Can you make a “so you want to be an oncologist”? And if you can please explain the difference between radiation oncology, medical oncology and hematology/oncology

[@kabauny]

Heme onc (HO) is a fellowship after internal medicine residency. Med onc and HO are the same. While there are some onc only fellowships, the majority are combined. They focus on benign heme, leukemia/lymphoma, and all sorts of solid tumors that requires systemic therapy. In the modern day, these can be hormone therapy, chemotherapy or immunotherapy. Some tumors requires radiation. These are treated by radiation oncologists. They do a prelim year usually in internal medicine, then a residency in rad onc. They work with physicists to create a radiation plan (how many grays for how long over how many courses). While both are are very research heavy, arguably rad onc is even more research focused because it’s a newer field. In terms of competitiveness, rad onc is much harder because there are few spots. They are much more specialized therefore defer medical management outside of radiation. Besides knowing systemic therapies, HO can also manage other medical problems like an internist (because they are one). So if you like to spending your time doing research and focus on one thing, go with rad onc. Perhaps get a degree in math/physics and apply to md PhD. If you like patient care and wouldn’t mind some research on the side, keep doing what you are doing, get into med school (hardest part), get into IM residency with an cancer center (easiest part), publish maybe 2-3 papers and a few posters over the two years while in IM (not that bad if you are focused), and apply for fellowship. It’s longer but necessary.

[@healer_9677]

zhongning chen Thanks. That was really helpful

[@kabauny]

@@healer_9677 of course! Another thing to note, for rad onc, there are about 200 spots coming out of medical school. The match rate is surprisingly 88% for 2020. But I think people only apply if they feel like they stands good chance of matching. Vs 9000 spots to internal medicine then 600 spots offered for HO. But since not every IM is applying to HO the match percentage is actually about 70%. If you are seriously about it, you’ll match.

Quick follow up questions to the whole DO vs MD likelihood of matching to competitive residencies...(not offended by the point, just want to promote discussion and thought) 1. Is it wise to limit one's med school choices by desired specialty? Pre meds have little to no clue what specialty will actually be enjoyable and rewarding to them, because they don't have the necessary clinical exposure that we'd see in our M4 years. 2. Is this difference based on the politics between MD and DO residencies, or is it because DO are less qualified for those residency positions? Most DO students elect to take the USMLE and COMLEX for Step/Level 1 together, but idk what the statistics are regarding those scores. 3. For those DO that did match into competitive residencies, what was their average USMLE score and how did it compare to the average score for MD counterparts?

[@MultiNerve]

1. No it’s not. Is it going to be hard to go into neurosurgery as a DO? Yes. It’s also hard for MD students to match into as well. It may be easier, but nonetheless, you have to work hard for it. It’s a slippery slope to consider which school to apply to and attend based on specialty choice. You could argue this until you argue “Yale or Harvard?” You should consider strength or clinical rotations and if the school has a good relationship with hospital systems. A DO school that has a home base at a top hospital system in a given state may be better than a brand new MD school that sends students across the state for rotations. Lastly, your placement in a given residency largely depends on how well YOU perform in med school. Will you have to work harder and apply to more schools as a DO, compared to an MD counterpart? Most likely. 2. The DO and MD residencies merged last year. So now every MD and DO student applies to every residency program in the US. DO students just have to take COMLEX because of politics essentially. It’s about separating DO students apart from MD students. 3. You’ll have to look at NRMP data they collect every year that answers your question on this. There’s too many residencies to answer that in one comment. But they have that data which looks at MD, DO, and IMG students on match rates

As a patient this kind of doctor scares the sh# out of me. Not just the medical people who misrepresent themselves. It's the one in this video, who uses waaay too much right wing verbage to make his point. Don't get me wrong, I believe he would "do no harm" while practicing in his profession. (at least I like to believe that) it's when he uses terms like "Woke" , "Super woke" "Morally Superior"... like that's a bad thing, to me that's a red flag. I value and respect those who have committed so much time in their chosen field but Only in their field, everything else you're just regular. The way this doctor has inserted right-wing wordiness into his very valid experience IS a form of misrepresentation. And that's the very thing he correctly says is wrong! Personally I have no doubt he and other doctors like him, will commit to do harm someone everywhere by not valuing or respecting the experience of others.

