Why I Chose ER Over Every Other Specialty

Choosing a medical specialty is one of the hardest decisions you’ll make in medical school. You come in with expectations… and most of them change. In fact, the majority of medical students end up choosing a different specialty than they originally planned. In this video, I walk through a simple framework that can help you narrow things down—based on your interests, personality, and real clinical experiences. From medicine vs surgery, to inpatient vs outpatient, to lifestyle, pace, and patient population… this is a practical way to think through the decision. This isn’t about finding the perfect specialty—it’s about getting close enough that it actually fits you. 🔔 Subscribe for real, honest insights into medicine, healthcare, and personal growth:    / @joshkorzanmd   Chapters: 00:00 Introduction 00:48 Ok, so you made it to medical school 02:30 Surgical Specialties 02:49 OB-GYN 03:02 Surgery 03:18 Medical Specialties 03:36 Psychiatry 03:52 Neurology 04:21 Pediatrics 04:33 Internal Medicine (1/2) 05:01 Family Medicine 05:16 Emergency Medicine 05:53 Internal Medicine (2/2) 06:17 Other Considerations 07:44 My Algorithm/Experiences 08:25 Surgery vs. Medicine 08:38 OB-GYN 09:20 Surgery 10:55 Medical Specialties 11:21 Jack-of-all-Trades 11:34 Adults vs. Kids 11:59 Family Med vs. *Emergency 12:32 My Specialty of Choice ✨ Visit here for RP Strength training and diet plans!
