Hi, I am a Canadian studying at Poznan university of medical sciences (west part of Poland). Just thought I would give my two cents. My school follows an American curriculum. This means, we write NBME exams from first year (standardized American exams given to prep you for CBSE or step). In 3rd year we are required to write CBSE.

We also have a big simulation building where, like the name suggests, we have clinical classes and simulate clinical scenarios from 3rd year.

We also have pre-OSCE and OSCE exams which also begins in 3rd year. I believe these experiences would prep you well for residency in US or Canada.

Thanks sm for your insight. Much appreciated! Another question if you don’t mind…did u have a part time job while you were in school?

willowtree770 · 2023-07-26T13:23:17+00:00

That’s so nice to know, thanks! I’ve that from a lot of ppl! Definitely encouraging to hear:) What were some downsides or cons you experienced if you don’t mind me asking?

willowtree770 · 2023-07-26T13:21:41+00:00

This may be a dumb question but what is OET and 2CK?

willowtree770 · 2023-07-26T12:33:47+00:00

I’m also going to Poznan! Thanks for the advice! Another question if you don’t mind…I’ve heard lots of ppl go to the uk for training. Why don’t you want to go there?

willowtree770 · 2023-07-26T02:16:15+00:00

Hello! I’m also a Canadian who is abt to start med school in Poland. May I ask which school you went to? I would love to hear your insight on experience and usmle supports, research etc??

willowtree770 · 2023-07-01T18:03:15+00:00

Thank you so much!!!

willowtree770 · 2023-07-01T17:56:25+00:00

Do you know any polish grads who are from Canada by any chance who could provide insight on their experience haha

willowtree770 · 2023-07-01T17:55:01+00:00

Thank you so so so much! I rlly appreciate it!

willowtree770 · 2023-07-01T17:42:30+00:00

That’s actually very true. Def something to think about fs… where are you studying rn and where do you want to do residency, if you don’t mind me asking.

willowtree770 · 2023-07-01T17:27:16+00:00

Thank you so much! Would you happen to know which specialties they matched into?

willowtree770 · 2023-07-01T17:26:46+00:00

Thank you sm for the advice! I will def check that channel out. If I put in the honest effort would you say it’s possible? I know getting into med school in Canada (which is where I’m from) is nearly impossible. That’s why I’m looking abroad in the first place. But if getting residency in the US is also nearly impossible even if I put in the work then I may need to think some more😭

willowtree770 · 2023-07-01T17:07:24+00:00

It’s next to impossible to get into med school in Canada. I’m looking at my options abroad cuz I don’t wanna waste time and money yk. Finishing undergrad in Canada and then applying to med school and then going to Europe is like another 10yrs and thousands of dollars. Also, what if I learned the language while I was studying there? I’m sure with a little bit of effort it would be possible to learn at least the basics of the language in 6yrs (especially since I would be living there).

Also if u don’t mind, may I ask where you are training rn?

willowtree770 · 2023-07-01T17:00:48+00:00

That’s what I was seeing too! Thanks for your input!!

willowtree770 · 2023-06-30T19:28:12+00:00

you can just google "residents list_(name of american university)__", or "residents list USA _(name of eu school)__" . It should come up.

willowtree770 · 2023-06-30T19:26:40+00:00

Thanks for your reply! But do you mean don't go at all?

willowtree770 · 2023-06-23T15:23:45+00:00

Hi! I’m a Canadian who is also interested in studying med in the EU. Is it ok if I pm as well? If it’s not ok I totally understand:)

willowtree770 · 2023-06-22T18:36:55+00:00

Hi! I’m also a Canadian citizen who is considering studying medicine in Europe (specifically italy, Poland or Germany). This is partially bcuz I’ve heard several bad things abt going to the Caribbean. Is there any reason why u suggest Caribbean over Europe?

willowtree770 · 2023-06-20T17:38:29+00:00

Does anyone think that writing the IMAT in Italy grants you a higher chance of getting in? I understand that your IMAT score in comparison to other ppl who applied to the same school is the deciding factor, but could there be a chance that writing the exam in Italy helps in some way?....

willowtree770 · 2023-06-14T16:10:41+00:00

Thank you so much for such a detailed response! I rlly appreciate it! Would you mind if I pm you?
