Damn! This doc is probably using all of her salary for skin repair. She shines like a diamond.
Nope..I invested in a good set of lights though that bring out my natural oils lol! Thanks for the comment 🥰 and thanks for watching!
That's called Melanin honey!!
You’re glowing ❤️ I can’t wait to become an anesthesiologist in the future. People frown on me making the switch from nursing to medicine, but I’m gonna keep going after my dreams
This is the story of my life
Why people are frowning on u for the switch?...can u say if u don't mind?
@@vivek27789 they get offended because I’m not going the NP route for some reason
@@princess287love pretty odd thing to frown upon..if you want to be become physician or surgeon...why make it more arduous and complicated by becoming a nurse practitioner first.. in my opinion that is.... Though I have to ask is it due to the financial concerns of going to a medical school?
@@vivek27789 nope. I want be a physician and I’m also interested in surgery. I can’t do that as an NP
Your skin is glowing 💕💕 thank you for being so informative about this field for those of us interested in medicine!
I've been waiting on your videos and we understand that you still have a life outside of the hospital and RUclips, Love ur channel ❤️🙂
I just wanted to say that you are an inspiration for me! As a 5th year medical student in the University of Córdoba, Spain, I want to pursue the USMLE and become an Anesthesiology resident in the US. Thank you so much for your videos, they are very helpful.
Just discovered your channel and I love it!! Finishing up my pedi anesthesia fellowship now, and have a job lined up for August. It's getting real!! This is great advice, thank you!!
Thanks so much for watching.
She’s so humble!
I Literally cant wait to be a physican Im willing to put In the work time and effort To I accomplish my goals
Never quit! It’s possible! I’m half way though my intern year, it flies by!
It's not that hard
Thank you for putting this information out there ❤ and thank you for your kind words and encouragement 😊
Just got accepted to med school! I’m interested in gas, so I love watching your videos!
Congrats!
The fuel?
@@Gabriel-zx3ge lol no. gas = general anesthia
@@mike112693 oh ok lmaoo english is my second language
I've had a troubled college career myself through the years but I've remained a student of life consistently and have been presented with the opportunity to become a cna with an employer and which after a year will pay for nursing school from which I'll apply to med school with hopefully placing in anesthesia , I'm 24years old but I know it will be possible . I look up to you guys and your journey and thank you for not giving up
Hey man. It’s never too late. Am also 24 and in my second year of nursing school. I’ve heard of people going to med school in their late 50s.
Do it,
@@taiwoshogbanmu9747 same here (24 and finishing first semester), for some reason I feel guilty about switching and investing that much time and effort into nursing school knowing that this is what I want eventually
@@juliasiepierski2007 I get what your saying but what if medical school doesn’t happen? Nursing is a reliable career to fall back on. Plus, nursing will help fund medical school.
@@taiwoshogbanmu9747 nah Julia is correct on her thinking. If you want to be a doctor, unfortunately, admissions committees don't believe your story if you go to nursing school first. They will grill you on why you thought that was a good idea. But hey, like you said, nursing ain't a bad career. You help people and you get paid well. It's very respectable and you can do anesthesia and see patients independently as a nurse (with a little extra schooling). But seriously, if you want to be a doctor it's more time and cost effective *not* to go to nursing school.
What a lady boss! ❤️ I’m graduating from residency in less than 3 months, so this is highly appreciated, thank you!!
You're welcome. Congratulations and thanks for watching, more to come.
@@3anesthesiame40 thank you so much!! I’m so excited (and terrified 😂)
I'm inspired. Thanks for sharing. I'm very proud of you and what you have accomplished.
Thank you so much for watching.
This gives me so much hope 🥰
Nice video. Good to hear your perspectives on residency too. Thanks
Thanks for watching!
HER SKIN IS EVERYTHING !!!!!!!!
I just matched anesthesia residency! This video was super helpful
Thanks so much for watching
Hey thank you so much for making these videos! It’s so inspirational to me seeing black female representation in the field of medicine that I’m interested in. I really love your hair, ik it’s not medical related but if you can, can you make a tutorial on how you did it. Then also may you please make a video with you doing your duties as a mom and what you do in general on a day that you have call.May God Bless you
Check out my day in the life vids.. I thank you so much for watching, stay tuned more to come.