[@NishantGogna]

While it’s easier to get into an osteopathic school than an allopathic school, that’s quickly changing as getting into an osteopathic school is becoming increasingly competitive since the merger has all but killed Caribbean allopathic schools. Furthermore, DOs take the same board exams (Step) and do the same residencies as their MD counterparts. I won’t deny that high level programs (plastic surgery) still have preferences for MDs over DOs, though. It is what it is. :-/

[@MedSchoolInsiders]

Osteopathic school is “increasingly competitive” compared to what it was before but still substantially less competitive than allopathic.

[@kmp8563]

@@MedSchoolInsiders My understanding is that DO schools provide education and training that does not prepare students for the standardized tests as well as MD programs do. The difference in matching into high-level residencies might not be the result of a preference for MD over DO, but an overall difference in test scores. But I'm not sure, you should correct me if you think that's wrong.

[@NishantGogna]

@@kmp8563 maybe not 10 years ago, but today, in 2021, it’s all about teaching for the test, and that goes for MD and DO. It’s part of the reason why Step 1 went pass/fail, too much emphasis in curricula in teaching for the test, and not enough on creating well rounded doctors. But all that aside, the training is the same. It’s just that programs run by program directors that are MDs will usually have a preference for MDs, because of many reasons, but mostly because that’s what they know and that’s the system they were educated in. I don’t blame them. It is what it is. But as I said, if you peeked into a DO class today, it would be virtually identical to the MD curriculum, save for the extra class in OMM.

[@lawfence11]

They are both physicians. If you take the pre-med courses and the MCAT, then you can look at how competitive you are for MD or DO schools. Let's just say that as an MD becoming an orthopedic surgeon or cardiothoracic surgeon is very hard and as a DO is very very hard. Before worrying about whether a DO degree will limit you, I would figure out if the route to becoming a doctor is something you want to pursue, and you should consider if you're aren't able to make it in one of those more competitive specialties if you would still be happy as a doctor. The lifestyle isn't for everyone.

What do you think about the possibility of NPs being able to practice (completely) independently after 2-5 years of direct clinical experience under physician guidance? Depending also on the area of specialization. After all it is actually often needed because NPs can't necessarily treat complex conditions right after graduation. I'm not entirely sure about the comparison of the flight attendant and the pilot, since when I used to be a nurse in the ICU, it was expected of me and the other nurses to discuss cases with the physicians on an advance clinical level. For eg. I had a patient with endocarditis, and it was I who first suggested that it was the cause of my patients LOC due to a septic emboli, and furthermore that it was a fungal infection and not a bacterium because the antibiotics were not responsive and nothing was growing on cultures. I was nurse and not a physician, but my input was super valuable to the physicians and ultimately saved our patient. It was not an isolated case, it also happened with a patient who had a fever of unknown origins and another obese patient with a dislocated shoulder etc.

Comparing nurse/doctor with flight attendant/pilot is incredibly cringe and very very on brand for a plastic surgeon

[@theawanonymouscaller]

That speaks to your own biases as well. Much like nurses and doctors are both integral to the health and safety of patients, pilots and flight attendants are also crucial to flight safety. Flight attendants aren't just there to push a cart and give you pretzels. They maintain the safety of the flight and undergo extensive safety training to handle normal safety operations and handle various emergency situations. They undergo training in leadership, fire suppression, and know how to evacuate an aircraft in less than a minute.

