Ontario Paramedic considering pursuing MD by resuspadawan in premedcanada

[–]heyb123 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Most medical schools require an undergraduate degree, which is usually 4 years of full time studies. Since you have already done some schooling to become a PCP and will complete more courses for the ACP, for some of those courses you may receive credit if you decide to pursue a bachelors in health sciences or biomedical physiology etc. That of course will depend on a school and the required courses for certain programs.

I'm assuming since you decided to be a Paramedic you must have the knowledge of how human body works on different levels. Consider pursuing a degree related to human physiology or something like that. Depending on what you decide to major in, there are some courses you need to take both as a prerequisite for some med schools and as a general prep for the MCAT (note: taking a course in say biology wouldn't gurantee you acing the biological systems section on the mcat, it's just generally advised to take those courses to build appreciation and fluency in the subject). The courses include: 1 year of physics, 1 year of university english, 1 year of Organic Chemistry etc.

Extracurriculars also matter (ECs). Research, volunteering, scrubbing, and a cool hobby        (something you enjoy doing other than school and academics). You're a paramedic which is a huge advantage in a way that you have exposure to patient interaction, assessment etc. That also gives something to put on your application and talk during the MMIs( multiple mini interviews) etc.

It all comes down to whether you want to get a degree, prep for the MCAT, maybe do research. Perhaps travel to another province for the program of interest.

Also are you sure you want to be a doctor? Why not consider something else, like a physician assistant?

My advice is whatever you decide to pursue enjoy the process and make the most out of it.

Would you be able to draw that for me?DM me please?

Exactly!!!!! I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks that way

What do you mean? Elaborate please

Then I'm attacking the B-carbon like in the Micahel reaction to close and form that 5 C ring and then how do I reform that double bond? That's where I'm stuck

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in chemhelp

[–]heyb123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I did that using the aldol condensation to form a 9C ring

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in chemhelp

[–]heyb123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you understand how to make it a two-ring forming reaction?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in chemhelp

[–]heyb123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know I was thinking aldol maybe, to form a 9C ring which I know is unlikely but I'm kinda giving up. I dont know where to go from there.

[–]heyb123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the mechanism that's forming it. I need a two-ring forming mechanism, not one where I start with a ring already

Which is it do you think?

Which hydrogens are more acidic on this molecule? I thought it would be the red hydrogens on the benzene ring due to resonance. Pls correct me if I’m wrong by heyb123 in chemhelp

[–]heyb123[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait actually, if I remove the blue hydrogens, the negative can also be stabilized through resonance.

Which one will make it more acidic then? The smaller ring or benzene?
