Some medical specialties are much cooler and more interesting than people give them credit for.

有些醫學專科其實比大家認為的還要酷、更有趣。

What medical paths Continue to Fly under the radar?

Jubbal medschoolinsiders.com let's take a deeper look at five of the most underrated specialties first, we have family medicine, which is at the center of primary care and often the first point of contact between patients and the healthcare system.

Jubbal medschoolinsiders.com 讓我們深入探討五個最被低估的專科，首先是家庭醫學，它是初級照護的核心，也是病患與醫療體系之間的第一接觸點。

Family medicine is often looked down upon by other specialties, especially the more sub specialized ones.

家庭醫學常被其他專科看輕，尤其是那些次專科。

However, there are several misconcept at play when it comes to the way people view family medicine doctors.

然而，關於大家如何看待家庭醫學醫師，其實存在一些誤解。

For instance, many believe family medicine physicians lack expertise because they frequently refer their patients to specialists when complications arise.

例如，許多人認為家庭醫學醫師缺乏專業知識，因為他們常在出現併發症時將病患轉介給專科醫師。

In reality, family medicine doctors are experts when it comes to handling general complaints, especially when patients are presenting with five or six different diseases.

事實上，家庭醫學醫師在處理一般性疾病方面是專家，特別是當病患出現五、六種不同疾病時。

Part of the reason family medicine is underrated is because it's the sixth lowest paid medical specialty at just over $300,000 a year.

家庭醫學被低估的部分原因在於，它是薪資第六低的醫學專科，年薪僅略高於 30 萬美元。

Check out our low newest Paid specialties video link in the description it's an unfortunate reality that in our healthcare system, procedures are worth more than complex visits, which is why surgical specialties earn more money.

看看我們最新的薪資最高的醫學專科影片，連結在說明區，在我們的醫療體系中，手術比複雜的門診更有價值，這是不幸的現實，這也是為什麼外科專科賺得更多。

But despite the smaller paycheck, there's a lot to love about family medicine.

然而，儘管薪水較少，家庭醫學還是有很多值得喜愛的地方。

First, there's quite a bit of versatility.

As a family medicine doctor, you can tailor your practice however you want.

身為家庭醫學醫師，你可以隨心所欲地打造自己的執業模式。

You can work in the clinic, be a hospitalist, or focus on obstetrics or go into rural medicine.

你可以在診所執業，成為內科住院醫師，或者專攻產科學，甚至投入鄉村醫學。

For example, family medicine can be an entry point to career paths like sports medicine.

例如，家庭醫學可以是一個入門點，通往運動醫學等職涯路徑。

Second, the work life balance is excellent.

其次，工作與生活的平衡非常棒。

Many family medicine physicians have four day work weeks with regular nine to five schedules.

許多家庭醫學醫師每週工作四天，時間是固定的朝九晚五。

Of course, this is part of the reason family medicine physicians earn less than many other specialists.

當然，這也是家庭醫學醫師收入不如許多其他專科醫師的原因之一。

For example, vascular surgeons bring home over $550,000 a year, over 250k more than family medicine doctors.

舉例來說，血管外科醫師一年能賺超過 55 萬美元，比家庭醫學醫師多賺 25 萬美元以上。

But they are frequently on call and work both longer and more unpredictable hours.

不過，他們經常需要值班，工作時間更長且更難預測。

It all depends on your priorities and interests.

這完全取決於你的優先順序和興趣。

Link in the description Second on our list is pathology.

連結在說明欄。第二項是病理學。

Pathology is the field of medicine concerned with the study of body tissues and fluids.

病理學是醫學領域中，專門研究身體組織和體液的學科。

Stereotypically, pathologists are the physicians who spend all their day studying samples under the microscope.

刻板印象中，病理科醫師整天都在顯微鏡下研究樣本。

In reality, pathologists help doctors make diagnoses that may change the entire course of treatment.

事實上，病理科醫師能協助醫生做出診斷，進而可能改變整個治療方向。

People often think pathology is a medical field exclusively for introverts and those who don't want to deal with patients.

人們常以為病理學是個只適合內曏者、不喜歡跟病患打交道的人的醫學領域。

However, pathology requires significant interpersonal communication skills, as you'll often be managing teams of residents, techs and assistants.

然而，病理學其實需要相當的人際溝通技巧，因為你常需要管理住院醫師、技術人員和助理組成的團隊。

These leadership roles increase more in the private sector, especially if you're running your own clinical lab.

