But, probably most important, what are your clinical experiences like? American schools want to see (1) patient interaction experiences, and (2) shadowing experiences. The first is to show that you are capable of working with sick people and handle the stresses of that, and the second is to show that you know what you're getting yourself into.

GoodNight Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 Hi OP - you should register for the MSAR when the new stats come out by the end of this month. This will give you some better insight into your chances. Also, I have seen some lists for Canadian friendly American schools through my social media posts in the past. Just Google it and you should get some good guidance although make sure you always check what you are being told. Nothing is Gospel out there!!!
