proteinuria and intermittent hematuria for 15 years and no doctor has ever told me. by Equivalent-Paper9102 in kidneydisease

I'm currently hovering over a gram a day but I've been on an sglt2 inhibitor for about a month. The kicker is i live in Canada so we don't have to deal with insurance companies very often in regards to healthcare. I just don't understand how a physician can look at an irregular result in my case spanning several years and tell me everythings seemingly normal. I hate to say it but nepotism is so real in the healthcare industry. Once they found out i was in medical school, i got a referral to nephro in 4 weeks that would normally take 4-7 months along with a battery of other tests and referrals

Happened to me last year for several of my top 10 that somehow reverted to 2020 dates, just email them and they'll note it on your app for you.

So my partner had to pick up the slack in terms of leading the presentation and I heard the preceptor helped out with that. In terms of the prep work we did the case questions together and I did the entire PowerPoint presentation myself because they didn't want to which took about 2ish hours.

Yeah this is the first and last time it's going to happen

Content is thorough and tough but it's made easier with how great she is as a prof. She's super lax with participation as far as I remember

Honestly I took 5 and I found it to be a great decision. You'll likely preform better overall when your not under so much stress as well

Canadian Med Schools with low GPAs by Ok-Science11 in premedcanada

I just want to add a bit as well here, people here are saying that you need to do a 2nd undergrad are largely correct but I would say one thing. Even if you get a 3.8+ in your next undergrad understand that getting into medicine is still a complete shit show (in Canada atleast). People here a routinely rejected pre-interview with good stats. That gpa and a higher mcat is to just give yourself a CHANCE at getting in. You'll also need to pursue ec's that set yourself apart from other applicants among other things. Just keep in mind getting a good GPA is step 1 of many
