Medwho123 Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 Salut tout le monde, J'ai ma copine qui est actuellement en Prémed à l'UDEM campus Montréal. Elle pense faire une demande pour être transférer au campus de Trois-Rivières (Mauricie) pour l'automne 2017. Avant de prendre sa décision, elle se demandait pour les stages d'externat si cela se faisait à Montréal ou en Mauricie majoritairement. Merci pour vos réponses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saison Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 Si tu es au campus de la Mauricie tes stages d'externat obligatoires (chirurgie, med- interne, pédiatrie, OBGYN, medfam, gériatrie, etc.) vont se faire en region aussi. Mais elle va toujours être capable de faire ses stages à options ailleurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bambi Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 TR is a far better option than Montreal as class size is smaller, opportunities are greater, the hospital is right there and it is only 90 minutes away for weekends. There is no comparison between the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medwho123 Posted January 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 Petite question. J'ai entendu dire que plusieurs cours à Trois-Rivières se donnent par Vidéo conférence est-ce vrai? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blinkbest Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 Petite question. J'ai entendu dire que plusieurs cours à Trois-Rivières se donnent par Vidéo conférence est-ce vrai? En effet! Presque tous les cours sont donnés en visio avec le campus Montréal! Il y a des micros de disponibles et les élèves de 3R peuvent poser des questions durant le cours! Il arrive que certains profs se déplacent à 3R pour donner le cours en personne, mais la majorité du temps c'est en visio! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However it really depends on you. Laval seems unreal and a bigger faculty with more options. I don’t know sherbooke. And Mauricie is a newer campus but 30 or so people constantly.

Clerkship can be intimate where you can develop relationships with attendings, and this could impact upon recommendations in CaRMS - which can make a major difference for you when time comes for selection! However, you have 3 amazing choices, and you really cannot go wrong with any of them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, you have 3 amazing choices, and you really cannot go wrong with any of them! I'd say Sherbrooke probably is a good balance between the large opportunities of a large faculty while the PBL method makes it easy to develop close relationships with preceptors. For instance, I have a 2-3 tutors who have already told me to email them if I rotate through their service because they'd make sure they were my attending and would write me strong letters of reference (unless I ended up being a complete retard during clerkship, I assume). I also ended up having 1 residency PD and 2 department heads as preceptors that I was able to get to know which is another plus. Another even guaranteed me an acceptance in the R3 program he heads. Now, my point isn't to brag but rather to reinforce the notion that being close to faculty is very important. A mostly PBL school like Sherbrooke will allow that and so will smaller campuses like Saguenay or Trois-Rivières. On the other hand, I doubt a school like Laval that, as far as I know, mostly focuses on lectures would. Connections are extremly important in medicine.

Take this with a grain of salt. As far as I'm aware, this has happened to no one in my group/year. Also, I have yet to have a tutor who isn't a family doctor. It seems to be quite rare to have a specialist as a tutor, let alone the head of a department or program director. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to be quite rare to have a specialist as a tutor, let alone the head of a department or program director. Agree - this is exceptional. I've had mostly positive interaction with tutors, including a few senior faculty, but also related specialties, with mostly good evaluations. In my case, lack of native fluency in French has made tutorials in particular more challenging - oddly, some tutors are either extremely empathetic or seem to view it less positively (although not much to do to improve lack of fluency beyond what I've done - it's not something that's just a matter of putting in some more hours..). It also seems to have improved over time though, and there's less attention to the issue, but certainly may have prevented me from forming those rock solid connections. I suppose it just adds weight, unfortunately, in terms of intangibles, against the "med school in 2nd language" idea, which some other issues are mentioned here :http://forums.premed101.com/topic/99477-med-school-in-second-language/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F508 Posted June 11, 2018 Report Share Posted June 11, 2018 Si elle veut faire une résidence contingentée, elle aura plus d'opportunités de recherche et de faire des contacts importants à Montréal. Par contre, à TR, elle aura une meilleure exposition clinique et elle pourrait avoir des lettres de recommendations plus personnelles. Des pour et contre à considérer.

All department or program directors are at the big centers. Satellite sites tend to have more family doctors than specialists as tutors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isazap Posted December 5, 2018 Report Share Posted December 5, 2018 C'est vrai que la plupart des cours en mauriciesont en visio?! Je veux appliquer aussi à Montréal mais comme j'ai ma petite famille à Québec je voulais m'informer davantage sur trois rivières. Mais si les cours sont en visio ça m'apparait plutôt dommage... des gens qui étudient la en ce moment ont des avis ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Par contre, seulement les cours magistraux, ce qui équivaut environ à 3-4 cours par bloc ou un peu plus pour les cours de clinique. Les travaux sont généralement en APP (apprentissage par problème) en sous-groupe d'environ 8 étudiants. Par contre, il y a beaucoup d'avantage du côté de l'exposition clinique! Je t'invite à m'écrire en message privé pour qu'on en discute! Bonne chance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bambi Posted December 6, 2018 Report Share Posted December 6, 2018 Tiny class size, immediately next to hospital, far better networking, great PBL, more opportunities are some of the many advantages of TR to Montreal. There is no contest as to which is in your best interests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
