I live in Aus, currently attempting to get into medical school as I've completed my undergrad. One of my friends in PGY1 says his lifestyle as an intern is amazing, attends concerts and multiple social events throughout his weeks - not just weekends. He is still really busy but from what I've gathered, his and other interns' work-life balance and quality of living is great considering the positions they hold.
Kenji pls don’t stop making content I watch all your videos … I learn bare from you 😎 I literally want to become a gp because of you currently a nursing student
@@DoctorKenji I have friends in Australia who told me it's more or less a law to have 4 patients per 1 nurse. Just not an option here. Still, as I'm coming to the end of my first placement on first year, I've loved it and learned so so much from a lot of RNs, but even from Doctors and Anaesthetists.
I think people should really consider coming to Germany! I moved out of UK and the NHS Hell! I finished my residency in germany and during my residency I got a decent pay. I made a starting salary of around 70K+ and in the last years about a 100K+/year. And after residency a lot more options with better pay are available! The german healthcare is a huge markert for doctors and you can almost get into any speciality of choice. You just have to learn German to B2 level. The work life balance can be managed pretty well but of course it isn't all Hunky Dory. And if you get sick of Germany, you can just move to Austria or Switzerland.
Not just doctors, i'm a admin 6 years looking at emigrating to Oz, place has gone to the dogs this last few years and I guess we're getting our pay rise late again this year?!
i work in the NHS and i always wanted to be a dr however looking at makes me not even become one, the work load is too much and its really worrying in the future. you come home drained
Hi Kenji, great video! Interested in moving to Australia myself. Just wondering what agency was willing to help with your flights and visa? Definitely a huge upfront cost to those 🙏
hey Kenji,lately im watching your videos and learning for NHS.I'm currently living in Germany and learning the language so i can work as a doctor.My girlfriend and her sister are both doctors and working in the german health care system.From what i see until now,i can only say that im dissapointed.There is always lack of staff and the working hours are horrendous(she has to work at least 3-4 extra hours per day).To be fair the salary is good, 3500 euros basic income plus 1500 for the nightshifts/weekend shifts.The truth is that i'm already registered on the NHS but i paused my account,so i'm in a big dillema.I wanted to ask if you need to do overtime daily and if you are satisfied with the training,because my girlfriend call herself a wellpaid secretary.I'm thinking of it everyday to come to uk.
I am about to start my college and have just completed shcool , I want to be a doctor and have been wanting to go to the UK ( i am from India) so i have got a long period of time to migrate to any country still as i plan to complete mbbs from india first but my question is that should I move to the UK to practice medicine or should I think of changing my mind? And how can i enjoy atleast some luxuries in the uk like owning a decent house and rest all not too fancy but decent high standard of living in the uk?
I think it is a good way for students to enter medical training with lower debt. My only thoughts would be to consider what the trade off may be, including having to work admin jobs as part of the NHS in return and how that may affect your college/university experience. If that is something that the student is happy with, then that's great :)
Sad. NHS pays peanuts. Sister did medicine at HYMS and now gone ro Canada. My brother did maths degree and masters all with 4 years. Made £160k by 2nd year out of university. She sould not make that even 10 years after qualifying. She is now making $320k in Canada in Oncology and has a beautiful 5 bedroom property
Hey, I'm a med student and I was wondering about life as a Dr in Canada. Did your sister go to Canada as a fully UK trained consultant or did she leave part way through her NHS oncology training programme?

That is great to hear! This is what I am talking about!!! :P
The pros for staying seem very weak. Make sure you're strong enough not to give in to fear of change
Great video as usual Kenji, really interesting. Will be looking forward to hearing about your transition to Australia nearer to the time
Thank you so much! I haven’t made any plans as of yet 😊
Kenji pls don’t stop making content I watch all your videos … I learn bare from you 😎
I literally want to become a gp because of you currently a nursing student
How does a nursing student become a GP 😂

Kenji well done you. Enjoy and explore. Actually, you have answered my question. Now I understand English doctors
Thank you!
Nurses too.
I’ve considered Canada or Australia for the +2 years after graduation
It’s very popular for them too! I was speaking generally for many U.K. staff also

@@theamazingshorts7782 yes sure … takes about year to learn it well enough. But it’s not that hard if you speak English natively.

I wonder if the situation is same in north.ireland, scotland and England?

What do you think of the upcoming medical degree apprenticeship scheme? would love to hear your thoughts on it :)

My only thoughts would be to consider what the trade off may be, including having to work admin jobs as part of the NHS in return and how that may affect your college/university experience.

You said you work 60 to 70 hours a week? I have heard 48 h a week is standard for docs in uk?
Or these hours are for FY docs only?
It is 48 hours a week averaged across a month. Sometime we work 7/8 days straight. Other days we only work 4 days. It varies.

Pay is a sad reality 🥲

@@shawnjoseph3432 she did training in Canada.
I can come visit you in AUS
Loool welcome bro
Sir how much will you earn as a doctor in Australia? Plz reply. Thanks a lot.
I'm so sad You will working in Australia. In UK NHS need more doctors.
Watch the video until the end 😊
Yeah as Kenji says, it’s merely a possibility, as it is for the majority of UK doctors at the moment 🙂
The UK needs to try harder to retain Doctors. We don't work for free. I'm glad to have made the jump to Australia
