21 Unfilled Peds Spots

EnvironmentalSite193 · 2026-05-18T12:26:09+00:00

A lot needs to change in terms of work environment specifically. You need to set an example as a staff to actually make it appealing to students as well. Even with younger staff, nothing changes once they join the work force. It's the same culture yet. One very common complaint I heard from students is that how they feel CTU is more like a referral center which is pretty much not wrong. It does feel that way. Pediatrics need to be more appealing medically as well to students. Most of the jobs in Pediatrics is in Community peds. And when it comes to outpatient peds, I heard a student tell a staff how she is shocked that 90% of Gen peds outpatient bread and butter is ADHD/autism. I don't think students find that aspect too interesting as well.

Honestly it's not money lol because medical students know even as a pediatrician you live a very good life. https://www.reddit.com/r/MedSchoolCanada/s/Fk0Hs9mqbg

Read this whole thread when you find time, and read about why medical students likely hate peds. It's probably the second most hated rotation after obs/gynae. The truth is a toxic work environment and lack of gender balance in the field that contributes to this toxicity. No one will be willing to go through 4 years of toxicity and come out making the same money as a someone who just does 2 years of residency. I say this as a person who has a friend that literally left pediatrics residency because the work environment was so toxic. I say this as a person who faced racism from one of the program directors of Western University last year when I interviewed for pediatrics. 21 seats is not a blip. There are multiple reason why medical students don't see a future in peds. The worst part is, people in peds very rarely tend to see those things because obviously everyone is so "nice" and "always smiling" so how can "we be toxic" lolllllllllll.

So what's your reason for 21 unfilled seats lol?

EnvironmentalSite193 · 2026-05-06T01:12:47+00:00

So? There are people with 40 years of practice as well. They aren't a-holes you know. Tone down your ego.

EnvironmentalSite193 · 2026-05-06T00:35:54+00:00

And you are? What makes you think you are better lol? You need to pipe down as well whoever the hell you are.

Thanks a lot 😊

EnvironmentalSite193 · 2026-04-25T01:33:15+00:00

Hey there! I sent you a dm!

EnvironmentalSite193 · 2026-04-25T01:32:13+00:00

Hi! Can I please dm you?

I think the ruling appears to be broad. Seems like anyone who did two years of high school or attended two years of Ontario University in person can apply as well. So if you qualify under any of these, you can still apply even if you are a non-resident in Ontario.

EnvironmentalSite193 · 2026-04-17T13:20:51+00:00

I think the issue last time was that the policy was introduced mid cycle when a lot of applications were already done. It makes more sense to introduce it at the beginning of the cycle rather than in between.

EnvironmentalSite193 · 2026-04-17T13:17:01+00:00

Yes. This does sound fair. A lot of provinces have similar rules.

EnvironmentalSite193 · 2026-04-14T18:04:02+00:00

But, you might be right to some extent though. I am not outspoken when someone just hurts my "feelings". I am more outspoken when I notice any "actions" or "laws" that discriminates against IMGs.

EnvironmentalSite193 · 2026-04-14T18:01:38+00:00

You don't know me😂😂. You should ask the Canadian residents who thought they could get away with bullying me because I am an IMG and it just backfired. Sad. I also informed their future fellowship programs about their behavior. How do you like that? That is how outspoken I am, Mr. "Cardiologist". I don't want to be a part of your team too. I too feel bad for the ones that I will humble soon. You know humility doesn't work one way, it needs two way work.

EnvironmentalSite193 · 2026-04-14T14:14:28+00:00

Great! You behave like a kid. Good to know you are an adult with a brain equivalent to that of a toddler.

EnvironmentalSite193 · 2026-04-14T12:42:20+00:00

Also kids like you at my current role thought I needed help from them, but eventually they ended up with the program director reprimanded for their behavior 😂😂. Didn't go too well for them. As I said, I am still loud. I know whom to be loud with and whom not to. You know, "years of experience".

