I had so much fun watching this, Kevin! I think the basis of my decision was the realisation that I love being in clinic much more than in the wards, I can imagine this sounding weird to most doctors! Been in residency for 8 months so far and absolutely loving it. Let's see if I feel the same once I'm an independently practicing GP.

If I were in the US or back home in India, I would definitely be doing IM. There's no "pure IM" in the UK and GP is the closest it gets to a broad specialty.

[BeckettCole]

Could you consider a “so you picked the wrong specialty” video on how people switch specialties after residency?

Radiologists will not be replaced by AI soon. At most, it will become a useful tool, and radiologists who use it will outperform the ones who dont. The day radiology is completely automated, other specialties are doomed as well, no doubt

Just to clarify, Foundation year training is equivalent to intern year - it’s not between M4 and internship. For the countries that follow the uk system, the intern year is separate from residency.

Very helpful video, Dr. Kevin! Choosing a specialty is a significant decision, and it's natural to have concerns about making the wrong choice. By Choosing a specialty that aligns with your interests, passions, and values is crucial for long-term job satisfaction. Also consider the lifestyle implications of your chosen specialty, as it can significantly impact your work-life balance. 🙌❤

7:00 mental health treatment is a bit of a disaster in the UK due to long term underfunding. It can take a very long time before you can see a specialist. Unfortunately this is doubly true for children. The GP often has to take on this responsibility.

[DrBilly]

Choosing a specialty based on your experiences as a med student is like deciding you wanna be a rock star after going to your first concert.

[neurogal]

Perfect timing for a specialty choice video. I thought it would be a good idea to be “open minded” going into clerkships but all my preceptors are hounding me to figure it out soon.

[ceciliai.ogwude]

Well i graduated 5 years ago and I still cant make up my mind what to specialize in. His video resonated with me so deeply.

[wdeemarwdeemar]

I have worked in hospitals for 22 years. The best MD/DO specialty is cardiologist notably interventional or EP. They had a lot of down time and seem happier and very little stress and better family dynamics from what I can tell. They often walked around the hospital and chit chatted. Although I am a RN I was in administration many years and got to watch many specialities over 5-10 year periods of time. I had one who would do echos in between her cases and panel due to boredom which caused the techs to have meltdown. My context for best is the chillest in terms of low stress and little quality, peer review, and UM oversight. Also pay in terms of actual work.

My comment is actually regarding the product you advertised. So how do we know the company won’t sell our health data to insurance companies?

[scisorkarn]

Why does everyone always think that radiology will be the first to be replaced by AI? The only AI (ChatGPT) that is reasonably useful in everyday clinical practice is language-based. No AI I know of is anywhere near as good at analyzing images as the ones currently available are at writing text. Could you please explain in more detail why radiology will be the first to be replaced?

Dear Dr. Jubbal
I am a medical doctor living in Turkey and about to choose my specialty. As a male doctor, I am really undecided whether to choose OB/GYN. I am especially undecided between urology and OB/GYN. I am a keen follower of your channel and I would especially like to watch your personal views on OB/GYN . Could you please post a video of ''Why I didn't choose OB/GYN?''
Kind regards

The GP can be really important. After all the stories I’ve seen about misdiagnosed cancers I think the skill of the GP is critical.

[StepandBeyond]

I'm interested in primary care (mainly outpatient), but I'm not sure if I should do FM or IM. I'm leaning IM because I don't want to rule out specializing (and I may not be the same person in the future), but I also feel like IM outpatient docs are at a disadvantage cuz they can't see kids or do ObGyn.

[MerajAhmad-kyzf]

Please make a video on "so you wat to be an aerospace medicine physician?"

[starlight]

Can you do a video on how to switch residency programs?

[camijuana]

please analyze match rates to categorical general surgery after a GS prelim spot. So many imgs/fmgs do this and im doubting the match rate after

[manuelparra]

What is the Best country for residency in medicine? Germany? Australia? UK? US? For foreign. that has the best balance between work-life and salary. Thanks

[rizz]

Are you all getting paid for residency? If yes, how much?
