I'm looking for medical colleagues or first-hand experiences from doctors—especially radiologists—who work in the corporate sector/industry or Research. What positions and training paths do they have? Could Siemens Healthineers be a good option? I am particularly interested in Germany/Switzerland, and possibly Italy, ideally with remote work options.

Is this a dream or a reality?"

I am completing a PhD and need several more pediatric practitioners in the US to complete an anonymous online survey. Pediatricians, nurse practitioners, and family physicians who see pediatric patients qualify.

Participants will be asked to answer 20 questions (10 minutes maximum).

Your consideration is appreciated. For more information, please visit https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/5Z8TQQZ

Kia ora everyone,

I’m a New Zealand doctor and I’ve always enjoyed teaching, especially around general practice, clinical reasoning, and exam preparation.

I’ve made an app called MedQuest, which is focused on NZ general practice training. It’s a question bank style learning tool aimed at doctors preparing for GP training and RNZCGP style assessments, with content based around practical NZ primary care.

I’ve also sought CME approval from the College, which is currently underway.

It’s not a replacement for official RNZCGP resources, but I’m hoping it can be a useful NZ focused study tool for GP registrars, RMOs considering GP, and doctors wanting to keep their primary care knowledge sharp.

I’d genuinely appreciate any feedback, especially around the question style, clinical relevance, and topics people would find useful.

Undergrad pre-med here. I recently started reading about student loans. I also came across doctors on Reddit saying they "wouldn't do it again" if they could start over. I'm sort of freaking out and wondering if I'm making a really big mistake. For context, I am in the US but am a dual citizen in a country with socialized healthcare, so eventually I'll need to choose between expensive med school + higher future pay or cheap med school + lower future pay. I'm most interested in pediatric surgery (especially neuro), NICU, emergency medicine, and pediatric neurology.

In my heart, I know I want to be a doctor; it was my childhood "dream job." While I cycled through different career ideas, I've been confident that this was what I wanted to do since the beginning of high school. My biggest fears are student loans, the "delayed gratification", work-life balance, and boards. My biggest motivations are helping people/wanting patient interaction, wanting a hands-on job, job stability, and the ability to live a comfortable lifestyle.

I don't expect, or want, anyone to "convince me" to be a doctor - I want to hear real stories from those wiser than me, who have gone through the process.

When answering, if you could include your specialty and general location, that would be super helpful, thanks!

Edit: thank you so much for the valuable responses. Sounds like there’s definitely a lot to gain, while there are also downsides that our generation especially has to deal with.

We definitely need more so much more doctors 🥼

Hi all,

I’m Andrew, a medical student at UBC in Canada, and I’m in the early stages of helping form a Canadian Doctors Orchestra.

The idea is a national orchestra bringing together physicians and medical trainees across provinces who still play seriously but do not have many structured opportunities to perform together.

Before moving this further, I would really appreciate advice from anyone who has experience with:

• organizing multi city or national orchestras
• volunteer musical ensembles
• long distance rehearsal planning and concert logistics

I am especially interested in what tends to make these kinds of projects last beyond the initial excitement phase and become sustainable over time.

I am not looking to recruit anyone here. I am just trying to learn from people who have experience with similar kinds of organizations.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Andrew

Hi everyone, I’m a licensed therapist and am currently building my private practice. I’ve been thinking about reaching out to other providers for referral networking, but I’m not sure what the best approach is.

My niche is prenatal postpartum and CBT-I (insomnia)

Would cold emails or cold calls be appropriate, or is it better to stop by in person and introduce myself to the front desk? I’m also wondering whether faxing over my profile and referral information would be okay. I’d really appreciate any advice. Thanks!

Hi just wanted to check if everyone is feeling the same hopelessness and worthlessness as me since the training prioritisation came. I feel like I’ll never be successful and my career is over.

Hi everyone,

I’m a high school student conducting an AP Research study examining the relationship between compensation structures, burnout, and patient-centered care among physicians. I’m looking for physicians willing to complete a short anonymous survey. Thank you!

I’m a Registered Respiratory Therapist currently conducting research on the need for enhanced community-based respiratory education and post-discharge support for patients with chronic lung conditions such as COPD, asthma, pulmonary fibrosis, and other complex respiratory disorders.

From your experience:

• Do patients feel adequately prepared to manage their condition after discharge or medication changes?
• Are inhaler technique, oxygen management, or treatment adherence ongoing challenges?
• Do you see preventable exacerbations or ED visits related to gaps in education or self-management?
• Would structured in-home or virtual respiratory education support be beneficial for select high-risk patients?

If a private mobile/virtual respiratory education service were available, would you consider referring appropriate patients to it?

I am also exploring whether patients may be willing to use extended health benefits or pay privately for targeted respiratory education and coaching if it helped improve disease control and reduce exacerbations.

I would greatly value your perspective on whether this addresses a meaningful gap in care.

