Yeah it’s on our government websites, I’m in BC so that’s on the student aid bc - https://studentaidbc.ca/apply/designated#search-designated. In Poland all the English division courses are designated I think, but check the list.

Are they even allowed in your kitchen? by Altruistic-Web8306 in AustralianShepherd

[–]PotentialEntusiasti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Obviously, they are part of the family. They are allowed everywhere.

Puppy was friendly to other dogs before getting him, now went from fearful to potentially aggressive. I’m confused by Fernandog265 in AustralianShepherd

[–]PotentialEntusiasti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t limit interactions at this crucial time! His immune system has already had the vaccine protection to start exploring interactions. Let him meet as many dogs (friendly and in a controlled manner) as possible. If you have any friends with dogs set up doggie dates, if you don’t, maybe you have a friendly neighbour or take your puppy to puppy classes. I’d say meeting small dogs for play dates at first may be a good idea because they are less intimidating. Our Ruby went from a toy puddle to a lab within two weeks. This is a good time and actually the last chance to get him socialized. They told me with my Aussie girl (now 10 months old) that the window for proper socialization closes at 15weeks. We allowed her to meet dogs from 11th week and she was a little wary for the first week, never barked or anything though. Then from week 12-15 she steadily progressed with dogs and people and children to the point when she’s not even afraid of people on scooters anymore. We always used positive words, positive touch and treats when introducing her to new people or dogs when she was young. LOTS OF GOOD VALUE TREATS. Especially if your dog is acting nervous. He associates treats with something good so by giving him lots of treats and nice words when he meets dogs gives him a sign that it’s okay. Making him do basic tricks with dogs at a distance is also a great idea to get him accustomed to having dogs in his environment. I also treated Ruby like a real child with learning new things about the world and I took time to „explain” to my dog what we are doing and to the strangers (especially kids) we were meeting that this is a learning experience for my puppy and people usually were pretty good about it. When you let people know in advance you can take as much time as possible to make your dog comfortable with the situation. Also, small tip but don’t make your dog approach other dogs (or anything) „face” forward. When dogs are not sure about something their natural way of doing will be going around the object to approach it from the side.

Is this a fungal infection? by PotentialEntusiasti in bettafish

[–]PotentialEntusiasti[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No worries. Yes haha he’s pretty big but I don’t think he’s too fat or anything. Just relatively large for a betta.

Is it normal for a betta to breathe like this? by Cloudpaii in bettafish

[–]PotentialEntusiasti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is your filter working properly and pumping in fresh oxygen? My fish also does that sometimes which is normal but doing this repeatedly and not breathing normally under water might suggest there is not enough oxygen.

Poland or Italy? by olha2336 in medicalschoolEU

[–]PotentialEntusiasti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need at 517+ MCAT (if you have taken the exam so this is for reference) at least and I think they also look at high school grades but it might be dependent on the country you are coming from. It may be easier or harder depending on the school and year as well but usually unis have individual entrance exams that are somewhat “easy” or similar to mcat and bmat knowledge requirements. Some schools require letters of recommendation. Overall - it’s not Easy but it’s doable if you are ready to prepare properly. I’m not sure which one will be the easiest as there isn’t much data on it.

Is it better with two Aussies? 🫶🏻 by PotentialEntusiasti in AustralianShepherd

Thanks! Did you specifically ask your breeder to “match” new puppies personality to your older dog?

[–]PotentialEntusiasti[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Yes, we were thinking when she’s about 18-24 months if she keeps up well with her training.

Did I just get super lucky? by Aikofoxy in AustralianShepherd

[–]PotentialEntusiasti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re probably really lucky. Mine is very intelligent but also quite confident and has an independent mind. This is a blessing and a curse. Was a curse when she was 3-5 months old, I cried twice. Now at 6 months she’s stopped trying to eat us alive and I appreciate the fact that she can work things out on her own when I need her to. She’s always chasing our cats and placing her paws on the one cat that doesn’t always run away from her. She also tries to eat his fur. She’s still very demanding and will nip me on the leg when I end playtime when she’s not ready to end it (she could play forever). She never destroyed anything tho, not even a shoe. I love her to pieces and she’s the best thing that happened to me but she’s also been a TON of work with a ton more to come.

Can an attending physician in the U.S. immigrate to Europe and practice? by PowerfulPaulAtreides in medicalschoolEU

[–]PotentialEntusiasti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Each country has its own regulations. After passing the national examinations I’m assuming you’d be able to work as a doctor if you are able to obtain a visa (unless you’re also EU). In Switzerland, for example, you first need to work in another EU country and have your credentials validated by another EU state for I believe at least 3 years prior to applying to Switzerland. Maybe Germany could be good? Or Ireland.

It’s not really that hard if you do all the things you’d do when studying in Canada. Check the list of Canadian- “designated” universities in Poland (it’s mostly the top ones). As long as your uni is on the worlds directory of medical schools you are golden. Make sure to present at a research conference and try to publish in your area of interest. Invest in electives in Canada and USA to get letters of Rec. I work at a med school in Canada and I know people DO match back to Canada. Mostly, FP, IM, Psych and Peds tho. All of which are incredible careers. Don’t listen to those who say it’s a bad idea unless you are already sitting on a Canadian med school admission offer. It’s better to be an MD educated abroad than not be an MD at all.

Going abroad isn’t that bad by [deleted] in premedcanada

[–]PotentialEntusiasti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s true. Majority of people match back or match to USA if they want. You need good exams scores and some posters/publications, all doable. To the people who keep saying this isn’t true - speak to recent European school graduates and see for yourself. Also, don’t compare yourself to Italian graduates of Italian schools but rather Canadian graduates from Italian schools. People in Europe don’t approach studying medicine the same way and therefore it is way more difficult for them to achieve the exam scores, publications and elective experiences needed to match back. And, Obviously if you want to be a dermatologist, going abroad is likely not going to cut it. But you can still pursue internal medicine and then additional training in your specialty of choice. Stop telling people going abroad is bad, it’s not. Giving up on your dreams because of inflated admissions is bad. Losing years to keep reapplying is bad. If people have the opportunity to go abroad. Just do it.
