This guy helped me pick FM. It’s a great field and I can definitely attest to “there are headaches in all fields,” so choose what you can see yourself doing. Hope all is well Dr. Chima
I haven't started the interview yet, but just looking at the thumbnail...when someone sits like that, with their fingers interlocked like Dr. Cheema....you know he knows what he's talking about.
Haha, he definitely does. Not only is he renown among med students and patients, but he’s also built a very successful career with outputs comparable to some of the highly competitive medical and surgical specialties out there
@@DrAdnan yeah bro, and when he was talking about all the other things he does, I was like 😮 wow he's super involved and busy. Thanks for another nice interview 🤙🏿.
Thank you so much! In the future, if you could please ask physicians about insurance/reimbursement issues, I'd greatly appreciate it. Not necessarily how much it is, but is it ever a huge headache or something that bothers you enough to have a bad day/burn out? Thanks!
No problem, thanks for watching! You could talk to a career advisor but I think the best thing would be to shadow docs from different specialties. The next best thing is to ask a senior med student or a resident doctor
Any doctor who does sports medicine gets the opportunity to meet famous athletes 🤩 Adnan you should do a video on sports nutrition too 😏 Once again.. Awesome video 👍 (hope you're well)
That’s true, it opens up doors to work with the pros. I’ve been wanting to make sports nutrition videos- soon! Thank you for watching and for your support 🙏. I hope you’re well too!
Hi, please could I ask if you could interview a cardiac physiologist? I was looking at medicine but cardiology seems too intense/competitive for me so now I’m considering cardiac physiology and it would be great insight! Thank you!
Salam bro, I'm a medical student from the UK hopefully soon to graduate and was wondering if I could chat to you about family medicine over in the USA. Im not sure how else to get in touch?
Dr. C is doing very well in private practice too, so it’s great hearing insights from someone that’s been successful in that setting. Thanks for watching!
Residency starts in about a month so I’ll have to update you then! No problem, thank you for watching! I think they’re both great specialties, but FM is better for breadth and PMR is better if you mostly like Neuro/msk
@@DrAdnan Do u believe that Surgeons can have a 12-16 hour shift instead of 24 hours. What will u like to happen when it comes to Surgery SPECIALITY work hours . Should the hours be like Emergency Medicine
@@DrAdnan TO REALLY HELP SURGEONS THEY NEED TO HAVE LESS HOURS . CAN U TALK TO A LAWMAKER IN CONGRESS OR HOSPITAL ADMINISTRATION ABOUT THE HOURS OF A SURGEONS. I REALLY BELIEVE THAT SURGEONS SHOULD HAVE HOURS LIKE EMERGENCY MEDICINE
Hey doctor I've a question. I am an IMG, if i complete my family medicine MCPS training in pakistan, and become ECFMG certified, will i be able to do fellowship in USA ?

Hope all is well Dr. Chima
I had a similar experience- he’s definitely one of my role models as well!
I never knew about sports medicine until starting med school so I am glad you were able to share this with everyone!
Thank you!
@@DrAdnan hello Adnan A can u interview another GENERAL Surgeon
Wonderful job doing a comprehensive interview. Kudos to both of you.
Thank you!!
Thank you for this interview man. Wish you the best.
Thank you! I appreciate it

Yeah he’s a legend. Thanks for your support Dr. Jo!
@@DrAdnan You know it, Dr. Adna
@@allthesefoods almost there ;)
Nice bro, these interviews are really insightful

This was great. Thank you.
No problem, thank you for watching!
This is great content 👏 👌 you rock man!
Thanks Dr. B, I appreciate you! 🙏
Really great questions 👍
@@aqulisbellphd5219 Thanks, I try!
Excellent insight! Thanks!
keep it up, you are doing great!
Thanks man!!!
❤️ the video and all the information about the field. Family Medicine is cool 😎 👍🏽
Thank you! I agree, but I’m biased ;)
@@DrAdnan lol, what field do you plan to specialize in?
Family medicine! And possibly sports med
Ah cool man👍🏽
@@chrisnnk9653 it’s a great specialty if you’re considering one! 🙏
Thank you so much! In the future, if you could please ask physicians about insurance/reimbursement issues, I'd greatly appreciate it. Not necessarily how much it is, but is it ever a huge headache or something that bothers you enough to have a bad day/burn out? Thanks!
No problem, thank you for watching! That’s a good question I should’ve asked previously.
Hello! Thank you for the videos! If someone cannot decide on the specialty, is there someone that could help? Like a counselor? Thanksss
No problem, thanks for watching! You could talk to a career advisor but I think the best thing would be to shadow docs from different specialties. The next best thing is to ask a senior med student or a resident doctor

@@DrAdnan that's awesome! I look forward to seeing it 😊😊
(you're still awake!?lol)
@@cleopetra87 I’ll try not to disappoint 😊. Yeah, going to bed soon though- I have another residency interview tomorrow morning!
@@DrAdnan all the best with that! Have a good night 😊
Thank you! Have a good night as well!
Hi, please could I ask if you could interview a cardiac physiologist? I was looking at medicine but cardiology seems too intense/competitive for me so now I’m considering cardiac physiology and it would be great insight! Thank you!
I’d love to, but it’s difficult to get in contact with any- I’ll keep trying though!
Love this
Glad you liked it Yash!!
Ardan, did you chose family medicine at the end?
Yes, the best specialty!
@@DrAdnan congrats bro. Proud of you and thanks for this videos. 🙏
@@rozennbergfridi9206 thank you so much! I appreciate your support and you watching 🙏

He is!
Have not even started Highschool yet but Family Medicine is what I want to pursue in life. These videos are so insightful on the future for me.
I’m happy they’re helpful to you. It’s great you’re so proactive and know what you want to do. Good luck on your journey!!
@@DrAdnan Thank you so much.🙌🙌🙌 Much praise!!!
Salam bro, I'm a medical student from the UK hopefully soon to graduate and was wondering if I could chat to you about family medicine over in the USA. Im not sure how else to get in touch?
Salams, you could message me on ig or art by adnan gmail
cool interview. appreciate the insight into private practice
Dr. C is doing very well in private practice too, so it’s great hearing insights from someone that’s been successful in that setting. Thanks for watching!
This is an excellent interview!
Thank you Ezra!!!
Bro, how is your family medicine going? Are you happy with your choice?
I am considering this specialty or PMR.
Thank you for all the videos.
Residency starts in about a month so I’ll have to update you then! No problem, thank you for watching! I think they’re both great specialties, but FM is better for breadth and PMR is better if you mostly like Neuro/msk
Is 29 years old too late to become a Sports Medical Physician ?
No, but be prepared to sacrifice a lot of your 30s
Great Interview ! A+
Thank you!!!! 🙏
