Can you offer some advice of how to become a forensic pathologist? It's my dream career but idk if I'll get into med school

[@stevenreeves2518]

@@lonnisplace1459 just study your ass off and it’s doable. Get good letters of rec shadowing a pathologist at the end of medical school to get a decent residency and do about average on STEP 1. If not in med school yet must maintain GPA around 3.5 and MCAT won’t matter quite so much (possibly).

[@Prissypants_itsAFamilyNameOkay]

@@lonnisplace1459 My first piece of advice would be to not focus too hard on one school, or even a few schools, only. Because...if you can't get into your state's schools, or whatever school you think you want to, you can still go to medical school, probably. There's the Caribbean; Poland; Ireland; Mexico; and any of those could get you the degree and residency that you need to do most things that you want. These things don't have to only be one way. It's not "if I don't get into X school, I can't..." because you can. It just takes more effort on your part. My second piece of advice would be to give up the idea that you want to be a forensic pathologist. That, too, becomes self-limiting; i.e. if not that, then nothing. The fact is, once you get into med school you will PROBABLY pick a specialty that you never thought of. About half of every class does. I say this, because I've seen in MANY times. Even I started med school thinking I wanted to be a pathologist (mainly because both my mother and father are pathologists), but after I got into my junior year and I went through some other rotations, I found that other things interested me more. I thought I didn't really want to deal with patients directly, then I became a family doctor and psychiatrist. So just wait and see. You might be (pleasantly) surprised.

[@kabauny]

@@Just_a_Random_guy-uuu The best part of getting into medical school is finding out you got in because it's going to be a rough 3 years from that point. The first two years is like finals week in college, except it'e every week. Then third year is getting use to not knowing anything, and the felling you are constantly "in the way" of "real adults doing real work". 4th year feels almost like a vacation while probably still working 40+ hours a week for 2/3 to 3/4 of the year depending where you went to medical school. I am a heme onc fellow from an internal medicine residency, so I only feel qualified talking about medical specialties. For IM, PGY1 year is where you learn what hard work really is. The first 3 months is a STEEP learning curve, getting to know the hospital, the system, and truly learn the word of "roundsmenship." The next 9 months is kinda repetitive in the best way possible. You are still learning, working hard hours, but at a pace you are more comfortable with. PGY2 year is by far the STEEPEST learning curve. For some, it takes 2-3 months. For others, it may take the rest of residency. While their medical knowledge will need continued improvement (like we all do), they learn to take full ownership of their patients. Through out your training, you will face new challenges every step of the way and each time it pushes you towards a new level of comfort zone. But don't worry about all that yet. I would say the hardest part is getting invited to the club i.e. get into medical school. To put things in perspective, I spent 2 months preparing for my medical school application. 1 week for my residency application, and 1 afternoon for my fellowship application. I found it's much easier to convince people you are interested, if you have the access to opportunities. I hope this helps, good luck!

[@sanxxxx]

@@ShiverZZZ666 Honestly if you get only 3 hours of sleep a day because you can't keep up, maybe med school isn't for you. I don't even study every day and always get 8 hours of sleep and still manage well, so do most of my classmates. I'm a 5th year student. Just chill a bit and learn to study effectively. You'll drop out if you don't sleep and burn out.

I've been looking for speciality for many years and to be honest psychiatry about 8 years ago was one of the worst paid speciality (it's still bad paid :D) and it was very easy to be accepted to the residency program for IMG.

Could you please do a "so you want to be an oncologist"?

[@kabauny]

Can't tell you what's like to be an oncologists since it's been only two weeks since starting fellowship, but I can tell you what I know about the field and the application process. HO obviously is a subspecialty of IM. It's a 3 year fellowship. There are some subspecialties, but all of them except for transplant is non-ACGME accredited. HO is very research focused because our understanding of cancer is still at its infancy. What this means is that we are making medical decisions largely based off clinical trials rather than application of physiology and molecular biology. I would love to tell you we know the exact mechanism of every cancer and have tools to combat these abnormalities, but the science is simply not there yet. This is a great career opportunity if your goals is to advance the practice of oncology. There are two spectrums of HO fellowship: research and clinical. If your goal is to organize physician initiated clinical trials (rather than drug company initiated), you are going to want to go to a more research focused institution. These are typically your most "prestigious" centers like MD Anderson, Sloan memorial, NIH, Farber-Dana, etc.. (it's actually Dana-Farber, but Dr. Sidney Farber is actually the physician-scientist that founded the institution and Dana is just the money people). These institutions are typically 18 months of learning HO, and then 18 months of research. If you only want to contribute to the field of oncology by enrolling patients to clinical trials or simply practice (without any focus on academia), you probably want to go to a clinically focused institution, where you are seeing patients 80-90% of your 3 years. To get into the fellowship, regardless of the type you choose, the strength of your application is demonstrating your commitment to research. I would argue the quality of your publication matters more than quantity, although there is a threshold of quantity as well. I would do maybe 7-10 things. These could be abstracts, posters, presentation, and obviously publications. I would have at least 1 first author paper or a co-author of a high impact journal. Letters only matter if the institution know the writer, which I would argue is one of the few reason why a training in a competitive residency is important. To sum up, HO is a truly Evidence Based Medicine, more so than any other field. It's an exciting, where the practice is constantly changing because of better understanding of oncology. You are also taking care of patients at their most vulnerable state, so you owe it to them to be the best doctor you can possibly be. If you want to contribute the science, go into a research focused fellowship. If you want to help as many people as much as possible now, go to a a clinically focused fellowship. If you want to do both, you can go to either one and see less patients but spend the rest of the time on enrolling patients to clinical trials. Get a feel for what you like. And if you know you want to be in academia, start setting yourself up now by getting a good step score, to go to a good IM residency, and start research now. Nothing shows commitment more than showing half a decade of research experience. This is a lot of information, and I hope it helps. haha. PS. There is a whole field of heme I ignored.

