Leigh and colleagues sampled over 6000 doctors to shed light on annual work hours across 41 specialties.
When doctors refer to a specialty’s lifestyle, they’re referring to two things: (1) how much money you’ll make and (2) how hard you have to work, including total hours, irregular hours, or overall how taxing the job is. Despite what many people say, it’s no coincidence that the most competitive and sought-after specialties in medicine also rank highly in pay, work/life balance, prestige, or some combination of them. That’s nonsense, and you shouldn’t fall victim to such virtue signaling games with holier-than-thou thinking. The strange this is that many people will virtue signal and claim that they don’t care about money or any of those supposed lesser desires that only other, amoral humans succumb to. Look, we’re all human, and there’s no shame in you wanting to pursue a specialty that compensates you well without demanding you work crazy hours. While that still mostly holds true, there’s much more to the story. The ROAD specialties, standing for radiology, ophthalmology, anesthesiology, and dermatology have historically been the best for those optimizing for lifestyle. These are the specialties to consider if you’re looking for lifestyle – high pay and low hours. But that isn’t the case for every doctor specialty. They say being a doctor is great – you’ll help people, make a lot of money, and work reasonable hours. Premed & Medical Student Annual Scholarship.2020 Medical School Application Updates.
