That must be the best feeling in the world. 4 years of college, many hours of volunteering, and 4 years of medical school. After 8-10 years finally starting your clinical training and calling yourself a doctor. Damn
@@speakingtruths4215 oh god no. In residency they make the wage of a teacher, but I'm sure most of these students don't go into medicine for the money. Its a calling and a one of the most challenging things to complete. The money comes later.
@@speakingtruths4215 Well most banks allow med students a LOT of time to make up for the loan they asked for because they know they'll afford it later on
Same! Perhaps we can relate to endless hours of studying and still going through life’s punches so when others achieve their dreams or goals we can be happy for them since we know how tough higher education can be
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
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.
I remember when my older brother matched in radiation oncology, then a year later my older sister matched in ob/gyn. In a year I hope to match into plastic surgery and follow in my family’s medical career path.
@@ana.eduard1493 For residencies. Nothing is ever guaranteed in medical school; you can only do your best and hope to get in. 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'.
@@EmilyMaslow532 I've never heard of this before until this video popped up in my recommendations. This is a very interesting process and I'm glad to see every so fond of what they achieved
The UK is in-between the US and Germany. You apply to the specialty which is a national body but it's done after you've already graduated as everyone has to rotate through a few specialties as generic foundation training before making that choice.
@@rufio171 it's a really great feeling when you figure out what you're gonna specialize in. I'm a pharmacist with a handful of doctor friends, and I love watching these videos. It's awesome to see people excited about their future. It is a very exciting (but anxiety-filled) time. I didnt do a residency, but I'm okay with that. I am float as a pharmacist vecause I love the new patients and dealing with issues that I havent seen elsewhere (and I do a damn good job from what my colleagues tell me). Its all about doing what you love and making sure you don't get jaded and start treating patients like customers. Sometimes it can be hard, but it can be worth it if you really believe in your role as a healthcare provider.
@@whitestkid That's great, but I am telling you as a medical student myself and knowledge of how the match works, 95% of medical students would agree that this is a cruel way to reveal the match. Essentially you only have a 48% chance of matching at the location you want which means on average more than 1 out of every 2 students will be disappointed they didn't match into their number 1 location and now it is displayed in live time in front of a crowd of people
I always wanted to be a med student, when I was younger, but I always had a fear of blood, needles, and open wounds. This please are living a life that really helps those who need it.
I’m loving this energy, I’m a disaster at anything that has to do with biology and I’m afraid of needles but seeing the being so passionate and supportive is inspiring
Because it is inspiring seeing people achieve a goal they've worked for, most likely, their entire lives ... And I am certain, each one has had their share of struggles along the way ... Don't sell yourself short, if you're intrigued by this explore why. Good luck!!
2:22 AYYYE let's go!😄👏🏽👏🏽💚💛❤ I saw Addis Ababa on the title card and clicked immediately. For everyone who is matching into residency in 2020, I hope you got the spot you wanted! Good luck🍀
I have no idea why I'm watching this. I'm a Master's student in Management Information Systems, totally random video but I'm glad for these guys, they seem very happy with their matches!
Just when you're feeling good about what you're doing with your life, RUclips recommends one of these videos. Glad I live on the first floor - if you know what I mean?
Always be grateful because they are sooo many medical students who passed the boards, graduated, and don’t get matched and are left with 200k+ of student debt. Every US based Med student should get matched before foreigner trained doctors are allowed to take any spot
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.
Kylie K. So match day is a event for Graduating Med School students after 4 years of studying, they pick their hospitals or places they want to work at. Match day tells them where they’re working at for the next couple yearsz
Joe Burreaux they know ahead of time that they didn’t and some schools have the opportunity to do more interviews for certain schools that did not fill up all of their residency spots, to hopefully match
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
I’m confused about the whole matching thing. Do they not get a choice as to where they’re going to go?? Like is it just a like it or lump it situation?? Don’t even know why this was recommended to me lol
Basically you rank programs and the programs rank candidates - then a big algorithm occurs and you get matched to a place that you ranked high and ranked you back high. It is possible to not match at all.
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.
I always wanted to work in medicine but my family isn’t able to fund my education, so im doing Mech Eng instead. Maybe in the next life, ill be a doctor :’) .
please don't give up on your dreams!! many people go to medical school after already having a full career. if you wish, go into cs, save money, and go back to school for medicine!
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?
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.
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.
You can't go into the field you want. And it's kinda sad because if you really look into the #1 choices a lot of these students had, many of them are stuck with specialties not related to their interests whatsoever
It's super nerve wracking. They're opening an envelope that could say anything (their first choice or last choice or anything in between) that decides where they'll live for the next 3-7 years. That's why most schools don't have you OPEN the envelope in front of the entire school
Maria Khan I would think you can opt out of saying the school you're going to for residency. Its not like it's a fail and they revoke your MD if you won't get up there and say what school you got into. These students probably agreed to it but were all the same nervous.
Red Unicorn they pick a few and rank them in order of their top choices and then the schools rank them and they hopefully get matched by their top choice, however in some cases people don’t get matched with anything and the school they are currently at will let them do another year
The guy in the beginning doing orthopaedic surgery at Hopkins and how his parents were soo happy I cried 😭😭

You can't go into the field you want. And it's kinda sad because if you really look into the #1 choices a lot of these students had, many of them are stuck with specialties not related to their interests whatsoever
I also havent decided on which specialty i wanna do. Its a hard choice.
I wish my match day was filled with that much pageantry........those kids must have felt like they were in the nfl draft
Is there any fully funded medical scholarship? I'm from east Africa ...
im only a junior in HS and im hoping to get pediatrics in NYC.
What's happening exactly
I am a Radiologist.
Hope my son's dream of joining Interventional Cardiology in US (Harvard) will come true!
This is fun . Do dentists also do this type of celebration of residency?
i pray that this will be me in the future.
I’m studying in a Australia Uni. Erm, what’s match day?
First dude’s parents 😭😭😭
What should I do?I am 14 year old and Wanna be a doctor. What should I read in home? Any doctor here for help me?☺☺
Why do none of them seem excited??? I'm???
The crowd seems more excited than the speakers...
It's super nerve wracking. They're opening an envelope that could say anything (their first choice or last choice or anything in between) that decides where they'll live for the next 3-7 years. That's why most schools don't have you OPEN the envelope in front of the entire school
Maria Khan I would think you can opt out of saying the school you're going to for residency. Its not like it's a fail and they revoke your MD if you won't get up there and say what school you got into. These students probably agreed to it but were all the same nervous.
I loved the U of M part :) go blue!
Can they choose in what field they go?
Red Unicorn yes!
@@gwyneths3048 okay and then they apply to hospitals and this is when they see which one picked them?:)
Red Unicorn they pick a few and rank them in order of their top choices and then the schools rank them and they hopefully get matched by their top choice, however in some cases people don’t get matched with anything and the school they are currently at will let them do another year
@@gwyneths3048 thank you!
What is matching? Is hat like residency after Medical School is complete?
Bri yes, you match to a certain residency and they are all opening up their letters to see which residency they got into and where
Help me understand what is match day 🥺
I'm happy to everyone..
I’m 16 and my goal is to attend Stanford Medical School. Then, I want to either go to Cedars-Sinai or UCLA for neurosurgery.
All right then, good luck with that
Prepare to work
