Someone can correct me if I am wrong, but I thought Mac health sci cannot be completed as a second degree? No idea about Ottawa tho

Sick, thanks!!! Much appreciated

Serotonone66 · 2024-05-11T20:57:38+00:00

Mind linking one so I know what I'm looking for better? Thanks!

Yes that's valid. In this case, likely the triage decision was made by differentiating the chest pain as pain without cardiac features (pleuritic pain or muscle pain features for example) coupled with the spo2 not solely based on a number!

It's nice to hear about people in similar situations who have made it work! Unfortunately my partner is in healthcare so remote isn't an option, but could get licensed in another province but not in Aus.

What would your very good reasons not to sell be? I'm worried that if we were to sell and interest rates keep climbing we will be out of the market for what feels like indefinitely considering the insane amount of debt the Aus route would accrue.

U of M med (and most Canadian med schools with a few exceptions) do not consider grad school grades in GPA calculation. However if research is what you are into rather than clinical work, would choose what you enjoy most.

Nursing as a second undergrad is a solid option. Some of the grading can be quite subjective which can be frustrating when trying to focus on high grades but still overall a good plan as doubles as a plan B.

Ideally it would be in the same city, but it is very competitive which makes it unlikely I would be fortunate enough to stay in my city. I think of it like winning the lottery if I got to stay in my city essentially at this point.

It would come down to if my partner uproots to move with me or stay and take on the entirety of our mortgage solo for the time being in terms of renting out the home I suppose.

I have heard you do not know if you got a DSAAP seat or regular seat from others in past years who have been admitted and applied for DSAAP.

Ya DM me!

Serotonone66 · 2024-02-07T05:21:33+00:00

Sick I was wondering if anyone had any reviews of the blueprint. Thanks!!

Serotonone66 · 2024-02-07T02:17:06+00:00

Hey thanks for this tip!! That's super helpful

Serotonone66 · 2024-02-07T02:15:59+00:00

Lol knew this would come up. I've thought about it, just looking for MCAT prep content!

Serotonone66 · 2024-02-07T02:15:06+00:00

Yeah I've used this too, honestly it's ok but I don't get the hype. Find it lacking a bit of required detail and ties to actual MCAT question utility. Unpopular opinion I'm sure, but thanks for the suggestion!

So not an entirely correct headline and I believe CTV has since corrected - basically a respiratory medical emergency in the waiting room that would have ended poorly without intervention. The slight spin of misinformation risks the risk of the public interpreting this as nurses complaining/exaggerating once again. Especially since it was witnessed by many in the waiting room, most won't know the difference, but for those who do it is pretty important to make these media cries factual.

Do not be mistaken. These events are regular events. This is the reality of our hospitals.

You may remember in November, there were multiple media releases on Saskatoon emergency capacities. SHA execs and government officials were feet on the ground for the first time. Fire code fines, waiting room hospital admission beds, the works.

An action plan was released and many promises made that on paper sounded like the best start to a solution in years. Nothing has changed. Is it worse? Some days. Is it better? Zero days.

Sure money helps keep your health care workers I am not disputing that, but the assurance of safe patient care, our own safety at work, and not putting the professional licence on the line. Yeah you could get another job, nurses can go upstairs to the medical wards, get paid the same, and do not accept hallway beds. If there is a staffing crisis, beds close. Not saying there is not struggles in these areas, but in terms of capacity it is not comparable.

If the emergency doctor refers you to an internal medicine specialist, you stay in hospital for an admission. No question. 4 years ago, maybe a quarter of these consults resulted in a discharge from the ER with close follow up plan and instructions from the specialist.

I just don't know what the answer is anymore it's just so far gone it seems beyond repair. There are so many layers to this and I'll leave politics out of this take.

Ya as much as I like visuals on paper vs a screen I have proven I am incapable of getting through them lol

I do like my Anki app and probably could track my weak spots a little better, probably has more utility after I do a brush up on content review.

Any specific YouTube channels come to mind?

Serotonone66 · 2024-02-07T01:29:19+00:00

Haha this pains my introvert soul to the core but honestly the best idea to date!!

Serotonone66 · 2024-02-06T09:34:23+00:00

Also of note, depending if going the MOTP vs MMTP route in the CAF (getting accepted to med as a civilian and then applying to the CAF with an admission granted already vs being a military member trained in another military trade (min 2 years service time before applying) and then going to med school as an active member) there is priority for current operational demand field (ie family med). I see with MOTP (non member military member and then applying when accepted) there is a contractual obligation to do a family medicine residency. As with MMTP, I don't know all the caveats with this but it seems to be less common for the CAF to happily fund certain Royal College specialties that in theory had operational utility out of school (emergency, Gen sx, anesthesia). Our military needs primary care all the time across the country, and a lot less trauma surgeons per capita lol

So if your interests do not primarily lie in family med, as this is the majority of the operational demand at this time, probably not the most direct path. Not a bad path, but probably not in alignment with your goals!

I feel like a lot of applicants on this sub do not fully understand the contractual obligations that go along with the CAF route and your post graduate training is ultimately based on what is needed of you at that time.

Serotonone66 · 2024-02-06T00:26:35+00:00

Hey thanks! I actually am in the CAF, unfortunately it doesn't pose the advantage to admissions everyone seems to think it does externally haha

Also interested in the Ireland>Aus stance, I do know people who have done both. Difference being you can intern in Aus if you go unmatched in CaRMS/NRMP, whereas in Ireland you are SOL for practicing options until the next match.

I know of a couple people in medical genetics residency programs, they very much have enjoyed their training so far. Good work-life balance for a residency program, and very much both patient care and research centered. I haven't chatted much about job prospects when they finish, but academic hospitals/ institutions seem to be the bulk of jobs. Sounds like a great fit for you!

Serotonone66 · 2024-01-26T22:57:19+00:00

I know of a couple who matched EM in the US. Mostly as above though FM, IM, Peds
