For manuscripts that are in preparation and not yet submitted are you able to upload them in CARMs or are the pending manuscripts just ones that have been submitted/accepted? If you are allowed to include them would they be catagoried as "other"?

Hello,

Hoping to get some advice on which Hospital in Canada has a good MSK Radiology department/fellowship in Canada. Mostly focused on sport medicine and rheum MRI MSK imaging, US MSK reporting and joint injections.

Thanks

Neurology currently has a reputation for being one of the lower paying specialties. What is the future of neurology compensation in Canada? With some of the new treatments on the horizon, any expected changes in compensation?

Also, are there ways of doing well financially in neurology (with or without fellowship)? Not too much data online regarding neurology compensation.

Thoughts are appreciated!

Hey everybody, like the title says is are these specialties really that competitive? I see everywhere that they’re the most competitive specialities and there’s a reason for this, but how competitive are they truly?

I feel like in first year everyone says they want something but by the end of 4th year it’s only a couple of people that are actually interested in it. Is not wanting to be a gunner despite loving the specialty a valid reason for not pursing it? I’m very conflicted

I was wondering how you can shadow different specialties as a med student to figure out which specialty you are interested in. Can you ask hospitals and let them know you are a med student. Genuinely curious please.

Thanks!

Any urologists (residents or attendings) open to discussing their career? Looking for insight into life during residency, call schedules, work life balance, etc.

Please comment (:

What can I do to get research opportunities in specific fields to improve my cv

Research is crucial for matching into many competitive specialties. However, I’m curious about which specialties specifically require research within their field. It’s been weighing on my mind, as the longer I remain undecided about my future specialty, the more challenging it may become to secure a match, especially if I choose a competitive one. I am involved in research projects, but I’m not completely sure whether I’ll be pursuing the associated specialties.

Hi Guys!

Not sure if this is the correct place to post this question, so please let me know if I am in the wrong place.

I am an incoming medical student and just wanted to hear some advice that you may have, whether it is about socializing, studying, clubs, etc.

Anything would be much appreciated!

Like was it all family docs or was there other specialties also included? Besides the FM core rotation where is a good place to get letters like if I do a rural emerg or hospitalist elective with a family doc as my preceptor would that be a good option? Also is it necessary to do electives in FM to show interest for your application? I don't want it to seem like FM is my backup but I want to use my electives to try other specialties just for my interest

I'm a 2nd year med student and I'm having a hard time with the anatomy. Many people advised me to get a tablet and hopefully it'll be alot easier, but unfortunately I don't know which is best. Any other tips are appreciated

Hi guys,

I am feeling very nervous about prospects after medical school graduation and being matched. If anyone here can share their insights into being matched to family medicine residency for CMGs, it would help me clear my mind with what should I go for in terms of career.

What factors do they weigh for being matched to residency especially family med as that's the one I'm interested most.

Do they put heavy emphasis on extra curricular for residency as well?

Thank you

Once you pick a specialty is that it forever? Say you do family medicine but then 5 years into being a family doctor, you’re like nah I want to do ortho, is there any chance of switching?

Will there be any salary increase this year? Salaries haven’t been updated on carms yet.

I am a 4th year medical student stucking with learn a system or a sequential process to make a diagnosis. Can you guys help me with this. Thank you so much

Hey,

Is it possible for IMG to apply for subspecialty in one of the provinces?

Im about to finish my studies in about two months, im not citizen of Canada, i dont have wp/pr.

Is there any programs for my kind?

Thanks.

My cohort at the distributed site is super obsessed with being part of the "in-crowd." They pick and choose who to hang out with based on who's the loudest or seems to be having the most fun. It’s honestly pretty exhausting and makes studying tough because the social vibe is so toxic. Since there are only 40 of us in the class, it’s even more noticeable. We’re all friendly and can talk to anyone, but just because someone chats with you doesn’t mean they actually want to be your friend unless others are talking to you too. It's pretty easy to get excluded, and some people will pretend like you don't exist. For medical students to be acting like this, I'm a little disappointed, not even my high school was like this.

I see some doctors listed as consultants on the hospital website. Does this mean they are a newer grad? Or is this some sort of common distinction for something else?

I'm M3 thinking of applying to anesthesia residency at UofT. I was wondering how important first authorship is regarded as on applications? I have quite a few publications where I am included as an author (like ~5th author) but no first/second author. Does it matter that much? And on average, how many publications is regarded as competitive? TIA

Thanks in advance, I wanna hear experience.

is there med school prejudice like there is law school prejudice when you go to apply for residency or a job?

What are some questions you’d recommend asking current psych residents as a med student? I’m curious about the program culture, and opportunities for research at the moment. What else should I be asking?

I don't know if I'm the only one having this issue, but the AFMC has sent an email to my home school for verification and it's not showing up in any of their inboxes. I've asked them to resend it thrice now. Is there any other way that they could verify my homeschool. Any suggestions on what I can do?

Hi, i am in the md program at uoft and they offer a Meng stream through MD+ program. I was wondering if anyone has done that and would it useful for a potential career in industry or consulting?

Hi, I did residency in US, and heading back to Canada for a general paediatrician job (am a Canadian Citizen).

Realistically, if I saw 20-25 patients per day, 5 days per week, what is the take home pay per month (after tax, disability, health insurance etc)? I am aware it depends on the type of patient but I would appreciate a range!

I will not have my own practice, I am joining someone else's.

Thanks!!