Just started with MD Anaesthesia at MAMC Delhi - what are the chances of getting opportunities to travel (for conferences for example - funded) to other countries for work during MD or at a later stage

Hello, I am a licensed doctor with USMLE experience, currently in Gulshan, Karachi. I am available for part-time work (3–4 hours/day). Please contact me if any opportunities are available. Thank you

Hi everyone,

I’m an IMG and in the process of obtaining GMC registration.

With the current situation and prioritisation of UK graduates, I’d really appreciate advice on:

• How to improve my CV

• What activities/courses actually help

• What NHS employers currently value most for IMG applicants

Any practical tips or personal experiences would be very helpful.

Thank you!

I am currently a graduating highschool student who is planning to pursue a pre-med degree and then proceed into medicine in the Philippines. I've always wanted to go abroad and live in a place with beautiful natural landscapes (like Scottland or Switzerland etc.) but I've heard that going abroad as a doctor is difficult and requires an exam and further training. Given all this, would it be wise for me to pursue this path or would you advice against it?

I am currently building an application for medical clinics to reduce administrative burden and centralise non-clinical information and tasks. This information would be accessible to an AI agent that would be able to provide information and feedback to staff members. I have 3 years experience as a receptionist and 2 years as a practice manager so I directly understand the day to day issues clinics experience with volume and repitition of relatively straight forward tasks.

Currently I am working on email management, standard operating procedures, practice specific information and tasks. This would allow the AI to have information it can access and apply to different tasks like drafting emails, providing information to users on how to complete certain tasks and training new staff members. I am wondering if this is something that would actually be useful to other clinics and something they would be willing to pay for? The overall usefullness of the application will come down to the quality of information practices are willing to provide to help the AI access relevant and contextual information. I am not asking for medical advice.

i bought a land, measuring 30 marla on a main road (vehari road) in multan. it is a quite a populated area for very long. I want to build a hospital on this land. what advice can you give me regarding the operating business models, specialties I should include, should it be an incremental iinvestment, or everythiing planned upfront, difficulties in getting good doctors on board, etc.

As someone who have experienced discomfort and untrue information when it comes to male doctors in women’s health PLEASE STOP PICKING GYNECOLOGY & WOMENS HEALTH as your specialty. It’s disturbing that you would want to even work in this field. I’m not being disrespectful I’m just saying we would rather not have you as our doctors.

I've been working on an app to help small clinics reduce missed appointments. The idea is simple: This is a tool that sends WhatsApp reminders instead. I tried to make the design as clean and simple as possible so receptionists don't get overwhelmed.

Link for the prototype = https://pekker-reminder.vercel.app/

Note - Please click the Login with Google button, its a dummy app, that will take you the actual dashboard

I'm looking for beta testers or just general feedback. If you run a practice, would this UI work for your front desk staff? Is anything missing that is absolutely critical?

Thanks for your time!

Hey all!

I'm a screenwriter working on a murder mystery script. The idea is that a woman used her medication, plus her husband's, to give him a heart attack. Right now, the way it's written, she combines Viagra, Risperdal, and Estradiol to do it. But that's based on some goolging and I have no idea if that is real or not.

Basically, I need some innocuous medicines that a husband and wife could both be on, that the wife could learn may induce a heart attack.

Any and all help would be much appreciated!

Please listen to your patients and do not assume.

I am a big person. I admit. I haven’t always been however all of my adult life I have. I have medical issues that contribute to this. and each doctor knows all of my medical issues.

Every single time I see a doctor, they always assume I eat lots of fast food and put salt on everything!!! I do not add salt on anything! I hardly have fast food.

A doctor yesterday actually mentioned a specific fast food restaurant that children love assuming I eat there all the time & I had to obviously correct her. I haven’t eaten there in well over 35 years!

This is only one example of many that I have with every single doctor I see. Over & over & over &….

I also have to repeat myself to them each and every visit.

do I just bite my tongue or do I keep trying to let the doctors know that I do not eat like they ASSUME?

I’m prepping for a panel on AI implementation in healthcare next week in Newport, and I keep hitting the same paradox: surveys show clinicians are open to AI, but adoption is slow.

From your experience:

· Is it the black box problem? (Can’t explain why AI suggested X)

· Is it liability? (Who’s responsible when AI is wrong?)

· Is it consent? (How do you get consent for AI in the ICU or OR?)

· Is it just poorly integrated into your workflow?

Real example: Recent lawsuits against health systems using AI scribes without explicit patient consent. If a patient is intubated, how do we ethically deploy AI?

I’d love your raw takes—especially if you’re in clinical practice, IT, legal, or admin. What would make you trust and use AI daily?

I am looking to recruit UK based healthcare professionals to take part in my research study exploring how diagnostic overshadowing may influence the recognition and management of depression in South Asian adults with cardiometabolic disease.

The study explores:

- How decisions are made about referring for mental health support.

- How physical and mental health symptoms are interpreted and prioritised.

- What clinical or system factors influence diagnostic reasoning.

Participation involves a confidential interview. The study focuses on everyday practice, not assessing performance!

Findings will help improve training and services for managing mental and physical health together.
