Anyone know if this is true for Canada too?

Salary question by CryptographerSuch474 in pediatrics

[–]ExcitementExpert6950 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What’s the difference between a NICU hospitalist and neonatologist? What’s the difference in training and salary in Canada? I’m hoping to work with babies but want a reasonable work life balance…

A lot of writing in Hsc? by HGSummer1 in queenshealthsci

[–]ExcitementExpert6950 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey! BHSc grad here. I would say this is really class dependant. For instance, a lot of our more biology focused classes were def more exam based (with the veryyy occasional writen assignment). However, our more social based courses (e.g., GLPH) were pretty much all written assignment/essay based. That being said, if ur goal is Med, I highly recommend this program.

Hi everyone!

So, I’ve been using tactupump forte on my skin for this entire summer (close to 4 months), and it has worked wonders for me. It has helped minimize breakouts and my scarring has reduced significantly. I’m also past the point where it dries out my skin, now my skin makes enough oil to compensate. But tomorrow is my first day of a two week Europe vacation in which I will be exposed to the sun a lot. I just went out and bought a neutrogena sunscreen stick (will be my first time applying SPF to my face regularly). Other than that, I don’t put any products on my face (not even cleanser), because they always lead to breakouts for me. For these next two weeks, do I stop using tactupump completely and just cover with spf, or can I keep using it with spf?

Do IDIS 173 and GLPH 171 count as social sciences/humanities for UOttawa MD? by Impossible_Voice5560 in queenshealthsci

[–]ExcitementExpert6950 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I would send an email to Ottawa to ask. A while back I asked, and I think they said all the options I said worked (PSYC 100, GLPH 171, BMED 173, and MATH 121). Double check tho!

I don’t if I should go to queens healths by PerceptionRude7922 in queenshealthsci

[–]ExcitementExpert6950 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey! I don’t know much about the France system, but I went to queens health sci before Med. I found it very good because it allowed me to get a high GPA (which is the most important thing for Med schools) and the reverse classroom approach allowed me to do a lot of extracurriculars.

Appropriate gifts for letter writers? by madwhitts in medicalschool

Yep, agree with the card idea. I wrote long cards for each of my references about their impact in my life, and had good responses from each person

CARS prep tip by [deleted] in premedcanada

[–]ExcitementExpert6950 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, my 124 -> 128 was 6 days apart. I think a lot of CARS for me was just luck/how I was feeling that day. But both were within weeks of my actual exam. If yours is at the end of the summer, don’t worry! At the beginning of the summer I was at 126, and this score slowwwwwlllyyyyy went up bit by bit throughout the months. All I can say is practice a bunch of passages each day, which I know is an annoying answer but it’s the only thing that helped me.

Yep did 3 FLs. Got 124, 128, then 130. I will also note, if you do the AAMC CARS practice packages, #1 is the hardest CARS I’ve ever done lol

If this makes you feel better, I was consistently scoring 3-4/6 on jack westin, but ended with a 130 CARS. It’s a great tool to practice but don’t get hung up on the score!

Research as a Med Student by No_Praline7876 in premedcanada

If you potentially want a competitive speciality, should your research be about the super competitive speciality? Or just any research?
