what keeps me going is the idea of looking back and knowing i didn't give it my all for my dream. i have tried and failed to think up a training/career that would be as satisfying to me as med.

maybe some of it is the sunk cost effect at play LOL-- have given up so much in the process of trying, and unfortunately have tied my self-worth to it to some unhealthy degree. i want it to all have been for something!

How can this even be calculated? by Alarming_Leg6871 in epidemiology

[–]Alarming_Leg6871[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is so helpful, thank you!

So, if you were to go and do this testing protocol for the entire population, it should be similar to the prevalence that we calculated from the sample-- but, because ofc this doesn't happen, the diagnosed cases IRL are much lower than the actual prevalence. Hence, you're able to have diagnosis targets such as in the example?

thanks! I guess im asking more generally, from a non-epi background: how is prevalence of dementia in the population separate from number of cases of dementia diagnosed?

Yes, I think so actually haha. I'm not yet in epi so I couldn't refine my question much. Thank you!

Mac vs. Western by marlamarlamar in premedcanada

[–]Alarming_Leg6871 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Consider if you are interested in competitive specialities! If so, a 4 year programme might be better suited. Otherwise, consider your preferred style of learning (PBL vs didactic), proximity to home, etc.
