doesn't work like that. you need to re-do your entire residency and international medical graduates are at the bottom of the list when it comes to the match process, even if they are US citizens and do not require any sort of visa. there's a ~0% chance you'll ever re-train as a dermatologist as it's one of the most competitive medical specialties around.

I was thinking more of a finishing med school in Europe, then doing exams both in Europe and USA, but doing residency only in USA.

As I understand residency is basically a job since you get payed for it and very much.

An alternative is doing Bachelor in Europe, then maybe go to med school in some leftist state like Washington that supposedly gives aid to legal and illegal aliens. Or even doing Bachelor in blue state too if whole aid thing is real.

Euro medstudent here:
Most efficient way to do this is studying in Europe and then doing internship and residency in the US. You'll have to do some step exams though.
If you're talented you can also do your internship and residency in Europe, do research and become great in your field. You'll have an easy time going over there then. Also if you're in private practice the pay isn't considerably worse than in the US. This is especially true for non live saving procedures - breast augmentation is about the same price on both sides of the pond

That’s not even close. I unironically have a derm friend in rural Iowa that makes $550,000 base along with an insane 401k match and a yearly bonus structure based on RVUs. TC close to 800k for the last few years. 4 day work week as well, not on call.

Most derms pulling these numbers do aesthetic and there are very few residency spots available.
You have to study like a nolife (even by med students standards) for a decade in order to match and not even really practice medicine at the end too.
Besides you're also paid dirt or straight up nothing until you're 30 and you have the loans to pay back.
I made the calculation when I ended fellowship and I basically made less money than if I started being a McDonald cashier at 18 (not even going into the hourly rates...). It's finally starting to pay back but it took some time.

If you're so hellbent on making money and work as much you're better off going into finance, CS or build a business than entering med school.
You also have much more opportunities to branch out, when you're a doctor you have some flexibility depending on your specialization but it always ends with you in front of a patient.

The pros are the job security and being your own boss, it also depends on what you want to do all day. I would be depressed if I had to spend my day filling excel sheets and playing corporate games while I enjoy spending time with my patients, even if there is already way too much paperwork.

Wait, can you show the math here?

Average price for 4 yeads of med school is like 300k in USA. Even with 300k salary (the guy you are responding to said it can easily go much bigger than that with dermatologists) you can pay loan back in 3 years max.

Yes, you have to study like 12.5 years (which includes bachelor). But if we compare it with all other people that want to get PhD in any other discipline its like only 2 years longer.

Ofc residents are not paid like real doctors but if we simply count that as part of education then its actually very sweet. You get paid like 70k for first year and it only gets bigger after that. And its just 4.5 years. Personally, I think it just sounds depressive if you look at residency as education (this way you spend 12 years of your life just on education) but if you look it as a junior job then its much more attractive

Computer science and finance is the biggest meme I have seen, every portal says they make what average fckn marketing manager makes.

It was basically 3 years for the bachelor, 4 years of med school, 4 years of residency, 3 years of fellowship.
Overall 7 years without being paid a cent (and a 200k loan), 7 years being paid on average 60k a year, that's basically 420k - 180k with the loans. So 240k over 14 years, a McWagie made around 300k in the same interval.

> You get paid like 70k for first year
I wish, I never made 70k in 4 years of residency, more like 55k and it was with an average of 60-70 hours weeks. 70k was closer to fellowship salary.

> PhD in any other discipline its like only 2 years longer.
A PhD is almost never worth it unless you want to be an academic. Most doctors have to write a thesis because... They just have ok!
Besides I challenge you to find a PhD program where you have to do shit like staying 70 hours at the hospital and not spend a single hour working your thesis.

That's far below what actual US dermatologists make, especially in Montana. I make 550k as a general anesthesiologist in an Ivy League academic hospital in the Northeast (which generally pays quite a bit lower than private practice). GPs can make more than that in the US. Average salaries for GP is low 200s to upper 300s. There are jobs in rural America that pay through the nose, offers for over 500 for a GP in Alaska for example.