這些領導職位在私人領域中會增加，尤其如果你經營自己的臨床實驗室。

You're also in constant communication with doctors from other specialties, especially in multidisciplinary conferences like Tumor Boards, where doctors from different specialties meet to discuss complex cancer patients.

你也需要經常與其他專科的醫師溝通，特別是在跨領域會議，例如腫瘤委員會，不同專科的醫師會在這裡討論複雜的癌症病患。

Pathology also has a great lifestyle as they're rarely on call, usually only coming in for emergencies like certain leukemias or transplant evaluations.

病理學的生活方式也很棒，因為他們很少需要值班，通常只在處理某些白血病或移植評估等緊急情況時才需要進醫院。

Their schedules are stable and they work around 47 hours per week on average.

他們的班表很穩定，平均每週工作約 47 小時。

Additionally, telepathology, or practicing pathology from the comfort of your home is now a viable option for those who would prefer to work from home.

此外，遠距病理學，也就是在家舒適地執業病理學，現在對那些想在家工作的人來說也是一個可行的選擇。

While it's not as lucrative as other specialties, the average pay for pathology is comfortably in the middle of the pack, averaging slightly over $360,000 a year.

雖然不像其他專科那麼賺錢，但病理學的平均薪資舒適地落在中間，平均每年略高於 36 萬美元。

Allergy and immunology focuses on dysfunctional immune systems.

過敏與免疫學專注於免疫系統功能失調。

Allergists treat patients with all kinds of allergies as well as patients with asthma, immunodeficiencies and more.

過敏科醫師會治療各種過敏的病患，以及氣喘、免疫缺陷等病患。

Many people think allergists only give allergy shots and see patients with runny noses.

很多人認為過敏科醫師只會打過敏針，以及看診有鼻塞的病患。

The reality is the patients they see are often extremely complex and allergists are called in when no one else can understand what's wrong.

事實上，他們看的病患通常非常複雜，當其他人都搞不清楚病因時，就會找過敏科醫師。

Allergists also get to work in novel research, doing clinical trials to discover novel vaccines and immunotherapies.

過敏科醫師也能投入新穎的研究，進行臨床試驗，研發新的疫苗和免疫療法。

So the day to day of an allergist is quite intellectually stimulating.

所以過敏科醫師的日常工作非常具有智力上的挑戰性。

AI physicians work in outpatient settings or in labs and have a typical 8 to 4 job with minimal call.

AI 醫師在門診或實驗室執業，通常是朝八晚四的工作，值班需求很少。

These physicians tend to continue practicing long into their life rather than retiring because the work is fun, not terribly taxing on the physical body and you can always step back to part time.

這些醫師傾向於長期執業而非退休，因為工作有趣，對身體負擔不大，而且隨時可以轉為兼職。

Of course, this work life balance does come with a lower salary as they make just over $320,000 a year.

當然，這種工作生活平衡也意味著較低的薪資，他們每年收入僅略高於 32 萬美元。

Recent years have demonstrated there is a substantial need for AIs.

近年來顯示，對 AI 的需求相當大。

Physicians who take on leadership positions have the opportunity to help guide communities through emerging health crises and future pandemics.

擔任領導職位的醫師有機會引導社區度過新興的健康危機和未來的流行病。

At number four is physical medicine and rehabilitation, also known as PMNR or physiatry.

第四名是物理醫學與復健科，也稱為 PMNR 或物理治療。

PM&R deals with diseases of the neuromuscular system, focusing on both inpatient and outpatient management of non operative orthopedics and neurorehabilitation One reason PMNR is underrated is because many people confuse physiatrists with physical therapists.

物理醫學與復健科處理神經肌肉系統的疾病，著重於非手術骨科和神經復健的住院及門診照護。PMNR 被低估的原因之一是許多人會將復健科醫師與物理治療師搞混。

While physical therapists deal with musculoskeletal pathologies and physical regimens to help patients, physiatrists do not actively handle their patients physical therapy.

物理治療師處理肌肉骨骼病變和物理療程來幫助病患，但復健科醫師並不主動執行病患的物理治療。

Instead, physiatrists work closely with physical therapists, typically prescribing the regimens that physical therapists carry out.

