How To MAKE MONEY As A Family Medicine Doctor EXPLAINED | Job Options After Residency

[@nxtgenmd]

Hi everyone - hope this was a helpful / practical look from a high level. We’ll go into specifics in salary vs hours worked when I’m actually staff myself. The truth is, this stuff gets complicated - there are many jobs that I didn’t even talk about including academics, private consulting, etc. The field is diverse enough where I’m confident to say that there’s something for everyone 🤙 if you’re applying this cycle, or if you’re interested in becoming a family doctor, I wish you the best - Gianluca

Always loved how upfront your content is and that you don't shy away from the more pragmatic topics of medicine. Great video!

[@nxtgenmd]

Thanks Jonathan. Glad it helps 🤙

[@rudrapandya2603]

This video is soo useful and should be mandatory viewing for med students in Canada! So many gems here we don't learn until residency.

[@nxtgenmd]

Glad it helped out :) I agree - I would have also liked a similar presentation early in medical school. I think that showing people what it’s actually like is the best way to get people interested in the profession. All the best!

hello doc! i am 24y/o and i am in my first year of undergrad looking into pursuing medicine i really like the content you post about family medicine and i am highly considering going into it. thanks so much for the great content and keep up the good work!

[@nxtgenmd]

Best of luck with your studies my friend :) All the best

Hospitalists in my facility are family physicians. Because the pay is better alot of our family med grads are taking this on instead of a clinic based practice. And some of our clinic based family doctors sign contracts and will cover hospitalist shifts while on vacation from their practice.

[@nxtgenmd]

I've definitely heard of this happening and it's more common in some places than others. Thanks for sharing 🤙

[@Lina-lq6lr]

So glad I saw this as I’m applying to FM this makes me so excited for opportunities I didn’t know exist!! Thanks for helping me affirm my decision (:

[@jorgesolis7897]

Great, quality, video! Thank you. I'm currently in Texas but would like to move to Canada in the next 6 months. And study medicine. I have an undergrad degree from a U.S. university. Thanks again!

[@nxtgenmd]

Best of luck with everything :) thank you

Glad it helped :) all the best

[@JoelBrownMD]

Your videos are GOLD. THANK YOU!

[@nxtgenmd]

Glad to hear it :) thanks

[@Disconcertedfox]

Can you please talk about being a family physician and academic work? I'm looking at all of these options with research and such and would love some thoughts on how it worked.

[@jeanetteraichel8299]

With the shortage of family medicine doctors in Canada, anywhere you look you should have your plan of where you want to work. The doctors office I goto they lost two to retirement, so my doctor started ah that clinic around a month after being free. Probably too a nice vacation then jumped into action as an attending doc Whee ever you end up they'll be lucky to have you.

Thank u for sharing !!

[@nxtgenmd]

You’re welcome :)

[@zoyamufti833]

That is some great content

[@sn7510]

Love the idea that you get to be a jack of all trades

[@nxtgenmd]

That’s definitely one of the best parts of my job imo 🔥

[@theshadowclient]

what do you think of concierge med and urgent care? Seems like the survey income numbers for FM are supposedly low but I don't imagine it really could be like that in reality if you work a lot of hours. Likely applying FM here

[@TK-dg8zh]

Amazing video brother. Currently in med school abroad and I plan on either coming back to the States or Canada for family medicine; having these vids in my playlist is definitely a gold mine for that hahaha. Keep up with the high quality content

[@nxtgenmd]

Thanks brother - all the best with your training. Hope you end up at your first choice 💪

[@Takingitslow9]

Can family medicine doctors practice esthetics medicine on the side of their main duties?

[@amrmst1]

What about diabetes and obesity medicine fellowship afterwards family medicine residency in canada ?

[@nxtgenmd]

All family doctors are well trained in both diabetes management and obesity. If you are looking to do specialized training in those areas, you can look for a program that offers it. Unfortunately I don't know of any off the top of my head. Best of luck

[@kamranmahfooz12]

Can an internal medicine doctor practice as family medicine in canada ?

[@nxtgenmd]

They cannot. Family medicine is a distinct specialty in Canada with its own licensing exams

[@s.harris3883]

In Family medicine training We need to do rotation in all these dept ( clinic plus ward work in the hospital with oncall) - oby and gynae - pediatric including neonatal posting - derm - ent - opthal - psy -surgical - internal medicine - ER -radiology Plus managing clinic, doing outreach programme in the final year Giving health talk Definitely different from internal medicine

[@THazra2083]

Hi sir. I am an Indian doctor. I am 40 now. Is it ok if I give the exam for Canada now . will I get a residency at this age if I clear the exam. Please advice

[@nxtgenmd]

Please consult the physiciansapply.ca website for transfer details. Best of luck

[@sumbulyousuf05]

Can I do undergrad online? in business degree and then apply for med school?

[@ashleys835]

Super helpful in boosting my confidence. I'm a canadian pGY3 FM in the US. I came in super excited about being a family med doc (as I am from Canada ada), but my US counterparts make you feel so inadequate , little do they know in Canada FM is very lucrative with more autonomy and work than things like surgery

[@nxtgenmd]

I'm glad that it was helpful :) I am very happy to be starting this July in full time family med in Canada I've heard both sides lately - many US family doctors telling me that working in Canada is better in terms of both job responsibilities and pay. On the other hand, I recently had a great conversation with a doc based out of rural Florida who told me that they very easily clear $500,000 USD with a great work schedule. Would love to hear anything that you'd like to share about your thoughts as a Canadian working in the states if you have the time. All the best!
