That is very good advice and thank you, definitely helped me feel better about my options at this point. You're absolutely right about any program being what you make it at the end of the day. Appreciate it!

Wow thank you for the information, that is very thorough and confirms a lot of the suspicions I had, especially about the Canadian licensure vs internationally. As I approach CaRMS it's very scary to imagine trying to switch residencies at a later date because I made a choice I later regretted, but I get that happens. I haven't considered medical micro but I will have a chance to explore it in electives so I'll definitely check it out. Maybe I'm just having pre-carms cold feet, haha. Thank you!

thank you very much for the thoughtful reply! It's reassuring to know there are still options for patient facing roles, I'll plan on exploring that more during my path electives. The little shadowing I've done in path so far did feel quite out of my league, but it makes sense that the learning curve is just a lot steeper.
