I appreciate the rawness and honesty in your videos. I don’t think there are many physicians out there that discuss salary and I do think it’s important to educate pre-meds on what to expect, options, and to just know that you shouldn’t be in it just for the money because you do sacrifice a lot in this field.
Thank you. Thank you for sitting down and speaking the bare truth that so many future doctors, as well as female doctors as future mothers may have concerns about. Family is so important to me and I know it’s an obstacle navigating our futures as physicians with marriage, kids, etc. Your family and your patients are very lucky to have you!
Hi- Can you do some interviews with other types of physicians. For example Physician in education, physicians who are MEDICAL WRITERS, physicians who work in pharmaceutical research as MONITORS and DIRECTORS, Physicians in PUBLIC HEALTH, physicians who own businesses. I rarely hear about them...and i wonder how do they get into that field.
I love your perspective! Sometimes I feel like I'm not as intense as other doctors when it comes to working full time. I appreciate that the topic of part time work while enjoying your life is discussed, outside of medical practice. My goals for the future include just that. I am not specialized and I'm not even sure I want to, to be honest (that may change lol who knows) but thanks for the different perspective
Your patients are going to be so lucky to have you as a Dr. I would love to have you as my family Dr! Yours boys are going to love having you around more 💕
No lo veo tanto problema, eua es un gran país, le invito a que cheque el precio de neurocirugias o cirugias ortopedicas en eua, ahi si es un exageracion...
Sometimes I wonder if I’d even survive during residency I have major major anxiety already as it is. but I’m scared if I want to be a PA i would want to learn more
I have a make up routine that is pretty much similar th-cam.com/video/tlE4Wchk29E/w-d-xo.html for skincare, I recently started prescription tretinoin cream!
With more time off with the kids you could always focus more time on editing and making TH-cam videos, sponsorships etc.. and could end up making more through that as well? Also could stan not join a real estate company to have more fixed salary?
That’s what we’re hoping would happen with TH-cam but as of right now, we’re really not making much. All realtors work off commissions. I think you only get a salary if you’re in an apprenticeship position? But I’m not sure
You guys deserve to get paid more!! my husband makes $200,000 a year As a CRNA and he works three days on two days off three days on and six days off so he has a lot of time off
I love that you chose to work part time for now. The kids will love it. AND, you can go FT whenever you want, when it feels right! (catching up!!) love you Jenny! xxooo hugs.
Is finding a job or getting opportunities different as an osteopathic physician as opposed to an allopathic physician? Were the experiences of any of your colleagues differences with a DO degree versus a MD degree?
Nope. It was actually a selling point that I was a DO practicing osteopathic manipulation. Everyone who is ACTUALLY IN MEDICINE knows that MDs and DOs go through the same rigorous training to become the physician that they are. You look at their body of work and the patients that they’ve cared for.
@@drjennale Jenny, thank you so much for taking time to reply! I really appreciate your response. Your videos and replies to comments throughout the thread are so helpful. I love watching your videos, and you are so inspiring!
Being in a situation similar to you, I totally understand the dilemma of maintaining a balance between career and kids. I'm taking extra time to start a job so that I can get extra time with my 4 year old and 10 month old baby. I might start working in November or December.
You’ve explained this really well. Part time hours for doctors are still long hours! And the pay (in the US, not so much in Ireland where I work) is still enough to live off.
Do you ever wish that your husband was the one that made more money and worked more and you could be the one at home and with the kids more or do you prefer the path you have chosen and life you have made? I am just wondering because I am applying to medical school now. My boyfriend has a much more laid back career which is how he likes his lifestyle. It is less of a consistent guarantee and less money overall. Most likely I would have the more stable and high income. I am already in my late 20s too and want a family one day too.
I love my career in medicine. I’m also glad that Stan’s work schedule was flexible enough to be there for the kids while I was in training. Do I worry that he doesn’t have a guarantee salary? All the time! But it’s our passion so I have faith that it will all work out I’m the end.
Honestly, try to find someone who is going to be your equal. If you have a doctorate, your partner should also have one or be earning the same or more money. It’s exhausting being the breadwinner and puts so much stress on yourself. In the end you will be spending most of your hard work on him, with the travels and housing, you would most likely always have to pay. For long term relationships, find someone who earns a similar amount that way you don’t feel like you’re paying for everything
@@numberone22459 Honestly, it depends on one's personality. Both my husband and I are physicians. My husband does not even account for my paycheck. He wants to be the main provider. This actually pisses me off bcz I make money too and I want to contribute to the family's income.
Shalini That’s great and that’s the way it should be. Your husband sounds like a great person for doing that. And you still are contributing so much in ways u can’t even imagine. The best thing is that you guys are equals❤️
Sounds similar to what is the case here in Australia as a GP (Family doctor) - each thing we do is attached to an "item number" - a #23 is for a 20min, #44 for >40min, #2715 for mental health consult >20min, #16500 for antenatal visits
@@drjennale agreed! I don't think I've had one patient this week with a single problem... it's always "oh while i'm here, I also want to talk about..."! It's the part of GP I simultaneously love and also loathe - especially when you do thorough job talking about X, and then they pull out "oh also I have chest pain when I walk..."!! But hey. It's the job isn't it
Hi Jenny. I’m from Pennsylvania and I know in our area a lot of mommy doctors go into private practices/ work for private/semi-private rehab facilities etc. during family planning, pregnancy, and post pregnancy time while they have little ones. I haven’t personally looked into this but from a lot of my friends who have taken positions like this they seem to enjoy more flexible and/or part time hours as well as still receiving competitive pay and benefits. I’m not sure how programs work in your area but I was wondering if you’ve ever considered something like this?
Yes! There was a private practice that recruited me. They had many part time physicians there. You also had the option of buying into the company after 2 years. Unfortunately, salary was not as competitive.
I stopped watching your videos due to the algorithm and casually remembered your name as I was going to sleep. Really going to binge watch everything I’ve missed. Love you!! ❤️
Thank you for sharing! You are awesome! At the end of the story, how much are you going to gain with the part-time job? Half of the full-time one? So 120k $ a year?
Yes! It’s call job sharing. The hard part is finding someone who will work exactly opposite schedule of you. But co resident and I were going to do this but decided to go with different companies. The other draw back is that if you wanted to increase work hours, it’d be harder because you’re connected to someone else
That’s scary that there are doctors or other health care workers that make excuses to not take the flu shot. 😳 Glad you aren’t one of those! Thanks also for sharing the scientists to follow about COVID info.
![PART TIME DOCTOR [Schedule, Salary, and More!]](/img/n.gif)
Yes, good decision. Time can never be restored, but money can always be made, especially in your profession.
Agreed!! So well said ❤️
I appreciate the rawness and honesty in your videos.