相反地，復健科醫師會與物理治療師密切合作，通常會開立物理治療師執行的療程。

They also evaluate the patients from a medical perspective and and perform any procedures that may help ease the patient's symptoms such as nerve blocks, joint injections and more.

他們也會從醫學角度評估病患，並執行任何有助於緩解病患症狀的手術，例如神經阻斷術、關節注射等。

Physiatry is much more than curing patients from a simple pathology.

復健醫學不僅是治療病患的單純病理。

Physiatrists aim to help patients reclaim their independence after life changing circumstances through both medical and procedural treatment modalities.

復健科醫師的目標是透過醫療和手術治療方式，幫助病患在改變人生的情況後重拾獨立。

Generally, physiatrists work from 8am to 5pm Monday to Friday with very minimal call and they rarely work nights or weekends.

一般來說，復健科醫師的工作時間是週一至週五早上 8 點到下午 5 點，輪班極少，很少在晚上或週末工作。

Not only that, physiatrists are well compensated for their hours, earning nearly $380,000 on average.

不僅如此，復健科醫師的工時報酬豐厚，平均收入接近 38 萬美元。

Those who work in private practice can earn more and those who specialize in procedures can earn still more than that.

在私人診所執業的醫師收入會更高，而專精於手術的醫師收入會更高。

Lastly, we have sleep medicine which focuses on diseases that affect our sleep quality like obstructive sleep apnea, insomnia, restless leg syndrome, narcolepsy and more.

最後，我們有睡眠醫學，它專注於影響睡眠品質的疾病，例如阻塞性睡眠呼吸中止症、失眠、不寧腿症候群、嗜睡症等。

Sleep medicine doctors work primarily in the outpatient setting and have two main roles.

睡眠醫學醫師主要在門診執業，有兩個主要職責。

The first is to conduct and interpret sleep studies where patients are hooked up to a machine for the night that monitors their sleep patterns.

第一是執行和判讀睡眠檢查，讓病患整晚連接儀器監測睡眠模式。

Their second role is to see and treat patients in the clinic.

他們的第二個職責是看診並治療病患。

Sleep medicine is a one year fellowship you can pursue after finishing one of many residencies.

睡眠醫學是完成許多住院醫師訓練後，可以進修一年的次專科。

Some sleep physicians are also pulmonologists, which means they finished three years of internal medicine training, three years of pulmonary and critical care fellowship, and

有些睡眠專科醫師也是胸腔內科醫師，這表示他們完成了三年內科訓練、三年胸腔暨重症加護次專科訓練，以及

However, recently more internists are going straight into sleep medicine after finishing their IM residency.

然而，最近有越來越多內科醫師在完成內科住院醫師訓練後，直接進入睡眠醫學領域。

Other residency options that can lead to sleep medicine include pediatrics, neurology, psychiatry, family medicine, otolaryngology or anesthesiology, and

其他可能通往睡眠醫學的住院醫師選項包括兒科、神經科、精神科、家庭醫學、耳鼻喉科或麻醉科，

in these cases you would tailor your practice to the sleep disorders most relevant to your specialty.

在這些情況下，你會將你的執業內容調整為與你的專科最相關的睡眠障礙。

For example, pediatric sleep medicine specialists might prefer to see children with sleep disorders, and

例如，兒科睡眠醫學專科醫師可能會偏好看診患有睡眠障礙的兒童，

neurologic sleep medicine specialists can become their region's experts in sleep disorders with underlying neurologic diseases.

神經內科睡眠醫學專科醫師，可以成為他們地區裡，處理神經系統疾病睡眠障礙的專家。

The salary for sleep medicine doctors varies and is less widely reported as it's still an emerging career path.

睡眠醫學醫師的薪資會有所不同，而且由於這還是一個新興的職涯發展方向，相關的薪資資訊較少被廣泛報導。

Salary is dependent on the physician's primary specialty, training, practice setting, years of experience and industry leadership, with salaries ranging from 240 to $500,000.

薪資會依據醫師的主要專科、訓練、執業地點、經驗年資和產業領導力而定，薪資範圍從 24 萬到 50 萬不等。

For example, a pulmonologist who pursues further sleep medicine training stands to earn a higher paycheck than a family medicine physician with sleep medicine training.

舉例來說，一位進修睡眠醫學訓練的胸腔內科醫師，相較於一位接受睡眠醫學訓練的家庭醫學醫師，有機會獲得更高的薪水。
