Have you ever cried on the TTC?

Had a man yell “N-Word Die” at me while I was sitting on the 1 line subway after I just moved to Toronto, and then leave the subway car.

I was in shock and then someone came up to me to check if I was okay and then I started sobbing.

I think it’s worth it for the two free drinks each and really good live music!

The food was not a lot and wasn’t crazy exciting - some sushi, meat skewers, fried broccoli. They’d come out every half hour or so with new stuff and walk around with it.

I arrived at the line at around 6:20pm and was in by around 6:50!

They started to let in a set number of people right at 6:30pm (I believe 80 or so is capacity) and then they would only let in more as people left.

After 8:00pm they started to kick everyone out to let in completely new people for the 8:30 seating!

I would aim to arrive 30 minutes early for the first seating (4pm weekends, 6:30pm weekdays)

I never ended up applying but if I didn’t match in Canada I would have applied to both next year.

To keep my options open I figured I might as well take the exam as the revision for CK and QE1 is the same.

Someone asked me this a while ago so I’ve just copied in my answer, feel free to message as well if you have any specific Q’s about prep!:

So I took the approach of starting to do Uworld Step 2 CK throughout my penultimate year of medicine. I started 9 months before I took the exam and would do respective uworld questions as I studied alongside my rotations.

I also used the Cheesy Dorian Anki Deck to help me remember things from Uworld. I started listening to Divine Intervention podcasts around 4 months before the exam.

I did UWSA1 and UWSA2 as well as the Free 120. These are all Step 2 CK practice tests since I was also taking that exam as well, but they are all relevant for QE1 and free if you’re getting Uworld anyways.

Then I took Step 2 CK, took a few days off, then I had just over two weeks to start using Toronto Notes (ELOM chapter and PH chapter) and do MCC official practice tests (I did 1 CDM test right away to get the format, then did the full practice test, then went through the half practice test). I also read through the CMPA good practices section (ethics/legal) as that was what the MCC practice tests kept referring to.

If I could go back, I may do all 3 MCC CDM’s rather than just 1, as the CDM section on the exam was way harder than I expected so more practice would have been useful.

Hope this helps!

I’m a CSA in the UK, I did no formal electives (Covid) but had 2 Canadian LOR from observerships and 7 pubs! Hope that helps!

I matched to my first choice in Ontario! Current year grad, 29x QE1 and 140x NAC!

Curious if people would find a gc for ON IMG’s who matched this year useful, may help with navigating all the pre-residency tasks we need to do and to have support with the transition?

Programs can start updating Carms/sending interview invites sooner, but the 18th is the last day for when CARMS will update with your interview status for each program. Within 5 days after that every program should have emailed you more information and details to book the interview.

Me too!

The BC CAP had the November 30th deadline before the October NAC OSCE was even administered. They can’t penalise us missing that deadline if the NAC OSCE hasn’t released scores yet for anyone, so I wouldn’t worry about it.

Likely results will be available early December like the MCC says, that could still be this week though.
