping to be a medical researcher, I loved neurosciences. At the end of my years in school, when I got more clinical practices I realized I really enjoyed Ob/Gyn and Pediatrics... Now I am about to choose how to continue my carrer, choosing a postgraduate program or a specialty and it's driving me crazy. I still love research but in a basic or translational level (clinical research is not for me) but I don't feel like to giving up direct patient contact to stay in a lab. I need to choose a way and quit the other... I hope to get back to this comment in a while being happy wherever I'll go.

[@tfromthasix1956]

Any update a month later?

[@kilungwingamta9742]

Any update?

[@Trusfrated02]

Update please

[@andrewaviado1330]

I'm still in high school and about to graduate next year. I can relate to you, I love researching medical stuff, especially in the field of neuroscience. I know it's a really difficult specialty, but hopefully, this is the role that was meant for me. In the meantime, I consider becoming a Nurse first as it gives me an advantage before I go to medical school. And yeah, @SandaraGonzales-uq8pf I hope you have a successful career and a wonderful life... I also hope to get back to this comment, wondering if I can make it through to my desired career. May the Good Lord Bless us all.

[@mennaalashker6999]

Update?

[@mustafaaa772]

Make a video on Radiology, I am attracted towards it a lot!

[@seifhossam1791]

I LOVE THESE VIDEOS!

[@CH-VS]

Lookin to be an orthopedic surgeon, thanks for helping me "confirm" that this is actually what I want to do

[@xelarmj]

Before I was just dreaming to be one, now I am starting my premed journey. Wish me luck!

[@juliam2726]

lmao, I'm 14 and I already know I want to go into the medical field. I just took the SDN specialty quiz to see what I'd best fall under considering my personality and I got ~internal medicine (hematology/oncology), ~ physiatry/rehab, ~pediatrics. Rehab doesn't really seem like something I'd want to do but pediatric hematology combines what I really want to do which is pediatrics with something really cool, even though the field can be sad it will be really energizing when I actually help someone. I want to ask though (I don't know if you really read comments but..) do you have videos/resources for people who are around my age who already kind of know what they want to do and resources that can help them sort of spring ahead with a little extra practice? I don't know, I think it'd be cool if there was someplace I could really start learning about it without having to wait till med school bc I'm still just a freshman in high school.

[@mia7061]

I just know I want to go into cardiology. Ever since I found it I had a open heart surgery at around 3 days :). Born at 25 weeks too 👍🏼

[@nealdavar939]

Your channel is amazing.

[@ratyrat5]

If you have the time, you should make some sort of spreadsheet that would rate qualities like Pay, Quality of Life, Outside work relationships, etc. on a scale of 1-5.

[@SynnefaAsteria]

Just one more year before my highschool ends. I'm just aware that i wanna be in this field but I'm still stuck by choosing medtech, nursing, and pharmacy. hopefully I'll decide which job i'm willing to commit

[@chaeglows]

i really love the inside scoop thing on your website! can you do maybe pediatrician, or veterinarian as well?

[@salvia_salmon]

I'm Indian ,and here if we wanna go to med school we have to clear NEET exam , which is the one of most difficult and really competitive exam in India. So now I'm preparing for that exam and I'm not sure if I will succeed but if (that's a big if) I get into med school , I guess ill go with opthalmic field. Because my dad runs optical shop, I guess I could help him .

[@salvia_salmon]

@❣︎𝙸𝚝𝚣_𝚂𝚑𝚊𝚗𝚎❦︎ I really don't know okay , but I guess all physicians do check body mass index. cardiologist doctors do check BMI . Lifestyle based disease diagnosis may include bmi checking.. 🙃 but if you are specifically asking , the health care professionals who deals with obesity ,body fat etc are called bariatricians..

[@androandro7179]

I checked the insiders scoop and Pathology is not included,can you please add it if possible? :(

[@inzaghiscornsalad7034]

The only thing that has always held me back from deciding to study medicine is that, I want to have a pretty well work-life balance. But I still wanna go for it.

[@ariavega5230]

The highest paying fields and fields that take the longest to complete like neurosurgery, orthopedics, and pediatrics make up the part of students who didn’t switch meaning the students were fierce committed bc of the money and time they would have to commit to choosing it

[@Ineshiee]

I've already answered all of those questions for myself and at this point I consider 4 specialities seriously(I'm just finishing my 3rd year which is kind of the 'transition' year between pre-clinical and clinical years in Poland). I love internal medicine as it is such a broad field but sometimes it scares me that even other doctors treat internal medicine specialists as no specialists at all. I'm even more interested in oncology but the residency programme in my country for oncology is scary for me(first three years are spent completely in internal medicine, where doctors and not very keen on teaching as you'll not specializing in IM anyway. ). Pathology would be perfect but I'm not sure if I would be able to perform an autopsy(I feel like watching it and doing are two completely different things). And there's hematology... but there're very little residency spots for that speciality so it's hard(And if I tried and didn't get the spot I'd have to wait 6 months to apply again for any speciality). Good thing I have 4 more years to make that choice.

[@DrAdnan]

Breadth of practice and stress are big factors for me :)

[@797brm]

Adnan A what specialty are you thinking about doing?

[@dogethsamurai2390]

Thank you 1. Area of interest 2. Direct patient care or indirect patient care 3. Surgical, Medical, or a mix 4. Importance of work-life balance 5. Type of patient perfered 6. Assess your own skill, competativeness of speicalty, type of activity perfered outside of clinical practice

[@comicreader1]

I'm in 10th grade and I really want to become a nutritionist or optometrist but the thing is alot of people around me are doubtful, they keep comparing me to other family members who they say study for hours and hours non stop while I'm over here studying 3hours or so, I'm very dedicated and i study biology chemistry and other subjects for the medical school well but these "small" things just put down my confidence in general. Yes there are people who are better than me, smarter and can work hours non stop but that doesn't mean comparing me to them will make me like them yk? I'm my own person. If I could choose subjects that are for the medical school only I would but I live in a European country so I have to study every subject, I can't just focus on biology for hours when I have other subjects to study unless I fricking kill myself with work. With all these subjects plus private lessons and homework I have no fricking time to even go outside, I don't even remember when was the last time I went on a fresh air walk yk? Yet everyone thinks I am not studying enough or I'm a bad student which isn't true. It's so fricking stressful but I will push myself and I will work on my self just to get my dream job

[@notericok7695]

i don't want to be a doctor but I still watch your videos as they are interesting

[@thegamingmedstudent2692]

Dr. Jubbal, Could you do a video on how medical school debt influences life after graduating medical school? Or perhaps based on your debt, are you forced to go into a high paying specialty? Excellent video and Thank you for making all of these videos!

[@MedSchoolInsiders]

I’m working on a finances video coming out in a couple weeks. Check it when it posts

[@iamthesun123]

Great video. Your content is super helpful and insightful. Is it possible to choose more than one specialty, or switch from one specialty to another after some time? I'm really interested in both emergency medicine and internal/family medicine and really like the idea of both. I hear wanting to branch to different specialties that it might be better to becoming a PA... any thoughts?

[@shaden1135]

You guys rock 💪🏻

[@daniellalopez3287]

I either want to be on pediatrics, General, Nero, and Cardiothoracic. :)))

[@daniellalopez3287]

Sorry... OR ➡️⬆️

[@ashajones1787]

This video was helpful because I'm trying to figure out which specialty to choose. I will be sure to check out the websites listed too
