Few telerads companies overall. Most offer after-hours cases to cover groups of smaller hospitals. Some also offer outpatient cases and dedicated CT/MRI work. I speak mostly of Ontario. Not sure about other provinces. It would be nice to have a pan-Canadian license but that is currently fiction.

My tips: make yourself marketable. Unless you go full on academic with publications, research interests, etc, try to find and love procedures, breast, and chest. MSK/Neuro are great too, but tend to be a bit saturated or readily supplied. Breast/body is a great combo skillset, but I don't know if there is still as much of a need. The ability to do anything and everything is ALWAYS an asset, but comes with the trade-off of having to either be amazing at everything or risk spreading yourself thin. Junior residents have plenty of time to overcome "I hate MSK" or "I hate breast" or whatever else happens early on. I wish I had driven myself to love MSK more, but I never found it my cup of tea. My humble thoughts - would love to hear others'. Open to discussing.

3.35 cGPA is not the end of the world. Trust me. You'll need to outperform on VR and Casper, but for the record, 3.35 cGPA is not an impossibility. Obviously it's an uphill battle, but people have done it

TimmyMax!! You are an inspiration for selflessness. I will do my best to log on at the time

The idea that I'm not alone in this process called "applying to med". Are you a Fresh Prince fan?

Nope, I'm not well-connected enough! Are you upset about Steve Jobs, Apple CEO until earlier today, resigning?

Mac, UofT, and try for Queen's (your WS is low, but they may overlook it).

@ Andie: .... Wow.... I am humbled by your relentless pursuit of your dream. You've truly inspired me (almost to TEARS!)! All the best and I'm sure you'll make an excellent physician!