Beware of lifestyle inflation when going from resident to attending salary.
Hi, in the next video please discuss: contract negotiation checkboxes including malpractice, compensation structure, benefits and bonuses, call, non-competes, vacation. I'm genuinely curious. Thanks as a CA-1.
Hi Kevin, thanks for the suggestion! That would be a good vid
Doc You are the best!!!!
She’s so sweet omg
As an Insurance agent, I love you spoke out about Mal practice Insurance and disability insurance. Medical Schools should have a required class called "the business of medicine". One Love ❤ 😍 💖
can’t waittttt
I'm so tired of residency. Done with the disrespect most days. I feel like bs stops with the attending. No one gives them as much crap as residents, interns and students.
Remember your goal. It is a steep climb uphill but the rewards are worthwhile. Also, you get to impact people's lives at a higher level. As for the disrespect, it is not a reflection of you. It is abuse from others because they know you are going to be a great professional
Reject the disrespect and achieve your goals.
How do you feel about the Wisconsin Hospital replacing all anesthesiologist with CRNAs?
None of my attendings got this glow.
Do you think that CAA is a profession that will stay and grow in the future? Thanks for sharing!
Dr what is your facial routine? your face is glowing!
It would be nice to get actual numbers of a resident paycheck and an attending paycheck taking into consideration of loans, malpractice, taxes etc. it doesn’t have to be your numbers specifically but kind of like made up numbers. I’ve came across plenty of videos about how much a doctor makes but no one really says much. It’s understandable because money is such a taboo topic.. but it will still be nice to hear actual numbers of what a resident or attending take home paycheck will be taking into consideration of all the loans etc. I’m curious because I’ll be starting medical school a bit late and possibly want an idea of budgeting for future family planning while in residency. Thank you so much for the video!
Hard to give specifics since it varies greatly depending on where you live, but the average annual salary for a PGY1 (1st yr resident or intern) in NYC was $75K in 2019-2020. That is a relative number..factoring in cost of NYC living, it’s not much at all.
@@3anesthesiame40 true. In Alabama i earned 55k as a resident. Attendings make anywhere from 200k (primary care) to 500k (surgical fields) depending on the specialty.
You look impecable , Doctor. Greetings from Colombia, i m dreaming of being a doctor in te usa, im a doctor in Colombia.
I can’t wait!
I have a question, I'm currently taking pre-reqs to go back to school for Medicine and Anesthesiology is one of my top considerations for specialty, can you tell me your perspective on job security as an anesthesiologist? My sense of job security in my current position is one of the reasons I'm going back to school in the first place..
Job security in medicine in general is strong. Once you’re at the point of choosing your specialty, consider where you might want to live and work and look into the number of/ available opportunities/demand for that type of physician to help guide your choice. Anesthesiologists remain in high demand in NY..where you work is a factor in that.
@@3anesthesiame40 thank you for your answer! I guess what I'm really getting at is, how often are Anesthesiologists turning over? Do they often seek to change employers for better compensation or different corporate culture?
I understand residency or fellowship may be at a different location than wherever I end up as an attending, but I guess my question is, how long is job duration most often before seeking another employment opportunity?
I did not realize part 3
Right? most ppl don’t think about that part! I know I didn’t!
Thanks👩🎓👩🎓👩🎓👩🎓
I feel like in one of your videos you spoke about crna VS anesthesiologist but I can’t pin point the videos location
You can check out the “What career in Anesthesia should you choose?” video. I speak about the CRNA track and Anesthesiologist Assisant track as well in that one. Thanks for watching!
Dr, what do you think the future if Gas will be like in 10-20 years. I'm interested in it but want to know about the future of it.
Wish I could predict anything with certainty..but I think if you’re strongly interested you should pursue it.. if this pandemic showed me anything, it revealed the stability and necessity of the skill sets used in this field.

