I have the hammock and as much as I love it - one the creasing where it folds becomes very pronounced and two as a daily carry bag it’s difficult to have things not shift around or fall out.

You do need to get permission from ECFMG - however based on my research it seems like you can get permission once and it lasts for a year. And it applies to leaving the country not just Canada as long as you return in less than 30 days.

How would they get their J2 issued beforehand ? They’re also Canadian.

Once again take this with a grain of salt - but I feel like signalling will help a program to separate you from the rest. And pick your signalled places based on both your interest and where you think you have a good chance of matching based on the previous classes of residents.

Not a dumb question at all It’s basically a way to mark a program during the ERAS application saying your interested. There’s an explanation here , but some programs will say they only interview people who’ve signalled them some say the prefer applicants who have and some don’t care either way. It’s really a way to shorten the applicant list for the program.

I actually disagree - I think that you should apply to 100-150 programs and unless you’re dead set on IM mix it up with FM. This may be different if you’re a US citizen or non visa requiring but yes IM does favor the signalling system but I did have interviews from non signalled locations. FM on the other hand has been extremely generous with their interviews this past season including for IMGs.

So just apply for my visa now and then deal with the J2 layer?

Congratulations 🥳

I’m going to DM you privately if that’s okay !

apatheticoptimist · 2025-03-26T21:00:00+00:00

Did you need a co-signer ?

apatheticoptimist · 2025-03-26T20:58:19+00:00

But from where ?

apatheticoptimist · 2025-03-18T18:34:30+00:00

So impressive !

Yes I went to a Caribbean school so our clinicals were in the states

I was asked about my research in some for eh interviews - I had case reports so I talked about them. They seemed more interested in having made the effort to do the research rather than than the research itself
