How to Choose a Medical Specialty

My goal is to reduce educational disparities by making education FREE.
These videos help you score extra points on medical school exams (USMLE, COMLEX, etc.)

Some videos contain mild profanity and hyperbole solely used to assist with memorization. Viewer discretion advised.

Really love the way you broke this down, as a MS3 who is interested in everything, I feel like this video was a good starting point for me to begin reflecting.

Thank you for this movie. I especially appreciated the realistic tone with which you tackled this important subject. Well-done. Keep these great videos coming.

the financial advice was def something i think about as an ms2 now, i really lke pediatrics, but I'm def not blessed to have a lot of financial support going through med school...so its a lot to think about objectively.

My interests: clinical neurology
Environment I wanna work in: inpatient and/ or outpatient neurology
My limitations: anything related to surgery
How much money: enough to be comfortable
I know only neuro is going to make me happy, so I’d rather find a way to be successful in it. But I understand that not everyone got swept away by a specialty so looking at the whole picture is important! Great video 👏🏼👏🏼
(Also important to note that I’m an IMG. I’m glad I like neuro because it’s not the hardest for imgs to match and also my parents paid for my tuition in my home country).

best video on topic. every other video on YouTube is an absolute waste of time. this video is 100 % authentic.

Most of the physicians I work with in Endo live on like 80K a year. They all live pretty humbly and then they take the rest of their 100K and invest it each year on stocks and local business. I know one who owns a few restraunts in town and then just pays from that spots revenue to have someone manage it for him. They all make lots more then the better paid residency because they make 3 or 4 Times what they do at the hospital because of their investment.

Moral is that if you live like a normal upper middle class person and make your money work for you then you will be filthy rich no matter your speciality.

I did Psychiatry for a while but found out i didn't like it, so switched into pediatrics best decision ever. Ped is lucrative where i am practicing.

Another question to ask yourself:

Rank the bodily fluids from most to least acceptable

Sweat, blood, tears, saliva, mucous, urine, pus, feces.

Do you think neurology is an "above average" specialty in regards to pay? I really like the field, but oof those loans :P

Love it! Great video and audio quality too

Man ! This was an epic con and a really helping one in my choice of profession . I personally picked up oncology since it has to have exponential growth in years to come with unhealthy lifestyles so on so forth and it has little to do with anatomy knowledge and its more on cellular and genetics level of science and research and I LOVE MYSELF SOME DOPEASS AND REAL RESEARCH! 😄

Thanks, I was studying when the notification popped up.

[penguintables]

you didn't mention diagnostic or interventional radiology on any slide so i'm wondering where that falls in terms of all four aspects??

[theberberprincess]

Pretty useful video, but I'm an English Literature student; please tell me what to do. lol

I loveee neurosurgery but the only problem is the long hour duties and not very good neurosurgical departments in my city. Also the lack of female neurosurgeons makes me very scared that I won’t have alot of friends lol 😂😪
