I personally feel that if you’re going into orthopaedics an extra year or two of fellowship is going to be more beneficial in the long run. As opposed to the immediate monetary gain of not going into the fellowship.
This is really good analysis that most never really consider and in order to make an educated decision I think it's mandatory to take into consideration
@Mallorie Manning That is great! I pray you will reach there. What area of ortho you like? If you haven’t done already, I recommend to shadow different ortho( sport, then spine, joint, etc); assets what you like and don’t like and from there you will decide what interest you the most. If you can also shadow a General ortho also and that can also narrow your selection. I pray that you will reach your goals for you life and that you will be awesome!
@Mallorie Manning Your welcome! If you aren’t sure spent time with other specialist( general surgery, cardiology, internal medicine, neurologist, etc) Go through as many you can and see what you like and don’t like. Just look around and you will see what you like.
before watching the video, if looking for money, I think it makes sense to do a fellowship in Spine. I don't think the other fellowships are really worth it.
You mentioned in a previous video that once you become a practicing physician, the prestigious medical school you graduated from is not that important. Is there a similar situation with fellowship? That is, if you went straight into practice after residency, does it really matter of you did fellowship or not after a few years into your career?
Can you make a video about ancillary income as a physician. I think most people only take average salary into account when they are thinking about different specialties.
If you mean you don’t get the scores that are necessary to get into highly competitive specialties, then it’s likely you won’t get into that specialty.....

@@julianmontoya8660 what makes you feel that? I see alot of surgery robotic tech as disruptor, but also wealth creator by making more procedures economically viable
@@jeoboden well given by the high pay of orthopedic surgeons compared to other specialties, it definitely seems reasonable that even without a fellowship you will have a 99% chance of getting a job.
I think there is a big push towards sub-specialisation. It’s easy to market a “Knee-Surgeon” as opposed to a jack of all trades. I’m a final year medic and it’s one of the things they spoke about at my Uni. It’s all good to say not to do a fellowship, but if most job adverts are looking for fellowship trained doctors.. you just might not get a job into the specialty you are looking for.
seems like in a field like ortho surgery, the raw data shows ROI on fellowship is not worth it for anything other than Spine, and maybe sports if you secure a solid professional sports deal. I also feel like the prestige of fellowship trained orthopedic surgeons vs general ortho is not as stark as plastics or CT vs general surgery
Hi, I'm in the Air Force as Security Forces. I signed a 6 year contract and I'm only 2 years in. I want to get out after my six years and go to school to become an orthopedic surgeon. I was always fascinated with sports medicine in high school. I'm just confused on what to study as my bachelors. Can you give me some guidance? Possibility mentor me as well? Thanks.
I studied movement science (I think most places call it exercise science) for my bachelors degree. It was really interesting and I felt like it prepared me pretty well for medical school (as well as any degree can)

Together with dr. Cellini...
... this is the best “MD content” on social media.
I hope they will keep posting now they completed residency.
Thank you dr webb.it is nice to see a doctor that also understand business and economics

I'm guessing most that don't do fellowships already have a way into a practice like parents/family friend
@@jeoboden or their Residency was good for them.
Yeah I hate how all the data never breaks down private practice vs partner vs employee etc
This is really good analysis that most never really consider and in order to make an educated decision I think it's mandatory to take into consideration
Friend is planning on doing a dental fellowship to improve speed since the practice he has lined up is super high production
@@futuredockey3695 no hes going to dental school
Hey Dr Webb, do you think you would have been able to get a job in spine surgery if you didn’t complete the fellowship?
*Antonio J. Webb, M.D.* I believe keep up your amazing work
No matter what, my plan is to be a general orthopedic surgeon!
Good luck, man :)
You can do it! Stay focused!
The best of luck my friend!! Determination is key

Hi Antononio J. Webb, M.D., I like your content. I love watching your videos.
Do you think one can operate in a private practice basis without a fellowship? Excellent video, give us more like this

Is a Trauma surgeon basically a ER surgeon?

That is, if you went straight into practice after residency, does it really matter of you did fellowship or not after a few years into your career?
When it comes to boards, like if you are an attending and you have to renew it, what happens if you fail it? Do you lose your license to practice?
Thank god that we study Medicine for free in Saudi Arabia
Can you make a video about ancillary income as a physician. I think most people only take average salary into account when they are thinking about different specialties.
Are there graphs like the NPV graph for other specialties such as Radiology fellowships?
This is a more general question but what happens if you have a specific field in mind but don’t test into it?
If you mean you don’t get the scores that are necessary to get into highly competitive specialties, then it’s likely you won’t get into that specialty.....
Love this, i am a very analytical person
good job
It all comes down to opportunity cost I guess
Future medical student, here. What opportunities are normally available to medical students to make income on the side to help defer the cost of living or principal on accrued loans?
Very part-time research assistant. Tutor med/non-med. Coach something i.e. sport outside of med (cash in hand).
not a single person in my class does anything on the side
Better to focus on reducing cost than income in med school. No job in med school will make a dent in debt.
Are you really missing out on the 500k if you would have less chance of getting job anyway?
hmm idk i feel like there will always be openings for surgeons even if it means in other state

Step 1. Get Orthopedic Fellowship
