residency and that's how i ended up back in l.a and so you do residency in whatever field um so i did pediatrics and then that's that's grey's anatomy and scrubs that's residency right right and the first year of residency is called interneer and so if you hear people talking about entertainment that's the worst one right that's the worst one yeah that was that first year i was here that it's such a huge learning curve you're the lowest on the totem pole you're getting all the pages yeah all what's all the pages so anytime someone needs anything you page the intern so the interns pagers if you are if you're at a hospital that has interns uh so residency is is your training immediately out of medical school and that is like your specialty and if you want to sub-specialize within that specialty so for example pediatrics is just the beginning so if you want to do like pediatric neurology pediatric cardiology pediatric oncology which is like cancer all of these are different like sub specialties and they require more training and so you go to fellowship for another in pediatrics most of the time it's three years but it's a variety across fields and in that you're learning just that narrow like sub-specialty and so once you graduate that you would take your boards and be like board-certified in like pediatrics and pediatric cardiology and so if you go see a pediatric cardiologist for example they're going to have done residency and then fellowship and in residency they're kind of jumping around each specialty so you'll always see the same fellow in rounds like let's say you were a nurse or a patient in the hospital you'll always see the same fellow and attendings but the residents you'll see which are the ones who are coming into your room assessing presenting right and they'll jump around just so they can get exposure but they're being overseen by the people who this is their this is like yeah these NUMBER_TOKEN people are theirs and then like on the flip side like you're like wes's pediatrician is like most likely did not go to a fellowship right like like you go to residency and then you take your boards and you're a pediatrician and then you you know so they're like general pediatricians or general but they've done all the specialties in their residency well i know that west's pediatrician was at chla and so they did their residency there yep got it okay but then they didn't do fellowship right because you sure don't have a residency like residency is required for everybody and so once you do that and you could take your boards in that whatever you did residency in and then you can practice right like if i decided that i was like you know what i just want to be a pediatrician i could like theoretically drop out of fellowship and go work at a pediatrics office right and so fellowship is to work in a hospital uh no well it depends on the field but like pediatric cardiology works in the hospital and in the clinic but it's but it's like to be a pediatric cardiologist yeah got it yeah okay so maggie the days are getting a little darker and you know in those times when the days are just getting darker i am so glad that i can turn to better help betterhelp will assess your needs and match
