I’m a senior in high school but I’m planning on the pre med track for university. I hope, if I shadow a physician they are just as cool and welcoming as you!
Good luck! It's a fantastic field and I'm sure you'll find a great mentor.
I’m a second year premed student interested in Dermatology and I just received confirmation of my first shadowing opportunity with a Dermatologist. I’m sort of nervous and doing so much research on what I should do. I hope she’s this warm and welcoming!
Gurl update us!!! 😩
yesss! loved this longer video! I think she's going to make an awesome doctor. So amazing that she wants to take her education back to her island.
ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE OUTRO. Your daughter is sooo darn cute!!
She was very inspirational and how cool that her mom was the first female physician in Micronesia! And yah - Arya does a way better job at outros than I do!
Your smile and your energy doc is contagious...
this entire video is so wholesome agh,,
I'm trying to shadow a doctor too! this has been so helpful thanks.
I appreciate this so much! I’ll be starting pre med in 2021, so it’s so helpful to hear what attendings expect of their students. It makes the whole experience much less intimidating. Thank you, Dr. Wong!
Thank you dr, that was really helpful! I needed to have an idea of how dr shadowing will be like
I appreciate how sweet you were! Thx again!
Good video! I'll be going to college this fall & have been watching A LOT of videos on how to apply yourself to really do well as a pre-med to up your chances of getting accepted into a med school later on and this video did really well at providing me with an insight on what it's like to shadow and what to expect, what to do & what not to do, so thank you!
I'm so glad it was helpful! Good luck with your application. It's an amazing field!
I love that ending!! She's so cuuuute.
I got a lasik eye surgery ad before this video began 😂
Crazy how I’m also in Hawai’i looking for a doctor to shadow.
You’ll probably be hearing from me soon lol
That's so great! Actually because of COVID, we have stopped having students shadow for the time being. But, UH med school still has rotations available!
@@DrRupaWong thank you!!! ❤
You are such a great doctor!
Ophthalmology is a very difficult profession.
That is why helping your own children with life-time prevention, is so important on a scientific level.
I always dream of Ophthalmologists helping me in that manner.
It is difficult but always worth it! I hope you can find a doctor you trust.
Your daughter is your miniiiiii🥺❤️
Aww thank you!!!!!!
Dr. Wong, could you touch on color deficiency? I have severe color deficiency as a female and am curious to hear your thoughts on it!
do you have any advice for high school seniors who are planning on attending medical school and later becoming an ophthalmologist? 🙆🏻♀️ your videos are great by the way
Priya’s ending!!! She is just the cutest little kid!!!
Thanks Liz!
you are so amazing!!!!
im 14 and many people in my family are doctors but they all live in dominican republic which is were i was born , i live in florida now ever since i was 5 since i moved here from dominican republic , i really want to find a doctor to shadow and also i really want to know things i should do as a young kid with the mindset of being a doctor in the future , can you make a video on that!!!!
You still have plenty of time. Wait until the pandemic is under better control just to minimize your risk of exposure. And, then, after, ask friends of your parents, friends from church, anyone who you might have a connection with about shadowing them if they are a physician.
So funny how you pick on your husband if he happened to be in the camera. I would like to to see a 'a day in life of Dr. Rupa Wong's husband'. All about your husband :)
Would love to hear from you about patching treatment for amblyopia? And also about post madriatic test and how you prescribe glasses in kids ?
Regards,

I'm new here but I think you would be a great teacher with how carrying you are to teach both the pre-med and your patient so that they understand.
It would be great to see you making an opthtalmic exploration... maybe to one of your kids??? Thanks so much for your videos!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩
You mean how to do an eye exam on a kid? That's a great idea!
@@DrRupaWong exactly!! Sorry for my english 😓
Álvaro Y your English is great. Never apologize for that. My Spanish grammar is terrible. It’s been so long since I have spoken
Would bringing a bigger iPad Pro around for notes be excessive? It’s the size of a notebook but I’m thinking it could be perceived as "extra." Great video btw and your daughter is adorable
Can you post anything on sun/age spots?
Exactly
what are the economics of medicine in Hawaii. I've heard different things but would be insightful to hear what your thoughts were. Is the overall compensation lower vs the mainland even though the cost of living is very high?
Yes, unfortunately reimbursements are significantly lower. Medicare reimburses Hawaii physicians at the same pay rate as physicians in central Ohio. As you may know, the cost of living between Ohio and Hawaii is VERY different. Our doctors have tried petitioning for an increase to match Alaska (which gets paid 1.5X hawaii docs) but with no success so far.
@@DrRupaWong Thanks for the info. Definitely something to consider before making the move to “paradise”.
@@DrRupaWong wow that’s awful especially for a specialist. I’m in dental and we can negotiate fee schedule (base on UCR in the area) or else we just opt out. In certain rural or underserved area where there’s no participating provider or specialist, the insurance company would definitely try to work with you on the fee schedule.
Are you Ethiopian origin?
I'm not - I'm Indian,. All the Ethiopian women I've seen are simply gorgeous, so I'm definitely taking that as a HUGE compliment.
@@DrRupaWong Thank you Doctor, you resemble thousands of Ethiopian women, don't be surprised if they speak Amharic(Official Ethiopian language) with you. I lived in Delhi for 3.5 years during my teenage years, and do speak Hindi.
