      OT/PT Accepted / Waitlisted/ Rejected - 2024 Cycle

      By lemmein2024 · Posted

      Is there any group chat for WESTERN OT? Got off the waitlist on thursday (I was upper third) and accepted my offer through ORPAS on friday. Big congrats to everyone else this year who also got accepted!! This was my third time applying and I'm still in shock as my sGPA was definitely not the greatest. I took extra courses in the fall to boost my GPA while working full time and also did some research with Ophthalmologists as I work in the field. To those who were rejected this year - don't give up!

      Feedback in Residency

      By Bambi · Posted

      I never had that feedback - however, I had strong soft skills, e.g., I was kind, enjoyed my work, was a hard worker, a team player. And it was these very attributes that got me a competitive surgical residency. You are obviously a good fit as a member of the team. I consider this feedback for you as positive comments and this 'networking' will be most valuable in securing a position upon completion of residency!  If you were considered a 'bad' resident, you would know it without question.

      Feedback in Residency

      By lovemedicinesomuch · Posted

      I notice that my feedback in residency has been that I am "incredibly kind" or that I "enjoy" working with her... etc. How is that feedback helpful and do most women doctors get this kind of feedback over feedback about actual competencies ( ex. knowledge.. etc)?? Or does that kind of feedback mean that I am a bad resident, and people don't want to say??

      Is there a "golden" number of Publications for a Successful Residency Match?

      By Bambi · Posted

      This is so true and totally accurate! I matched to a competitive surgical residency where I was the weakest candidate in terms of knowledge but I had great soft skills and was deemed to be "a good fit". Not one gunner was selected! I also applied to another competitive field where I had a publication, was a stellar candidate and a gunner. I think the potential returns for research/publications is small for the time and effort involved, and I wouldn't do it..

      Ce n’est pas StudiUM ni le centre étudiant. C’est un site spécifiquement pour les horaires de med vet. Voici le lien: http://www.apps.medvet.umontreal.ca/horaires/index.php?ref=siteweb  Vous aurez votre horaire plus vers la fin de l’été si c’est comme l’an passé!

      Is there a "golden" number of Publications for a Successful Residency Match?

      By yohohoy · Posted

      Unlike Med school admissions which tries to be more objective and numbers based, residency match is far more subjective. The number one factor that people talk about is “fit” which literally just means how well you fit into the residency group. To be competitive, put yourself out there, make connections, be nice to EVERYONE, and be a strong Med student.   The number 1 benefit of research is the connections you make, not the publications. Number 2 benefit is having something to show you’re interested in the specialty. Showing that you can actually do research and publish is less important than those first 2.  That being said, having 5 or so research “entries” (pubs, presentations, etc.) in the specialty will be golden for most programs.

      Admission Physio-Ergo 2023: vos questions ou interrogations !!

      By KinGirlie · Posted

      Salut !  J'ai reçu une demande d'admission en physiothérapie à Sherbrooke pour l'automne prochain et j'ai des petits questionnements si quelqu'un est en mesure de me répondre 1. Les horaires ressemblent à quoi pour la première année ? De ce que j'ai compris c'est pas tellement nous qui font nos choix de cours, mais c'est plutôt les responsables du programme qui nous attribuent un horaire, donc je me demandais si on avait tous le même horaire et cela ressemblait à quoi ? 2. Est-ce possible de travailler durant la session ? J'ai une job à temps partiel (je travaille de la maison!) de soir que j'étais en mesure de maintenir lors de mon bac en kinésiologie, mais je me demandais si dans un programme comme physio c'était encore possible ? Je travaillais environ 21h/semaine. 3. J'ai vue dans un message plus haut que les "tutos se faisait la fin de semaine". Est-ce qu'on parle qu'il va y'avoir des cours la fin de semaine ou seulement que les travaux seront à compléter la fin de semaine ? Merci de votre aide! J'ai bien hâte de commencer l'automne prochain :)