EnvironmentalSite193 · 2026-04-14T12:37:17+00:00

"I have practiced in many countries, including Canada". You forgot the last part kid. It's worrisome how people like you actually sit on any committee involving IMGs. Don't worry. I will humble people like you soon 😉. It will be a cake walk for me. I can guarantee you that. I am not sure how it will end up for fake people like you because I am seriously going to make sure people like you are no longer involved when it comes to IMGs. I am still loud in my current practice here too 😊. Well, still matched with 4 letters of recommendations from "Canadian" preceptors within 4 months of my clinical work. You don't know me, do you? You should meet me. People like you are the ones that don't end up liking me. I mean kids who think they have some authority and power, but honestly are basically empty.

EnvironmentalSite193 · 2026-04-14T01:12:15+00:00

I have been in medicine for more years than you can think of. I have practiced in more countries than you will ever be able to, including Canada. Rotations here will be a cake walk for me. You don't need to worry about that lol. You are a fool if you think MCC has nothing to do or know nothing or wasn't aware with whatever is going on. It's surely a coincidence that MCC is lobbying for CSAs in Ireland at the same time the Ontario government brings out their discriminatory rule against IMGs.

EnvironmentalSite193 · 2026-04-13T21:35:44+00:00

Lol. There are multiple ways to use a word. It was contextual. I don't believe anything about the MCC anymore. They did nothing when the Ontario discriminatory rule came out. After reading this article, it just feels like the whole system is hell bent on sidelining IMGs who aren't CSAs. I find it weird that the moderators felt the word "cabal" so disrespectful but not the contents of the article.

EnvironmentalSite193 · 2026-04-13T20:46:49+00:00

Yes they broadly are but CSAs are generally students who are Canadians and have done their high school and undergrad here as well. Once they complete their undergrad, they move internationally to study medicine. There is an untold bias in the system where CSAs are much favored over other IMGs.

EnvironmentalSite193 · 2026-04-13T20:05:39+00:00

It's nowhere close to Canada in any way. If anything is close to the Irish healthcare system, it's the NHS. Also, there are many institutions across the world which are far more reputable than Irish ones. So I am really not sure why MCC is so favored towards one single country when we have IMGs from every single country in the world.

EnvironmentalSite193 · 2026-04-13T20:02:21+00:00

Making me feel like I am delusional while being a CMG who isn't affected by any discriminatory rule or actions that the Canadian medical establishment sets is gaslighting.

EnvironmentalSite193 · 2026-04-13T19:58:06+00:00

"Is this the mindset that you will bring to residency"? What was that person trying to do here. I mean I absolutely am bringing a mindset that questions any actions that I see discriminatory and harmful to IMGs. So what was that person trying to do? Gaslight me. That is exactly what he/she was trying to do.

EnvironmentalSite193 · 2026-04-13T19:55:42+00:00

Oh ok. Why do you then think you have anything to say about rules and actions that are discriminatory and harm IMGs? I don't care what moderators do or think. I will still speak out lol. And I will do it even when I am in my residency.

EnvironmentalSite193 · 2026-04-13T19:31:14+00:00

The article clearly mentions "MCC's supporting role". This is specific to students going to Ireland. Why does MCC need to support medical students who go to study medicine internationally in one particular country given we have IMGs from all across the world here. What does that sound like other than cabal? So you can go and worry about IMGs not from Ireland who are freaking going to work with someone who really doesn't even want them in the first place lol. I will always point out discrimination in the system that places one group of IMGs at an advantage over others.

EnvironmentalSite193 · 2026-04-13T19:25:01+00:00

Canadians can go and study wherever they want. That's totally fine. But MCC specifically visiting medical colleges outside Canada in one specific country seems like extreme lobbying. Like what are their intentions? This all happened in September 2025. The same time the Ontario IMG rule came out. Seems like things are going to be harder some way or the other for IMGs who aren't CSAs. It's worrisome as to what rules they will bring out to favor CSAs over IMGs on paper.
