Ahmedabad: For many doctors, working long, hours that do not exchange emergency is the norm.
No longer.
Many MBBS graduates, who miss the balance of work life, choose a career as a dermatologist or skin specialist to more sought-after branches such as radiology and general drugs.
The shift towards a non-risky and non-emergency specialization began about five years ago, but Covid – who worsened the fatigue of the doctor and the fatigue of compassion – had confirmed it to settle.
Dr.
Kesha Patel, who scored 642 on the Net PG exam this year, has chosen dermatology at BJ Medical College.
One of the top scorers in the state, Patel easily qualified for post-graduation studies in radiology and medicine, but he chose dermatology – fields that rarely involve the call of duty late at night.
With a demand for a cosmetic surgeon increase, it also promises a profitable career.
“This is a personal choice.
I want to spend more time with my family and friends.
I don’t want to take a lot of emergency work pressure.
Also, being a dermatologist gave me enough scope to start my own practice,” Patel said Has completed his MBBS from BR J Medical College.
Other students, Dr.
Tresha Vasani, with a high score of 638 values, said he also chose dermatology in other fields because it was less busy and allowed him to spend time with his family.
Dermatology has emerged as a hot favorite for PG medical acceptance this year, ran the neck with drugs as the most preferred field of the second after radiology.
Dermatologists treat diseases and cosmetic problems of the skin, hair, scalp, and nails.
This involves medical and surgical aspects.
Some specialists today also work in cosmetic dermatology.
Experts say the demand for quality skin specialists has soared over the past five years as people, influenced by social media, are increasingly aware of their beauty and appearance.
However, the demand for the field between doctors seems more related to maintaining the balance of work life by finding a field that offers more peace of mind compared to surgery and medicine.
“I don’t like surgery and want to work peacefully.
After specializing in medicine, you also need to pursue a super-specialtal course,” Vasani said.
Asked why he chose the dermatology of Radiology, Dr.
Jignakumari Patel, who scored 535 values in Neet PG this year said there was limited involvement with the patient.
“Also, there is not much capital costs for dermatology planning to establish their own clinic,” he added.
Dr.
Nitin Vora, Dean of Gmers Medical College and Hospital, Sola said that demand in dermatology has increased over the past five years.
“The similar trend has been seen in the US.
About two decades ago, only people with lower service scores that choose dermatology.
Now the trend has turned around.
The doctors today want to give enough time for the family.
Other fields need a doctor to attend Jobs at hours are not scheduled that do not occur here, “Vora said.
