Pathology has the best lifestyle of all specialities. No annoying patients or interactions. Rarely any calls. Can leave office anytime you want. You’re just alone in a room doing your job and making 300k/year
Yeah, that is the average, but my mother is in private pathology working to become partner next year , last year she was making 350k, now 650k and then next year when she is fully partner she will be making 800k!!!!! And my dad who is a vascular surgeon makes almost half of that
I always thought of going into a specialty with a lot of patient interaction. But after working as a medical assistant, I realized how draining it can become. I'm an introvert and constantly need to recharge my social battery. I stumbled across pathology and realized this is what I want to do. Your always learning and getting to diagnose different pathogens and tissues. I don't mind working in an office style. I'd rather have a good work-life balance while making a difference to patient lives. I don't strive for recognition, I'd rather be a doctor's doctor and work behind the scenes.
Not to mention as a pathologist you must have the ability to finish a 4-year medical school and another 4-year residency with more studying to do with cell, molecular and microbiology. It's a tough job and the title is considered "the doctor of all the other doctors"!
My mother is a pathologist working in private. She is incredibly smart, but not gifted smart. She failed two of the exams in a row, and never gave up and the third time she took it she passed!!!! This shows for me cause I am not naturally gifted as my brother is and I have to work for it. No matter if you are smart or not. You need to find a work ethic and STUDY even if you think your smart. Medical school will slap you in the face.
I’m 18 and a sophomore in college. I always wanted to be a vet, but after working at a vet clinic as a vet assistant, I’m starting to be interesting in pathology. Reason being is that I love doing lab tests, taking samples, and gathering data from the samples I take. I realized that vet’s don’t do much of that, but rather deal with the owners and diagnose animals. I don’t mind working with people, but I have a very reserved and serious personality, which I worry will bother the clients. I also wouldn’t mind getting a little extra cash for doing something I’m more passionate about. Anyways, no matter what I choose, thank you for the informative video :)
Im currently in my premed right now. And a few days ago, i asked my batchmate what he would like to specialise in. He said pathology. So here i am searching all about pathology. And i find it very interesting. I might consider this field
Hey Jeff, what is one of the weirdest things you've found in a dead person's stomach? Have you ever found notes or messages that somebody swallowed right before their death? I think that would be one unusual place for someone to leave a suicide note.
Though, I see my mom reading A LOT for her exam, while my dad who is a Vascular Surgeon never touched a book in a WHILE. And his exam is take home and he just asks for help on questions from his other work buddies
Im an MLS and we have about 3 pathologists that oversee our hospital lab. The hospital is a 600-700 bed hospital as well. They usually have final review and say on slides/cells that require a pathologist to review it or slides we arent sure of, i assist them with procedures like a bone marrow aspiration, other than that i see them in their office reviewing things with their microscope. Ive only been here a few months, this is just what ive seen.
Can anybody tell me if a person have done DMLS-Pathology (Doctor of medical laboratory science) it is a 5 year program, does this have same worth or staus as if a person does another degree in pathology ? please guide
i learned how to code and i'm considering this as a future career. especially for 3rd world countries. don't limit yourself to your own country. i'm going to hack the MCAT
Hospitals don’t hire people just because the color of their skin.. they hire based on your qualifications for the job. Nobody wants a doctor that doesn’t know what they’re doing but happens to be a minority.. I’d rather have a competent white doctor then a incompetent black doctor or I’d rather have a competent black doctor then a incompetent white doctor.. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH RACE! STFU WITH ALL THE RACE GARBAGE!

-You work alone

@@maryem8263 That's why i wanna pursue pathology
thought i was the only person going into the medical field that listened to good music (death metal). glad to know there are others out there.
Work alone. Best part.
Technology you have to go to conferences with colleagues
Pathology has the best lifestyle of all specialities. No annoying patients or interactions. Rarely any calls. Can leave office anytime you want. You’re just alone in a room doing your job and making 300k/year
Sitting at a desk can be very boring too, though. A lot of people want daily action and can’t stand sitting all day.
These people remind me of medical accountants lol

Did you have the chance to graduate earlier? Or may I ask as to how you're already a sophomore in college at the age of 18?
@@amyy7848 Yeah, I graduated early. I graduated shortly after I turned 17, and I was dually enrolled at 16.
Most definitely do what you REALLY love! All the best!
My advice as a med student is that Vets have a high suicide rate due to certain things. It is tough and that's why I do pathology.
I am going to do pathology residency at UNMC. A dream become true:)
Me too

I wish i was smart enough to become a doctor.
you are and you can be a doctor, I believe in you
You are.
You don't have to be smart. Just work hard.
You don’t need to be “smart” you just need to like science lol
Persistence is the key in medschool. I wasn't smart at medschool, yet now Im finally here

Paramedic here...Suicide notes are generally meant to be read....swallowing it would defeat the purpose and probably be uncomfortable to do.

No comments about pathology's job market
Gotta say I'm impressed
I wish I had the motivation to study medicine.
You can do it!
have kids, they motivate the heck out of your cells to give them the world
Some parents don’t want to “give their children anything”. They neglect them, mean or abusive. They don’t assist their children in self-actualizing.
you don't need motivation you need disciplinary approach
no one is motivated
I think this is what I want to do
I have finally found my dream job

@@ivantulumovic861 Why? Do they provide funding for med school?
Before you become a pathologist do you have to work in the ED. PLS reply
No you don’t have to.
Yes u do in ur first year only. Your internship year.
@@nova9672 Pathology residency doesn't have an intern year from what I've learned. You go straight into it after graduating from med school.
@@amalhirole7651 source?
@@KC-dg9pu Search it up. Canada and US don't have intern years for path residency.
😠 'Irregardless' is NOT a word!
I love that word, though

residents there get paid ?
i would imagine they have to eat
@@KC-dg9pu I have to eat as well and they dont pay me in my country. A little advice, stop this sarcastic passive aggressive attitude.not cool.
In the United States, medical interns and residents receive a salary, although it is not as much as they will earn after residency.
@@reptonplaya Thank you, dear.
Resident salary is paid by the government. They are not hospital employees. The government dictates their yearly pay not the hospital
What is a pathologist's monthly salary?
depends on what state you’re in, but it’s generally around 180k
@@jaela0838 not monthly lol
What jaejae meant was yearly salary, so if that's the yearly salary, monthly would be like 15K
Average U.S Salary is about 215,000
Ranges from $100,000 to ~$900,000 in the U.S as of 2020.