The reality is you are far too stupid to ever become a physician in the US by virtue of how half baked and poorly thought out you plan is. The pakis who do come here are the absolute cream of the crop from their respective countries, usually very highly published working directly with world famous doctors in their home country y and a genius to scores in the top 99th percentile they can get a residency spot in the US. But the doompill for foreign medical students and doctors is we have now done away with scores for the infamous USMLE Step1, it is simply pass fail. Which now means there is essentially zero chance any residency would risk one of their very few and sacred spots on a foreign graduate, as an insanely high USMLE Step1 score was the only really way for foreign docs and students to differentiate themselves. IT was a way to level the playing field as no amount of nepotism can get you to score good on the god-forsaken test.

Only chance you have of becoming a physician in the US is to grind it out for years in a US medical school. Everyone want these heavy paychecks but no one wants to lift these heavy books

Despite all the doomsayers though, becoming a physician in the US was an amazing decision. I am 32 and have only recently started finally earning but I work low 40 hours a week, make 550k, 8 weeks of vacation, but most importantly is I actually have a ton of fun at my job, but thats because anesthesia is a blast of a specialty

Only doing residency in US is just one of the option, there are two alternatives that presumably may fix the whole financial problem you highlighted. For aliens big problem with finances is not even the price but the fact we can’t even take loans to pay for it.

1. Doing Bachelor and Med School in some blue state like Washington that presumably gives financial aid to aliens (both legal and illegal). By the time you finish the Bachelor you may already be a citizen.

2. 2 (or maybe 4, I am not sure) years of military which would both allow a quick way to become a citizen + pay for education and housing. May be frustrating that its another 2 years adeed to already 12.5 years course but can be very beneficial in the long run (no loans)

I sit on the admissions board for an anesthesia residency program right now, since I did residency here and was a chief last year. Programs do not care if you went to Poland or India for med school, an IMG is an IMG; the only exception is people who go to medical school in Canada since they are considered somewhat similar in training to US. Many IMGs are actually Americans who went to Caribbean med schools (because they could not get into med schools in the continental US). Regardless of where you went to med school, if you are an IMG your chances are extremely small. They are essentially zero if you want to do a competitive residency like derm. Anesthesia is a lot less competitive than derm but still much more competitive than the bread and butter specialties and we admit 0 IMGs at my program though that is not the case everywhere. Your only real chances as an IMG are family medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics, and maybe Neurology and pathology. Usually the less desiarblae and the less prestigious the program the better chances of getting in as an IMG are.

Regarding point 2 yeah there are a few ways to get into US med school if not a citizen but the biggest hurdle as you mention is not being able to access the federal loans to pay for it. If you go to a US med school then you are set.

If you cannot get into US med school the pro move is to do med school in home country that is very prestigious, publish a lot, kill the US USML boards get letters etc then try and get into an internal medicine program in the US, from there you can do a fellowship in cardiology, oncology, GI, and pulmonary medicine etc for very good salaries ( yopu can make over a million a year in cardiology or GI if you are willing to work hard and live in more rural areas), and internal medicine is a very easy residency to get into compared to the hyper competitive ones or the ROAD specialties (radiology, ophthalmology anesthesiology dermatology, all of which are know for high salaries and comparatively easy lifestyles compared to say neruosurgery, orthopedic surgery, plastic surgery ENT and so on, which all pay more but work much harder

I did anesthesia which is one of the shortest way to make money where I did 4 years med school and 4 years of residency and no fellowship to make 550k, but that is mostly because the market for anesthesia is red hot now and there aren't enough of us, usually you have to be in training a bit longer to see salaries this high.

It’s competitive to “match”. The way medical school works is you declare a specialty in your last year (or some time before that, I don’t remember), then you do 3 (or more?) rotations in that specialty, you’ll then receive an offer from one of them to become a medical resident (this is called matching). If you don’t get an offer you don’t match into your specialty and have to try again next year or do something else.

The program is extremely competitive for derms because they’re one of the few specialties with good work life balance and obscene pay.

