      Plastics is brutal. A ton of plastics students end up switching to derm because you can do some invasive stuff but you have a better work life balance. And tbh you can make better money (when looking at hours) in derm if you have some business sense.

      @@xxxXKPoPXxxx yes, because "a ton" of students wanting to become a surgeon will settle for "some invasive stuff" here and there...thats not how it works. Surgeons are different from other doctors

    • @xxxXKPoPXxxx
      @xxxXKPoPXxxx 5 ปีที่แล้ว +28

      Mattia Binotto surgeons are physicians that perform more invasive procedures. Most have office hours where they consult patients like "regular" physicians do and they have one or two days in the week they actually perform surgery. The difference is time dedicated to being a surgeon but they are physicians as are family physicians and every other person finishing residency with an MD or DO. It's not a sin to want to be a plastic surgeon in med school, get accepted to residency, and then look at your life in perspective and realize you want more personal time and have other aspirations. As a surgeon, your time will be dedicated to surgery for 5+ years and only surgery. If you're smart enough to get into plastic surgery then you are smart enough to enter dermatology-another competitive specialty that won't take up all your free time. In fact, dermatology is harder to get into than general surgery residencies. I get what you are saying. I was exaggerating when I say a ton switch from plastics to derm though I know a handful. I don't however understand the point of saying surgeons are different from other doctors. Different motivation in terms of work life balance teetering towards work maybe but fundamentally they are all physicians.

Basically near the end of medical school, you fill out a survey of some specialties you want to go into for residencies. A residency is basically a paid internship under an expert in their field of study so you can gain more experience. Regardless, the places you apply for receives the answers to your survey, but in the end it is up to them to choose if they want to hire you on as an intern.

    Interesting process and tradition. Here in Germany we finish medical school and then we just apply privately by ourselves to whatever institution we are interested in - basically like every other profession. No centralised system, just normal CVs, interviews etc. Due to a general lack of doctors we have the luxury of having a job almost guaranteed and being able to get into almost any field (with few exceptions) with almost any grades. The competition in the US seems to be intense, I am happy I will be able to choose my speciality and location, not being 'matched'.

      Matching is for residency, which is still considered part of your training, so if you are a foreigner who has completed their training they probably don't need it
      But in most cases when foreign doctors come to the US they actually have to redo the same process and get American certification (MD, residency, etc.) so they have just as much debt as American students.

      Donna Woodford well. You do rotations in multiple specialties during 3rd and 4th year of med school and then you apply for residency in one (or more though it's hard) speciality. Internship is the first year of residency where you transition into doctor responsibilities. So there's many choices but you can't just apply to all the specialities and hope to get into one. It's expensive to do that many interviews and people typically have a certain type of medicine they like or they do more generalist specialties like internal med.

      It means they find out what they're doing for the rest of their lives basically. They pick a list of specialty preferences and see which they "match" into.

      When u'r done with medical school in the US ( which is 4 years of undergrad followed by an exam called MCAT + interviews which is insanely competitive and then 4 years of medicine followed by an exam called the USMLE which has 4 parts which all take 1 whole day to complete each ) you then go for interviews to get accepted for a specialty (or as we call it, matching) and that is when you finally begin your career as a doctor. Note that when you match you are said to be in "residency" which means you are training to become for e.g a plastic surgeon.
      Now coming back to your question, match day is the day that you see where you matched, what specialty and where and as you can guess, it's probably the most important day for all doctors. It's when you can finally say, i've made it. After nearly a whole decade of tireless studying, i can now put a Dr. in front of my name.

      @@shankhamitrapaul6370 yes i think so. As long you do the USMLE Step 1, 2 & 3 you will be qualified to apply for residency. Note that step 2 can only be done in the US (chicago specifically) so you'd have to make US Visa arrangements for that.
      Once you're done with all the steps of the USMLE, you can then apply for residency and depending on your USMLE marks, performance in the interviews and to some extent "contacts and university reputation" you will get matches.
      I hope i was helpful.

    • @mogamethanu
      @mogamethanu 4 ปีที่แล้ว +44

      You're notified a week or two in advanced about whether you matched or not. Then, you scramble to match somewhere if you did not match in the initial process as Rick said above. You do not know where you matched (be it your first to your last choice) until match day. In other words, you find out live where you are going while announcing it to the world. As a medical student, I understand how wonderful this may look to an outsider, but I dread this day

      You "scramble" and find any residency you can that will take you, even if it's a different specialty. If that doesn't work you have to wait until next year, and your chances of matching plummet. It really determines the rest of your life.

    I’m so confused. I’m a junior doctor in South Africa. This is my 3rd as a doctor currently doing community service.
    We graduate after 6 years of Medical school, apply for a 2 year internship program online. Get randomly placed at hospitals and then apply for a 1 year program of community service.
    After that you’re on your own.
    If you want to specialize you send a CV to your speciality of choice at the hospitals/universities you want, hope to get called back for an interview and cross your fingers for placement as a registrar in that field.

      Mmala Mokone oh it’s quite different here . The match , is how you move into specialty. And you must be accepted it’s not random. The hospital/academic system chooses you based on multiple factors. Very curious, do you know if the South African MD is recognized by US? Or would one have to take the USMlE?

    • @aleksap5459
      @aleksap5459 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      It's different in Australia, too. 4-6 years of medical school (4 if graduate, 6 if you're out of high school), then one year as an intern at a hospital in which you are placed. Then after that you apply to be an RMO. During your residency at a hospital you'll apply to various specialty colleges while looking for employment in your chosen field to train and become a specialist.
