Poor family medicine, The most important and arguably most difficult specialty and also one of the worst paid

[kansasmypie]

Why is it that the least competitive doctor specialties are the most interesting?

[Arantxiwi]

Family medicine, the best of the medical specialties <3

[randomyoutuber]

Family medicine specialists are paid well in Canada. Average is $450k-$500k a year for 40 hour weeks in BC :)

Rural family doctors make even more! Saying this from personal experience as I am in this specialty

[LifeWithJuan]

0:45 That's an interesting graphic to use for ENT 😂

[morganminelli]

Would you guys please do videos on the specialities middle of the pack. We only ever hear about those on either end of the spectrum which doesn’t provide those of us interested in those other specialities with a lot of information. Just a thought

I'm shocked OBGYN isn't on here with the poor work life balance.

[BrockMDol]

I'm more surprised that my beloved PM&R is getting more competitive. 😭 On the one hand, I'm glad it's getting more attention as a worthy specialty. But on the other hand, who keeps running their mouth and making it more competitive?!

[Aaron-ccyq]

Just here trying to narrow down my specialty for dual applying LOL

[_s.h.a.w_.n_]

please do the speciality of respirology pulmonologist

[sitabarbarella]

Soy patóloga. Huye me dijo una prof y no le hice caso 😢

[Joeythegoats]

I’m studying neurology rn and i hate it

[Number-wv]

how competitive is diagnostic radiology?

[bryuanmathis]

Can you do “So you want to be a CRNA?” I’m very interested and would love to know more about the career

[ItsAsparageese]

WHERE THE ENTIRE HECK IS RURAL? 😠

There's no way it's not in this range. Or is it considered to be folded in with family, as outpatient primary care? I'd argue that it carries sufficiently different implications, given the usually comparatively smaller amount of resources, the broader inter-specialty range of care provided, and the greater proportion of social/public health work.

It could have at least been given a nod in the family med section, or an honorable mention as a not-officially-a-specialty specialty. Way to contribute (albeit surely unintentionally) to the lack of awareness of and interest in this critical need area. 😑 I love your work in general, and oversights happen, I ain't mad per se ... but it is certainly an oversight, and I'm disappointed. (You can make it up to me by making a video focused on it. 😜)

Anesthesiology is so much more competitive in my country it's funny

[tgreetsy]

This is all using post soap stats. EM is bottom of the barrel pre soap

[ST-wcws]

Anesthesiology definitely surprised me.

[PHILLYMEDIC]

WOO HOO I’m going to go to medical school this fall and gonna become a doctor! I wanna be a family doctor.

[Peter-ltrv]

For everyone still looking at 2023, this list is totally outdated. EM is now probably around FM level. Psychiatry and anesthesiology are a lot higher now as well, the match for psychiatry is not based on numbers but rather focused on the individual
