      From reading the materials and talking with people in FM leadership it's academic nonsense unfortunately. They genuinely seem to think that making training longer will somehow increase generalism by making people "feel prepared" as if somehow taking away another year of staff income when you are already financially constrained makes this more comforting. Out of dozens of future FMs I've worked with I've met ONE who actually believed this.

      Le programme d'externat a été revu pour les prochaines cohortes par contre. Je sais qu'il y a quelques moments où la présence est requise. Il y a peut-être des accommodements pour les gens en ELI, mais ça reste que je pense qu'il faut avoir un moyen de se loger à proximité.

      It's a surprise to see cardiac surgery have two unfilled spots after the second round.  I'm not sure if there are more issues within the discipline - e.g. turf vs cardiology or whether it was just a very poorly planned CaRMS selection process. I don't think the CFPC is practical enough to think about negotiating power - in any case, the true power resides in provincial governments which keep increasing the number of FM residency positions despite lagging demand from CMGs.  In response, FM programs are basically backfilling their positions with more and more IMGs -  "But when second-round results were released on Thursday, all but two spots reserved for military doctors were filled in Ontario, the majority of them with graduates of international medical schools.  Many of those students are Canadians returning home after completing a medical degree abroad, Dr. Green said. CaRMS matched more international graduates to residency spaces this year than ever before: 671, up from 555 last year and 439 in 2022." It's also true that the trends will likely continue unless more provinces decide to prioritize FM.  Instead, as mentioned by shikimate, it looks like AB decided to give NPs what looks like to be a better contract than most FPs nationwide.  In other words, FM is really no longer becoming a value proposition.  https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/article-family-medicine-resident-graduates/ https://open.alberta.ca/dataset/00a02c21-141b-46be-af2c-528ef6ee29a6/resource/1fc45515-397e-4984-9b23-5f1ca6c76754/download/hlth-nurse-practitioner-primary-care-program-guide-2024-04.pdf

      J’ai refusé parce que je suis dans le processus d’admission pour médecine. J’ai décidé de choisir physiothérapie comme 2e choix pour pouvoir réessayer en médecine ensuite si je ne rentre pas cette année. Jai beaucoup hésité entre poursuivre médecine ou vet. J’ai presque choisi de faire vet et devenir vétérinaire car ça a toujours été un rêve et j’avais déjà une réponse alors que med j’ai encore rien, mais finalement j’ai réalisé que je suis plus passionnée par la médecine. J’espère que ça éclaire des choses.

      radd speaks with wisdom and truth!  You likely will do best in the program of greater interest to you. If that is UdeM, fine. Otherwise, you alone must make the final decision and do not let your parents persuade you otherwise. After all, you alone will live with the results. I took a program what interested me tremendously, I was highly motivated and as I studied hard throughout my studies, I received top grades and was accepted into medical school. However, this came with self-sacrifice. My life stopped for 3 years during undergrad as all I did was study to the point of exhaustion. My program was not difficult but the material was voluminous and whereas I could have floated by on a B average, I had to wrok hard to attain A+ status. During this time, I lost every friend that I had as I had no time for my friends and my s.o., who was supportive of my ambitions, only saw me once a week for a few hours as otherwise, I was studying always.    Remember, there are more competitive applicants than there are seats in med school. Its like a game of musical chairs where there are more applicants than seats available. It becomes somewhat of a lottery amongst competitive applicants.

      Coucou, on est un peu dans le même bateau! Ça fait plusieurs années que je tente de rentrer et Med Vet est la seule option pour moi. Les refus à répétition sont très difficiles et cette année, je vois enfin la lumière au bout du tunnel. J'espère vraiment que nos efforts porteront fruit et qu'on sera dans la même cohorte. Si tu es passionné comme moi, je ne vois pas pourquoi ils ne te prendraient pas. Personnellement, peu importe quel campus, je plie bagage et je fonce devenir vétérinaire! Je te souhaite la meilleure des chances pour ton entrevue et j'espère qu'on se verra en septembre.