[@lavenderblues]

It makes a lot of sense

[@gplifeau]

Yeah sure, I understand that. There's just something about it that *sounds* incredibly egotistical, particularly when the accompanying graphic was in fact a woman pushing a cart handing out pretzels. The whole thing doesn't do justice to the variety of roles and practice contexts that RNs can adopt. I regularly advise med school hopefuls to consider nursing if they're really interested in health, particularly if they're unlikely to get a med school spot or I think they'll struggle when they do get in. In my field (I'm a rural/remote medicine and ED trainee) RNs are almost universally extremely competent and independent with a scope that significantly overlaps that of doctors.

A DO is clearly not appropriate for prospective neurosurgeons, but many people go into med school knowing they want to be a family physician and a DO is fine for that. An RN may help you kick similar goals with fewer hurdles and a quicker start to your career. It's just not good career advice to force people down a single track without considering other options.

Point taken, but I'd rather have a CRNA performing my anesthesia than an anesthesiologist because CRNA'S perform about 80% of anesthetics while anesthesiologists spend most of their time doing pre-ops, post-ops, and trading stocks. I've been a practicing CRNA for over 20 years and clearly have better technical skills than a substantial portion of MDA's. I'm not anti MD (my son is in medical school and I hope that he chooses anesthesia for his specialty). I'd also be the 1st to admit that a good MDA is probably better than a good CRNA, but I'd rather have a good CRNA than a mediocre MDA.

Much in this video is true, but I'm not sure how it applies to "wokeness" which seems to be a recurring theme in recent videos. Political correctness has more to do with identity politics, like race/ethnicity/gender etc. Whether you're an MD, DO, NP, RN etc as an isolated variable has little impact on your privileges in society apart from maybe socioeconomic status and certain accesses. A PA from a rich white family can be more "privileged" than an MD from a poor brown family. So, yes people are always gonna get offended over dumb shit, but I don't think it should be conflated with calling out actual social/political justice issues.

He used the term political correctness because he knew it would please a certain crowd and gain their approval. Being anti SJW on your platform is actually not controversial at all and is very popular (I believe it’s actually called “based” now), people just like to pretend its controversial so they can victimise themselves and feel better about themselves not being “woke”, and thinking they are a paragon for free speech. When in reality nothing in the vid he said was controversial.

Good video but it could've gone without all the jabs at wokeness like ? Just focus on the med school stuff

[@darkhawk12]

Wokeness in this day and age is a joke, and I’d say dangerous even but I dont think ppl are ready for that conversation. Ppl try to signal « woke » thoughts to appear morally superior when in actuality a lot of these ideas are very poorly explored and rely heavily on bullying/mischaracterizing and critics/opposing POVs. So, I for one welcome the jabs to wokeness :)

[@aomardelta]

@@darkhawk12 Ok then what? Does it really bother people that much? If you know someone is virtue signaling for the sake of virtue signaling then ignore them. Wtf is dangerous about it anyways.

[@darkhawk12]

Not even talking about virtue signallers. They’re annoying for sure but more importantly a lot of current woke ideas are just bad, to put it simply. And if you try to argue against them in good faith, you’ll automatically get mischaracterized because they’re in the center of current public moral hierarchy. For instance, « cultural safety » training in canadian residency programs teach that you can be racist against POC, but not against white people. Aside from being nonsensical and dumb, goodluck even debating against this type of thinking without being chracterized as someone who wants to hold up white supremacy or something.

[@drin9401]

You do realize that you’re flexing on your “wokeness” by being woke about the wokeness trend, right? I’ve noticed you’ve been bringing it up a lot and it’s getting kind of repetitive. You’re giving off a very arrogant character, especially ever since you left plastic surgery, and it’s not a good look. Might want to evaluate it and humble yourself a bit as you try to become the next millionaire/billionaire you clearly aspire to be. Just thought I’d speak up on it. Otherwise, great video!

[@nikolashernandez7128]

Agreed.

[@garrett3392]

Sounds like you're offended..

[@Amy-se5ld]

The anti woke nonsense is almost as annoying as the obsessively pc nonsense 🤥

[@MA-yu2ss]

Your comment is downvoted to the bottom lol, definitely touched a nerve. Seems people getting offended isn’t bad when it’s the not the based department being snowflakes.