Exactly, you can always make more money but you can't get more time. This was an excellent video from a doctor's point of view.
I feel like you would be such a fun person to hang out with lol 😅
I do need more IRL friends 😭 mom life makes for a very boring social life

Excuseme , the salary $120 000 is after taxes or before? Thanks ofr answering...
Before
Since it is known that it is 87 cents on the dollar, I am going to right away ask for 13 cents more per dollar to the salary I get offered
What if they just say no?
@@mnchnn This is why women get paid less. They're too worried that the employer will just say no to what they ask for. Just ask for it.
@@mnchnn Then you get the original salary offered.
Sorry I missed your live got the flu vaccine yesterday and I've been asleep from 2pm till 9:30pm so I bet I'm up all night now!
Oh my God, 750 dlls for a pap smear? For that amount of money you can get the treatment for low-grade cervical dysplasia in Mexico.
No lo veo tanto problema, eua es un gran país, le invito a que cheque el precio de neurocirugias o cirugias ortopedicas en eua, ahi si es un exageracion...
Good decision mama! You know what's best for the kids
Sounds like you made the right decision. :) I'm happy for you.

Dr. Jenny thk u i really needed this
Did you consolidate your loans before applying for RePAYE?
I did .. but if I could go back, I wouldn’t. So I can pay the loans with the higher interest rates first.

5-6 an hour seems normal for specialist but as a GP, I’m addressing several issues and there’s never enough time.

I love family residency already
That is awesome! I always tell people family medicine is a great speciality but I’m biased 😅
Thank you for sharing! You are awesome! At the end of the story, how much are you going to gain with the part-time job? Half of the full-time one? So 120k $ a year?
Yup, around there
Can you share a fulltime position with another doctor? so 2 doctors cover a full time position?
