@@shirinsyed maybe you should explain the cost of your schooling before giving a so called inspirational speech. I'll say it all day. I wish I lived in the UK. You're video came up and you're forgetting to disclose alot of details. My kids are watching and taking inspiration while I have to explain to them that the only way their going to get into college is through scholarships because I cants afford a school bill that is more than my annual income! The typical student loans and at a four year University is 45,000....for a BA. I make 32,000 annually. My bad..I forgot that the university stopped free tuition, however a agree costs atleast in 2017 cost almost $14,000usd. Which would have been equivalent to the costs of a degree in the 70's.

Do me one favor? If you're in the business of helping people...don't do it! Do a search of US doctors leaving their profession because their patients couldn't afford to be seen Spoiler....they tried to find out why their patients were paying so much and nobody internally could answer. Alot of doctors here in the US have left the medical racketeering business.funny thing is my fiance no insurance costs less because there is no insurance company to negotiate every single thing that happens. Do do it if you're in the business of helping and curing people. The healthcare here sucks if you don't have the money for decent insurance. I don't know the benefits of doctors...but when someone gets annual raise the same year the health insurance increases and you go home with an extra .20 cents after the deduction....you mind as well just punch them in the face because that's how much that means to me and thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions of Americans feel.

Breaking your financial independence goals into small pieces can help you stay on track while making the process a little more manageable and hopefully a little less stressful.

What we call undergrad and medical school in the US is an 8 year program--4 years each. THen we follow with residency for 3-5 years and fellowship for 1-3 additional years depending on specialty. In the UK, the BS and medical school are usually combined into one 6 year program. Then continued training equivalent to residency and fellowship is 5-10 years depending on specialty. These come out almost the same if you consider the years of training post high school....they are just called different things and have slightly different structures. In my own example, training was a total of 15 years post high school to become a sub-specialist...4 years undergrad, 4 years med school, 4 years residency, 3 years fellowship. The same level of training in the UK (where I have lived) would be 15-16 years.

The simple reason to move to US is the salary, why sugar-coat it, sound pious and religious and say it taboo to talk. Lets be practical, every doctor in the world dreams of settling down in the US where the salaries start from $300,000 to $700,000 as a consultant doctor with quarterly bonus of $50,000, plus profit sharing if in private practise. Also the advantage of low housing costs in smaller cities in US compared to absurd pigeon holes in Central London to mediocre terraced or detached housing in Greater London. Also, another advantage is weather, if you get into sunshine states in Florida, California etc compared to horrible weather in UK.

But in the US people also have to do undergrad which is more years than the UK. Also even though American doctors get paid more in the end of the day they still have student debt (which you won’t have), pay malpractice insurance which is crazy high, you also have to account for the fact that the UK is more socialist so you’ll be paying for your own dental appointments etc. face value it’s more but it’s really not that different.

does the American health care system prevent you from caring for those without insurance ? Being a Dr and going to a nation with one of the least developed healthcare system which prioritize those who can afford it rather than just caring for everyone at any age or financial situation ?

I can't speak for the whole country, but from my experience so far, we CANNOT and WOULD NEVER turn someone away who doesn't have insurance. The social workers help patients who can't afford treatment to enrol in medicare and medicaid. All patients who are admitted to the medicine team are accepted regardless of their financial status. I have never had to ask a patient about their insurance. We also have a free clinic which we rotate in as residents which are specifically for patients who do not have health insurance.

Welcome to America! Salaries and everything are good unless you make one mistake which you can get away in UK and Canada; but not in US. Malpractice insurance and licensure will be suspended for good. No one will insure you. Salaries were great but US now is going to through much more regulations to cut salaries and increase work load on doctors. Its used to be great for doctors to earn great salaries in US. Not anymore. you probably don't have students loans back in uk, so its seems much more salary. In UK people don't pay 300000 usd for medical school but in US they do. Doctors in UK are trained much better than US. field specific training is better in America. In US, no protocols, not the same respect and much heavy responsibility is there on doctor's shoulders. The other thing that is happening in America is that patients have right to choose their own doctors; not necessarily directly sent to the specialist by the GP. if a patient doesn't like a doctor, they can ask for change.

Which country to live in would be better,,, and which state would benefit?

How did you skip how medical school is longer in the US. 4 years of college and 4 years of medical school. Plus $200,000+ student loans from med school. We get paid more because we have huge loads of loans.

Exactly, she is putting wrong information out there and some fools will follow her video and screw up their life.

[@abdelhakmeddoc5568]

no need to go through medical School in the US before becoming a doctor in the US because she is IMG: international Medical Graduate. IMGs can become doctors in the US even if they got their degree outside the US. If you study medicine in the US, you will have + $200k but at the time you will 98% to get accepted in the US and become a doctor but as an IMG, it is only around 50%

@@sabaamir8654 she compared RESIDENCY trainings not medical studies so it is true that it is shorter in the US than UK. In the US you study at College and you get a degree then you try to get into medical school that's why the total is 8 years. in the UK, we only study for 5 years but directly at the medical school. No need to go into college first then medical school

@@sabaamir8654 she's already a doctor so US medical school is irrelevant for her...

Heyy, shireen! I don't usually comment on youtube videos. Probably it's my first one! But all i wanna say is i just lovee your videos. Followed you on Instagram a year back and it's always very exciting to watch your IG stories and your posts. Your Ramadan journey and newsletter were super amazing. I used to read it everyday! I can relate so much to your video, like being in a LDR for 3 years and studying for steps and moving across the world. Felt so delighted to watch your video! Lots of love!♥️ keep up the great work. P.s would love to hear your whole story some day no matter how long the video gets.😉

Hi Zainab! Thank you so much for such a sweet comment and for your support - it means so much! I love how much we have in common! I look forward to sharing even more :)

[@hibaalessa1354]

May I know if i will be able to have a job in the US if i did my PhD and GMC registration in the UK. As I am not from the UK also. Will age reduces my chances?

[@bayofbengal7170]

Moral of the story is if you want to make serious money after medical school and not worry about paying back tuition fees, student loans, then move to the USA.

[@faithlesshound5621]

Don't worry, far more doctors come to work in the NHS from India and Pakistan than emigrate from the UK to the USA, so overall the UK taxpayer gains from whoever pays for medical education in South Asia.

Hey did you do your foundation year training here in the UK before moving ?

[@shirinsyed]

Nope! I didn't!

[@vincewarren1271]

How do you get into medical school at 18? Here in the US we have to do 4 years of regular college, obtain a bachelor's degree and then go to medical school for another 4 to 5 years. Then residency for 3 to 7 years.

[@shirinsyed]

Hi Vince! In the UK we don't do undergrad. We go straight from school (at 18) and can apply for medical school. However, our medical school is a little longer. Mine was 6 years, USA is 4 years of undergrad and 4 years of medschool. Our 'residency' training in england is 10-12 years. So USA ends up being shorter in the long term. I moved to the USA after medical school :)

[@vincewarren1271]

@@shirinsyed so now your residency is shorter now that you're in the US correct?

[@shirinsyed]

@@vincewarren1271 Correct! I explain it in this video too :)
