    I dropped out of residency to work on my business full time. Always wondered if I should have done pathology haha. No regrets leaving medicine but I think it's really important people don't brush off specialties like pathology especially if patient contact burns you out after a day of work.

    as a third year med school i do really consider pathology, less paperwork and less patient contact - radiology is although making a strong concurrent to pathology :D
    but as you said: this lot of sitting is scary

    I ended my medical school a year ago, which I have joined in the first place in relation to my passion and love to genetics, medical biotech and drug discovery. But obviously “medical school” meant to a great extent “clinical work”, while the above mentioned fields are much more covered in basic and translational research.
    In fact, I didn’t build any background in research that would support me applying for Phd or other research positions smoothly for one reason or another. My plan was to, prepare for the USMLE steps to get certified and do the residency in the US to build on my MD, and during or after the residency, I could figure my way out to these fields in research, and this also would give me the benefit of being a wanted physician, and not just a fund-based employee.
    My question , also regarding research along with pathology residency, is that " could i do basic or translational research along with pathology residency, will i have the time with residency work to achieve this, or it will drive me away from this?". This doesn't mean i will do the pathology residency as a secondary thing.

    • @Baking_MD
      @Baking_MD  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes you can do both, but usually such opportunities are only at the larger academic centers. You would want to the pathology scientist track, but you will be competing with lots of MD/PhD.

    Thanks a lot for the video. I’m a Nigerian medical student. I would love to be a pathologist. Done with both steps but couldn’t get a visa for a rotation. How else do I show my interest to the field while in medical school and during my internship year in Nigeria. I’m doing a pathology research here, is that good? What other things can I do increase my chances? Also, what are the chances of getting a job after residency?

    • @Baking_MD
      @Baking_MD  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The best way to show interest is to do rotations in the US, especially at academic centers. Job options for IMGs are more limited due to visa sponsorship limitations, but I am unsure of the details.

    How I wish grossing wasn't as important as it is otherwise path would be a dream.There's something about handling dead tissue that's so eerie to me

    • @Baking_MD
      @Baking_MD  ปีที่แล้ว

      As a pathologist, you can find a job without doing autopsies. However, as a pathologist you will be involved in grossing to some degree. From supervising PAs and residents in academics to doing your own gross in private jobs.

    Do you think that as a pathologist, your personal ability to practice medicine disappears? If, let's say, there was some kind of emergency and you were one of the few doctors available, that you could act as a primary care physician or ER doc to a greater or lesser extent? If not, do you know how a pathologist can keep themselves somewhat sharp so that they can still offer medical treatment and diagnosis if the need ever arose? Pathology is very attractive

    • @Baking_MD
      @Baking_MD  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I still retain a lot of medical knowledge from medical school, can feel comfortable giving very basic medical advice to my friends and family. But if an medical emergency happens, I probably won't be much help.