Hey Boo!
Being a physician does give higher pay with a lot going to taxes and malpractice. There are other ways of making money and this profession is chosen for mainly for that reason. Remember it is 10 years to get there after high school
Can you do a video on why you chose anesthesiology vs other specialities? Thank you!!!! 🎉🎉
Check out my origin video!
In the UK it takes 9 years to become a consultant (attending) after med school. I'm so jealous.
English Med school is 6 years, right after high school. In America it’s 8 years after high school so it balances out
That literally doesn't balance out. That comes to us being 3 years slower. But also a lot of us are graduates anyway so after getting my master's degree then starting medical school my training total will be 9 years. An American with the same qualifications finishes five years before me.
@@MegaPoliyo in the US, you may end up doing 7 years of residency and fellowship depending on specialty. For instance 3 years of internal medicine plus 3 to 4 years of cardiology, and maybe an additional year for a cardiology specialty. Or you may do a 5 year general surgery residency plus a 2 year fellowship in cardio, plastics, or colo-rectal. This is all in addition to 4 years of med school, and 4-5 years of undergrad. So yes it generally does balance out
Are all people that graduate residency attendings, or is it more like a select few people who graduate residency turn to attendings and others are just staff level doctors?
Yes, upon graduation from residency, you are considered an attending. Many people continue to train as Fellows and may or may not assume an attending role until done with fellowship.
@@3anesthesiame40 thanks so much, love your clips!
I’m considering anesthesiology. I was wondering about how much you pay for malpractice insurance per year if you do have to pay on your own.
Around 20k a year
@@ilqaa1761 thanks for the info! are you an anesthesiologist?
@@deathkissgoodbye not yet 😅 i know because my uncle is in practice
@@ilqaa1761 id imagine it be at least 50K for the year considering the high stakes nature of the practice.
@@ilqaa1761 if you dont mind me asking. What is his salary? my student loans will be half a million by the time i graduate. I would like to be able to get into a specialty where I can earn comfortably and be able to pay off my student loans quickly.
Factor in the cost of malpractice insurance
20% my doctor cousin made went to malpractice insurance
How long will it take you to pay back your student loans?
Thanks l think am ok the way l am
Girl your skin has not one FLAW omg
I want to become an anesthesia technician but i have financial problems
Most ppl pursuing careers do, you can consider student loans..it’s the only way I made it through..unfortunately training is not free.
@@3anesthesiame40 thanks I'll try
@@3anesthesiame40 Are u doctor or nurse?
Doctor
@@3anesthesiame40 plz tell me nursing is best or anesthesia?
Really great advice!
Sorry, I’m on the account of one of my kids, and don’t want to change their computer. BTW, your videos should be required viewing for you young residents and med students.
I’m commenting to ask (as ironic as this sign on name is) for an “an” instead of an “a” in the title. “An attending” just sounds and looks as refined as your video. It would be a better fit than “a attending”.
Thanks, and thanks for watching! Regarding the ‘an’.. I fully agree, but Tell that to Tube buddy! (A program which tells you which exact wording will get you found in a RUclips search) as a former teacher it bugs me too! 🤷🏾♀️
Are most doctors paid monthly or bi weekly?
Bi-weekly in general..May vary depending on where you work, though.
Hey do you think this is a dying field for doctors
Because of rise of nurse Anesthetist and doctor of nurse anesthetist
No, I do not. Every region’s demands are different though so that’s something to take into consideration. With the ever aging population, the need is going to continue to grow so we will need as many anesthesia professionals as we can get.
@@3anesthesiame40 excellent reply. Good for you
So I'm curious, why are attending physician paid so little in comparison to physicians who have completed residency. For instance an Anesthesiologist makes over 400k while an attending anesthesiologist make only 200 to 240k, even though the attending has completed fellowships.
Attendings are physicians who have completed residency
Don’t take this the wrong way because I know nothing is perfect..just wasn’t sure if you knew about the error in the title of your fantastic video “…before becoming “an” attending physician”

I know, I know.. (see previous comments)
