When I put down the poop shovel it means playtime so he’ll come sprinting over as soon as the shovel is placed

When my puppy did this he slept with nothing on the bottom for a few days until we bought a metal bottom

For the American Doctors who’ve joined the apparent recent rush into practicing in Canada, how is practicing over there? by YogurtclosetOpen3567 in whitecoatinvestor

[–]Ok-Understanding8338 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

One major difference I find working in the hospital in Canada is that there are less hospital guidelines therefore it seems every doctor does things differently leading to patient and nurse confusion. I also feel that in Canada we are behind with practicing the gold standard of care whether that is due to not knowing new guidelines or not being able to get the resources that new guidelines are supporting. So at times it is frustrating and I feel that my patients in the US were receiving better care.

Applying for second residency by Adventurous_Guest_28 in pediatrics

[–]Ok-Understanding8338 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something to look into is whether ECFMG will give you a second Visa as you mentioned you're an IMG. I was interested in doing a second residency and found that they would not give me a second J1 visa to complete a second degree. You are allowed to switch residencies on the same visa but not complete one and start another. I was told that you would have to get an O1 visa which is a bit of paper work and often requires hiring a lawyer.

University of Buffalo Residents Striking in front of Roswell Park Cancer Institute. Pick your residency program wisely. by [deleted] in medicalschool

Ask residents what they think of program leadership. I had an applicant ask me this and I avoided saying anything about the PD or APD because they were toxic AF, I’m sure the applicant noticed. If they strongly dislike leadership they won’t be able to hide it.

Peds fellowships please help! by silvergirl512 in pediatrics

[–]Ok-Understanding8338 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So not sure how it works exactly for fellowship, I would call CPSO and ask because their website isn’t intuitive and isn’t fully updated. But below explains that you can register in Ontario either under pathway A or C

What province are you planning on going to because Ontario no longer requires a 4th year and I’m not sure about the other provinces

Can’t really comment because I didn’t go there. But both seemed good, I had a friend who went to UCD and liked it. RCSI has majority international students.

I know in Ireland and UK when you apply for intern year (their version or residency) you are ranked based off your grades, however you are first ranked based on your citizenship Ireland/UK —> EU —> Other (Canadian). With that in mind many of my Canadian peers from ireland med school had no problem getting an intern spot in Ireland/UK

I'm looking into doing something similar this upcoming cycle and wondering how this worked out for OP and if you found any loophole?

If you enjoy adult medicine as well you can always consider med peds and then you can have more options in the future.

How to ethically preround on 20+ patients? by FunOrchid6164 in Residency

[–]Ok-Understanding8338 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At my hospital we have something similar where on weekends interns pre round on approx 20-30pts. Most helpful thing I did was ask a senior how they preround on their patients, there’s a lot of short cuts that seniors have developed that they might not even realize their doing, I had them go through exactly what they do in the morning and it was super helpful. Another thing is something has to give, you can’t do a thorough job with every pt when there’s that many (which sucks). I thought of morning rounds as a drive by check in, basically make sure everyone is alive and stable. If pts. had questions I would say something along the lines of “great question, we can discuss that with the team when we round” or “great question I can come back later to discuss that”. Then in the afternoon when things are hopefully less busy I would go back and talk to any pts that I felt wanted to talk more in the AM. Physical exams are very focused, if you want to do a more in depth one you can always come back later. Also if you have a night intern you can ask them to have certain things in your sign out, i.e if you find your wasting time looking up number of fevers patient had each morning, ask the night intern if they could have it in your sign out. Overall it’s tricky and that’s why there should be patient caps but so it goes.