There also had to be time left for academia during working hours. The job also needed to be in balance with my family and other interests and hobbies and I didn’t want to work nights and weekends if possible. Money should be enough, but was not a primary thing.

[@FoxboroPiper]

If doctor lifestyle is the primary concern, you should consider applying to dental school. On average, dentists make more money FOR THEIR TIME than physicians in the United States. In most states you can be fully licensed as a general dentist immediately after earning the DDS/DMD without going through a grueling residency; otherwise a residency in general dentistry is only 1 year long. Private practice dentists typically work normal daytime hours 4 days per week. And contrary to what many pre-meds might think about dentistry, dentists regularly get the personal satisfaction of significantly improving quality of life and extending life expectancy for our patients. There is a lot of medicine in modern dentistry; as healthcare becomes more advanced, dentists are more involved in the screening and management of systemic diseases--diabetes, HIV infection, cancer, sleep apnea, psychiatric conditions, etc.

soaphops PM&R is physical medicine and rehabilitation. A simple way to think about it is a combination of non-op ortho and neurology. Working with stroke patients/brain injuries/spinal cord injuries is the neuro side. Sports medicine, joints, and pain management some of the ortho stuff. Because of the acuity of patients (usually always stable, in the process of rehab) there are very few emergencies and thus being on call is not as stressful or as intense. Most PM&R jobs out of residency are Monday through Friday with pretty regular hours. Even during residency the hours are not nearly as bad as other specialties.

[@kelminak2992]

Focus on getting in first. You’re too far removed to make any meaningful decision without seeing the specialties firsthand.

[@muhammadzainulabideen1273]

Good thinking with a clear understanding of how you want to spend your 50s. I am an final year medical student. Here are two things that you can consider while making your mind: 1. Work for people who don't have to get in line to reach you and you have minimum urgent care cases.... Sports medicine, palliative care, geriatrics, oncology, heamatology, 2. Choose speacialities in which you can be a social influencer or atleast have your own practice/business outside of hospital and clinical setup. Like the specialties with the scope of entrepreneurship. Like ENT, Psychiatry, ophthalmology, pathology, radiology, ..... By the way if you have any other ideas in mind, please let me know. 😅😊 Best of luck for your journey to be a good doctor 🎉

Nice! Anesthesia is like flying a plane...things are busy at the start and end, but can be slow in the middle of cases. Be prepared to use checklists and be the one left holding the bag in case of an emergency.

I'm biased as a PM&R resident, but I feel like this field is WAY overlooked in terms of lifestyle. About 45-50 hours/week, wide variety of MSK/Neuro pathologies, several niches to fit into? Yes, please lol

Ahh that 40 years old medicina looked good. 😂 I need to get out more. But they don't make my junior doctor classmates like that

[@drxensen]

Need to mention Pathology - practices during business hours, very light call, makes 300k+. Not many specialties can claim that.

You forgot to mention pathology terrible job market; I would say the worst among all medical specialties.

what about as a pediatrician?

[@joebateman9795]

Hey all, If in the US, I would encourage all medical students to think long and hard about going into a specialty where you spend your entire career inside of a hospital. Going into a hospital and caring for someone is great, but being owned by a corporate entity isn't. The corporate entities who own hospital medicine aren't your friend. They don't do ANYTHING a private owned physician group can do. And they take all the profits that should be going to you. I know as a medical student, profits aren't the main focus of your time now. But years from now, you will have a mortgage, kids, cars, and retirement on the horizon. Those profits, that YOU earned (not some MBA in suit), going elsewhere makes all of those items previously listed much harder to come by. Own your own practice and your time.

Could you please do a video on “so you want to be... a neuro-trauma surgeon”

[@dolevrevivo]

I know it’s very important to consider compensation or work hours before choosing a specialty (because no one should feel as if they are sacrificing their life for anything, let alone a profession), but nowadays all I see in KZbin are videos like this. As if everyone goes to medicine just so they would be able to work 8 hours a day and get paid a lot, and that’s just makes me sad. I want to see videos about people who go to more grim fields of medicine out of sense of purpose. I want to see videos about physician scientist who go to oncology just for the dream they would be able to make a change in the field and understanding of cancer. I want to see videos about Neurosurgeons that are so tired after their very long shifts, but wouldn’t change it for the world because they know that giving a few more months to a glioblastoma patient to be with their loved ones, improving the life of a young woman with early onset Parkinson’s or the saving life of a trauma patient with brain bleed, worths everything. I know this kind of videos attract more views , but take in mind other motives to go to medicine deserve some exposure. This is why I went to medicine.

I always thought that Emergency Medicine was very hectic. Guess I thought wrong

[@Camarophobic]

Actually, it is. What this video overlooks is that your shifts are not fixed; for example you can have an 8 hour night shift for 3 days followed by 1 day off then 2 days morning shift followed by 1 day off then 2 days of afternoon shift, etc... This can be very hectic and requires a certain type of personality to enjoy it.

[@mike112693]

it's hectic but it's predictable hours since it's shift work.