>Besides you're also paid dirt or straight up nothing until you're 30 and you have the loans to pay back. I made the calculation when I ended fellowship and I basically made less money than if I started being a McDonald cashier at 18

This is extremely short sighted, derms will be top 1% income earners at 31-33 years old for the rest of their working life. There’s no one on the planet that compares the life of a dermatologist to a McDonald’s cashier in a serious way, my friend lives in a fucking mansion as a 35 year old. Most McDonald’s cashiers will never have enough disposable income after their life expenses are paid to even save for a basic emergency.

I think that literally what he described (“college” = medical school”). After 4 years of medical college/school you earn 500k. Interesting how much you would earn after fellowship if you did that too

>then you do 3 (or more?) rotations in that specialty

Didn’t know about that, everywhere I have read it aays residency begins right after medical school

It’s the third year of medical school. Med school is like two years of hard studying, nobody tells you that.

You guys don't get it. Medical school isn't about JUST retaining the information, it's about jumping through the dozens of hurdles from studying to rotations to residency interviews to impressing a new doctor every fuckin month for your evaluations.

I did all that shit. I will now enjoy flexibility for the next 35 years of my working life. Currently work four tens a week and enjoy three day weekends for traveling and chilling

The majority of people on this website can do the schooling but they don't have the fortitude to push through every roadblock. Simple as...go back to your pajeetscript degree

4 years after medical school you are earning at least 300k per year and still you retards whine and piss yourselves.
Residents earn at least 60k a year which is NOT BAD

4 years of medical school comes after 4 years of college in the US. No one considers med school "college" in the US since they are distinctly different tiers of education, college in the US is a bachelor degree and med school gives the doctorate degree. THe 6 years total that the rest of the world does instead of 4+4 that the US does is better imo

If you dont match residency the first time, your chances drop dramatically each time, if you go two years without matching you basically have 0% chance of matching. You pick what you want to do early and tailor your research etc towards it in med school, but you dont finalize your decision until early 4th year of med school when you send out your apps.

You send out application to individual programs (of whatever specialty you chose) YOu then pray to god you get some interviews. You thank make a rank list of all your interview of 1 through 12 or however many you got. Each program then makes a rank list of every med student the interviews of like 1 through 300 or so. THese lists of each applicant and the lists from every program get put into an algorithm that then optimally matches them all. This si scary because until "match day" neither you nor the programs know where you will be going nor who will be coming to their program. The MATCH algorythm was designed to keep people from just hoarding invitations and waiting to accept until they got one they like liek you would with a normal job. Mathematically it's a brilliant process, but to live through it is fucking horrifying. THe formula has no mercy, it doesnt care where your sick parents live, your significant other lives or anything, it's pure math and brutal

Im not complaining, m making over half a million a year 4 years after med school, I love it and would 100% do it all over again, but I chose a good specialty that has good hours and genuinely fun job

Looks like something I described in OP (med school in Europe, residency in US) with added nuances like choosing these easy to apply residencies and “publishing”. The last one seems kinda hard if I need to write research articles while studying for my degree in Europe

It’s because medical schools are a cartel that regulate the number of doctors to keep wages high. Any time you see multiple years of schooling, licensing, internships, and testing you know you’re looking at a finely tuned machine designed to only produce an exact amount of something and allow any excess to be rejected at any previous stage.

The best move is to shoot for internal medicine if you are an IMG at community programs in midwest or southern states, can always do a fellowship after for high paying specialties ir just work as a hospitalist and be done after just 3 years of residency and still make 250s to low 300s. Shoot for programs in less desirable areas, network, publish and muter the USMLE Step 2, as in definitely get a score of >250

as an adhd fag i can guarantee i would not be able to study medicine. sometimes i went to the library with my medical student friends to study. they were studying there all afternoons and nights until the library closes and i could never concentrate on my own stuff for even 5 minutes

>> No.56381962

>>56381901
So for IMG

1) prestige university
2) publish medical research
3) residency in internal medicine and other specialties you mentioned as relatively easy to apply and less contested
4) residencies in hospitals in low income non-White neighborhoods
