EM is only competitive if you really want to do EM but do a bad job on your EM rotations. EM matching relies much more heavily on letters (SLOEs) than other specialties. There are a wide variety of programs and many spots, you just have to be willing to give up that big city intense ER training to be sure to match which many people generally avoid so their match list can be unrealistic if they have a weak application. This happens in IM and other specialties too, just not as much I believe

Shauna Schiffman I know this is generic advice, but I advise that you be selfish in what specialty you choose. Of course choose a job that will make you happy, but also make sure it doesn’t mess with the kind of lifestyle you want to live. I am an emergency doc, and I love working in the ER but I enjoy having half the month (at least) off...AND NO PAGER! I guess what I am trying to say is that we all felt this calling to be a doctor. And we have all made sacrifices to serve others. But you got to put yourself in the forefront when you choose a specialty. Your patients will benefit significantly from you being happy in your chosen specialty.

A successful and coherent atmosphere in the OR requires that Surgeon and Anesthesiologist are at equal ground, there is no "second in command". There are two different roles here and one cannot do their work without the other. An Anesthesiologist needs to be comfortable taking charge of a patient when $*** hits the fan during a case and also to be the patient's advocate when deciding on the risks of surgery + anesthesia. Of course, my bias as an Anesthesiologist and probably Dr. Jubbal's bias having been on the surgical side. Teamwork.

Emergency Medicine is practicaly non-existent in Brazil, ERs and even ICUs being mostly run by recently gradutated doctors without any specialty, ufortunately. And Family Medicine is virtualy unkown by the gerenal public, but the government has been making efforts to strengthen the Primary Care.

PM&R is extremely underrated. In fact, the specialty is more high-tech than what is explained here. You have TONS of things to do (including injections and robotics) and you can pick whichever you want according to your interest. They deal with several human systems: musculoskeletal, neurology, and even cardiopulmonary system which is not mentioned here. Their patient ranges from babies to elderly patients. Their way of thinking is very different from other doctors, very patient-oriented and not just focused on "curing" the disease. Therefore, their relationship with patient is often great, not to mention their satisfaction rate of their lifestyle. It is truly a hidden gem that looks like a lump of mud for a medical student.

JustTooLit I totally agree with you. Internal medicine competitiveness varies greatly depending on prestige of the place and location. Pathology is not competitive at all (except for a few most top places). EM on the other hand is pretty competitive. I suspect anesthesiology is not very competitive because there is a ton of nurse anesthetists and anesthesiologists are at great risk of being outsourced (but I maybe wrong).

FM is the best for me! It's noy glarmourous, of course, but who cares? There's is no other specialty where you can bond so strongly with the patients, families and comunities and use that bond as a powerful diagnostic and therapeutic tool. I'm the one who takes care of gramma's back pain, daddy's smoking addiction, mama's pre-natal care and I'm the one who makes sure the kids are growing alright. My patients might even need to see other focal specialists, but I'm always the one coordinating their healthcare. In other words, I am the doctor they call theirs and for me it's the best thing ever. Besides, I hate hospitals.

I still wanted to be involved with sports medicine and I have researched and researched and couldn’t find out if an Er doctor that specializes in sports medicine was even a thing. Your video was awesome and explained so much!! Also I always thought I had everything planned out and now I’m in high school and want to be in the medical field but have never taken any medical classes and I don’t have any room in my schedule while I’m in high school so if anyone knows if that would be a huge set back in the future that would be awesome to know!

Those average salaries are quantifying salaries even lower than the average obviously. In Miami, I know quite a few physicians who earn half of the average you state. Family physicians in Miami Florida earn 100 K and I know of one earning less than 100 K. Kids better think twice about medicine before they rack up a debt load which their salary will not be able to pay for.

The anaesthesiologist is not the second in command. Actually, it is problematic putting the problem like that. You can't compare the surgeon and the anaesthesiologist, they are not doing the same thing, they have to always work synchronized unless you don't want the patient to be awake in the middle of surgery or vice-versa.

I'm doubting at least 3 of these belong in the category of least conpetitive. Maybe according to the data you're pulling from it fits your criteria but Psychiatry has been in the top 5 most competitive specialties for a couple years now just because of lifestyle, and anesthesiology is slated to be in the top 5 most competitive this match cycle as well. EM doesn't seem right as well. The other 3, however, I would agree with.

@jessrufus1891

I'm no expert on this topic, so just my opinion here: As far as I've read, an anesthesiologist not only has to monitor the anesthetics given during surgery but also handling pain control afterwards. Sure, keeping an eye on vital signs and controlling doses is something that could be done by a computer, but talking to the patient afterwards, prescribing a personal prescription for pain management and making sure they're recovering properly is a lot more personal -- so most Iikely is a job better suited for another human. (Until AI becomes sentient to the point where it's indistinguishable from another person, at least...) Nonetheless, my guess is it'll be a looong while before robots start threatening your job. I could be very wrong here since I have limited experience with both anesthesiology and AI, but that's just a personal prediction. Good luck for the future!

It will be a while before AI completely takes over, but we're already starting to see it used to assist in diagnostics (large databases that use AI to match a symptoms with a disease). Important word here is "assist", because at this current stage you still need a human's intuition and decision making to make the final decision. So as far as I know, there's no need to worry about AI taking over in our lifetime. I also want to go into anesthesiology so here's hoping!

Pediatrics can be a total joy. I have been one for over 30 years and I can honestly say I still love my work. Obviously you would only love pediatrics if you like children. Pediatric is a vocation within a vocation, if you are meant to be a pediatrician, you will be one, you won't even spend much time thinking about it. But if you work in pediatric oncology, you will need super strength of character. Watching kids suffer and die could break your spirit. But that isn't even the worst. The very worst thing you may have to deal with as a pediatrician is child abuse.
