    High compensation + best lifestyle = insanely competitive
  • @tinytron
    i hope to be a dermatologist in the future. i’ve had countless nights of crying about my skin, my skin being constantly commented on by family, avoiding mirrors because i just couldn’t stand looking at my face. i tried hiding my face as much as possible for years.. i hope to help others who struggle with their self confidence and watch them slowly leave out the clinic glowing.
  • @saturnza
    im 13 and watching this because i suffered with acne since 5th grade and i want to help people sooo badly. So, im researching how to become one so i can prepare :)
  • @AB-rq1zt
    He’s going to make a video about each specialty, I don’t know why there is a need for people to ruin the comment section :/
  • @ryanmarlett7401
    From someone who has worked for several years in general Derm and Mohs clinic, this is extremely accurate.
  • My dream course is to be a DERMATOLOGIST🥰. It is my dream ever since I was a kid. I have been inspired on my auntie who’s always in the clinic and to my skin because my skin is so sensitive, just like today i am suffering from the skin acne in my face and to my body😣 and it makes me feel insecure to the other girls out there and it motivates me to become a Dermatologist someday in God’s plan🙏. I can be able to study related to the topic that I wanted to learn from my experiences🤗.
  • @JasonPCVideos
    I can’t wait to see “So you want to be a Psychiatrist”. It’s so hard finding content about psychiatry!
  • I love that you add how your personality might influence your choice in speciality, or residency type. I appreciate that you say what personality traits are common for each speciality, etc.
  • @brendac.3537
    I’m thinking of being a dermatologist as my career but I’m not sure if I’m passionate enough to spend so many years of my life in school for this. Then again, I just thought of this like 10 minutes ago so maybe I shouldn’t worry lol.
  • @Tracheaaa
    I’m still a kid but it’s my dream to be a dermatologist, I’m trying my best to learn as much as I can!
  • @devloyola3411
    Thank you for thr video Doc! I want to have a big family in the future, and I have to spend time with my children then. I think the predictable and flexible working hours in Dermatology makes it so attractive. God bless to future Dermatologists like myself 🙏
  • Dr. J, you and I are going to be throwing hands if you don’t do anesthesiology.
  • I'm a 15 year old female, and my mom had something called Psoriasis on her legs when she was attending High School. She was made fun of it a lot and when my mom meet her first husband, he took her to see a Dermatologist to help get rid of the skin disease. Fortunately, her legs are way better now, and the skin on her legs are smooth as can be. This made we want to become a Dermatlogist. I not only want to help people with their skin and bodies, but to also help them feel comfortable in it.
  • I have a skin condition known as Seborrheic dermatitis, for about a few years now, it has become my biggest insecurity as it was never able to go away and if it was gone for about a day it would come back really easily, I had a bunch of comments about it but I was always interested in dermatology helping people with diseases on the skin and make them not feel bad about themselves because there's nothing to be ashamed about!! I hope in the future I can help people going through these kinds of insecurities, stay strong out there guys!!
  • Dr. Jubbal, do you plan to do an "applying to residency" series for medical students? Thanks so much!
  • I have the weirdest combination of top three specialties I would be interested in. Cardiology, Anesthesia, and Radiology. I would appreciate it very much if you covered these three before the series ends
  • @Shawarma101
    I recently got into skincare, my dad is pharmacist and because of that we can by expensive things, I’ve thought about it a lot and even tho I absolutely hate science, I love taking care of my body and I really admire dermatologists with perfect skin so if studying bio and chem means I’ll become a dermatologist then I’ll do my best 😊
  • I think that SO MANY PEOPLE have been waiting too long for “so you want to be an anesthesiologist” . I think you should do this one next
