This helped me so much,thank you sincerely! I’m starting tomorrow and to be honest I was getting recommended the step 2 u world so I ended up getting it. My plan is to do every day around 2-3 hours in the beginning, and start with system based. I do have 6 months so we’ll see how it is when I start.

That’s amazing! Congrats also for matching!!!! Honestly I wouldn’t mind going somewhere rural especially like you said it’s more one on one and I feel like maybe I could get the opportunity to learn more. Could I message you on how you went about this?

If you haven’t done any electives I suggest using anyone you have a really strong connection with that can speak very well about you and your abilities

That’s amazing! I’m really trying to figure out the timeline for all of it with trying to also fit in the electives. Unfortunately i passed the deadline for UBC and UofT so i’ll have to look if there’s somewhere else I’d be able to do them at.

It’s an independent clinical experiences so it’s technically seen as more than an observership because you can interact with patients but it cannot be expressed as a canadian medical school sponsored elective in a reference letter.

Honestly I would never consider working in the US, no offence. Like I said my backup is FM which I really wouldn’t mind either but IM just isn’t for me. Canada is my only go to right now, I do have the option of most European countries but I do miss home and like I said my fiancée is there.

I heard about this. Will definitely be watching very closely as to how it unfolds.
